Where have you seen God at work this past week?
Jan – Did you see 50,000 people in Washington, DC – did anybody see it on TV? 50,000 people, guys! Shouting and voices lifted high unto God. Franklin Graham had that Prayer March in Washington, DC, yesterday. And Fred – that new song “Earth to God” come in God, you have to get it. Has anybody heard it? It’s awesome - it’s a prayer to God by John Rich. Just Google it - Prayer by John Rich, Earth to God, come in God. It is positively awesome. The Lord is moving! He is alive and well! And we ought to be too! We should rise up & shout to the Lord with our voice of crying.
Wendy F. – I had a God moment yesterday. I went in to the hospital and I’m fine. This is not about me or my illness, I have some underlying heart issues that we’re figuring out. But, my God moment is when I was in the ER, just realizing how much goodness we have. That I or anyone can have a problem. Think that hearts are sensitive things, you’re anxious and worried; you can go in and get immediate feedback. Yes, your heart is amazing and it can do all these things and you are totally fine. And just to think about that. Because, I think for me and for many of us we are surrounded by all the badness and all this stuff we’re worried about...So, that makes me miss these types of things until they smack me in the face. So that was a really grateful God moment, yesterday, that both things can be true. Not to underestimate the difficult stuff that’s going on but, sometimes my limited brain only sees one or the other. So, it was such a wonderful God moment, let’s look for all the good things and be grateful for those too because they are all around. And sometimes it’s just more about us not seeing them; missing them. It was such an encouragement that I needed, especially right now. So, my prayer is that we all get all of those good ah-ha moments with the stuff that we’re grateful for every day.
Bonnie – This week I had to take Tami Ely to Urgent Care. Things haven’t gone real well, please pray for her – she has a lot of issues that need to be resolved. But, when I got there and I was quite upset about her condition, Debbie Gabel was sitting there in the chair and it was just so comforting to me to have someone else that knows Tami and knows me. We got some testing done and further testing needs to be done. So, please pray for Tami.
Martha – Jan, I love the faith enthusiasm that you show! This is Martha again; we have just had 3 strong God moments. We had Jan professing her faith which is so strong. We had Wendy – the doctors may say – oh, you have a good heart but, they don’t know what kind of good heart you really have. Bonnie, if you don’t do God’s work every day, I don’t know who does.
