"What have you been up to lately?" I was asked this question the other day. I responded that I have just been home with the girls. We all know what a full time job this is but it got me thinking, SO much is going on right now, but I couldn't exactly tell you what!
All I know is, GOD is up to something GREAT!
Our church has just received a HUGE miracle! Another big church called Valley Cathedral has just handed us their property, DEBT FREE!!! It is at least 3X bigger than ours. The story of how our church began 5 1/2 years ago and has gone from 150 people to approx. 2,000-2,500 people in such a short amount of time is really unheard of and is miraculous. Within the last 3 years approx 40 outreaches have started and every day many people are coming to know Jesus through these outreaches! We have busted at the seams in our already huge building that we are in so this building that was handed to us is a HUGE ANSWER TO PRAYER! Our congregations are joining together in unity. They needed LIFE in their church and we needed the SPACE they owned!
GOD IS SO FAITHFUL!!!
God is also doing something inside of me! I have been going through something very personal the past 2 1/2 years and it is something that only Jesus could help me through. I have spent many minutes during my day and night praying and reading His Word and crying out to HIM...and the Lord has taught me through this to stand on His Word no matter what my emotions are saying.My joy has increased IMMENSELY! He also has taught me a better way to deal with anxiety-Pray about EVERYTHING, Worry about NOTHING and then after that, TRUST HIM AT ALL TIMES!
I know there are many negative things going on in the world right now and the world CHOOSES to focus on the negative. But in all reality, there is MORE positive happening than negative...but it is our choice what we focus on.
This is a NEW season! If you are going through something very personal or just plain going through something difficult, I am telling you, NOTHING is too big for our GOD! But we must have an attitude of expectancy and perseverance! We have to be determined to stick with God NO MATTER what! He longs to bless His children in very personal ways and show us how He cares for us! He truly is our DELIVERER, our SHELTER, our FAITHFUL FRIEND that will NEVER FORSAKE US!
GREAT THINGS ARE HAPPENING AND GOD WANTS YOU TO BE APART OF IT!
