Last night was wonderful! It was so fun and inspiring to be with such a diverse group. They talked a little about how what we were doing was like a little slice of heaven. Which it was, but at the same time I happened to see Roy and Michelle out of the corner of my eye, and it stuck me that all the people they are reaching will be there too. Then in front of me, I could see Scott and Holly, and thought of all of those people too. I can imagine it just a little bit better now but the reality is going to be awesome!
A couple of things that just stuck out to me personally were:
When one of the preachers said while we may be in a recession God never recedes! In my mind, I turned that phrase round and round, just running through different Scriptures, and he is right! God always goes forward with His plan even when the "human" plan at the time seems to be going in a different direction. Application wise I took that as which am I doing? Receding or proceeding?
The other was when one of them said we have seen denominationalism (is that the right word??) fall. I can home and told Chad, I can remember when it was so important what kind of church you went to. That defined you to a large extent. It also gave hypocrisy a huge leap, as we acted like we were on board but lived another way. Now, the church at large is more in tune with what really matters, Jesus, and showing more grace on the preferences. Amazing that we are the generation to experience it!
So how about you? What struck you heart?

All the different music was fun! Just being in one place and getting a sampling of different kinds of music. All though ours is still my favorite.

Dear Jenny:
I have a friend that goes to your church(Tabitha). I live in New York & went to your study online & just wanted to thank you for such a profound word today. It was in week one how God fights for us & wants us to see with our own eyes him fighting for us, out of Exodus 14:19.
I even made that my memory verse for this month. Thanks again & God bless!!
Isaiah 33:6(NET) "He is your constant source of stability. He abundantly provides safety & great wisdom. He gives all this to those who fear Him."
In Christ's Love,

The Spirit filling the room, my husband raising his hands in worship, color blind people, children dancing in the aisles and even solemn faced ladies sitting quite still and God rocked our house!
Monica,
I am glad that you are enjoying the study! I would love to be able to email you, if you would like send me an email at gowatersedge at gmail dot com.
Have a great weekend!
