Can I just take a post to say that God is totally rocking my socks off? I mean for real He is truly amazing me. I just finished listening to The Stone's sermon series on the DNA of the church and man my mind was just blown away. In result of those few sermons I am now taking my quite times to study the book of Acts and the disciples as they listened to the call to go out and spread the good news of Jesus Christ. Those twelve were just so dang in love with Jesus and so obedient to His calling! I get goosebumps every time I read a verse that talks about the numbers of believers and followers increasing. I've been missing my community of Jesus loving believers but at the same time I can feel that God wants me here, in Denver and at this treatment center. My prayer has been for Him to work through me and shine through me and what joy that has brought to my days. I truly believe I am doing what God wants me to do for myself and for Him. I believe I am where He wants me to be and yes, at times it sucks and I want to go home but gosh He has been good you guys. So good. He is doing some crazy things and nothing could make me happier than bringing glory to His name.
Matt Carter grabbed my attention during the sermon I was listening to today when he talked about God having us leave the church to place us where He wants us to serve Him. I would say that God placed me about as far away from my comfort zone as He could and I am far from the church and from my sense of community. But He has been faithful and He is still guiding me every step of the way. Y'all God is good. His timing is excellent and His plans are beyond what we could ever imagine. Trust Him. Trust Him with your entire heart. He will not fail you.
"But many of those who heard the word came to believe and the number of men grew to about five thousand." - Acts 4:4
