Wow - I could barely sleep last night with anticipation for today - 2 services - setup and breakdown. Some bit time serving going on! It is a lot of work but I know God is pleased with that and the effort that I am putting forth~the effort Carol is putting forth and the effort Kyle puts forth with sitting in 2 Sunday schools! I would have NEVER done that as a child. I would have been kicking and screaming - Craig and I did actually for a short time there. Sorry mom! You are pretty awesome Kyle!
Anyways - I want to share some of my notes with you because Jimmy had a great message this morning.
Jeremiah 29:11 – “For I know the plans that I have for you, ‘declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future.”
Ask God to reveal himself to you – while we search for God – God is also searching for us. Today most people are open to anything ~ except God. We have given up on finding God – when we seek God, He reveals himself in everything.
Look for biblical references..... in everything we do. Movies, music, newspaper and in the news.
Romans 12:2 (The Message)
Place Your Life Before God
1-2 So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.
The bible is written stories. God is not done with the story. He is still writing your story.
God wants to show us truth. We hang on by a thread because so many of us live our lives to things not solid and anchored in anything that lasts. See the world through God’s eyes.

It was a great day in church today. We had a few folks missing from our rock group tonight and hope to catch up with everyone next week. God is taking us places.... bringing some awesome people into our lives. Loving the plan that God is unfolding....
Love you all,
Randy~
