I just tweeted this but I wanted to post it too…
Sitting here a few minutes ago, praying about the morning service, and the presence of God fell so tangibly and powerfully… right here in my (presently very unkempt) kitchen.
I’m sitting here totally undone.
I was already pumped UP for today’s service – we’ve spent much of the last two days at the church doing an outreach and the pastor’s birthday party – and we’re starting to see people come ALIVE. We think this morning’s service will be powerful and transformative.
So I’m sitting here praying and sipping at my coffee and suddenly I feel like I’m surrounded by His love and His glory and that He is right here with me. It’s like I can reach out and touch Him.
Suddenly I’m not so concerned with the Sunday school lesson, or makeup (thank goodness my hair’s already brushed), or anything else. But I just had to share. Can’t keep Him to myself.
BTW if anyone gets this before 10:30am eastern, Ken and I are teaching children’s Sunday School this morning (Daniel and the Lion’s Den). We’re not sure, post-halloween outreach, how many will show up today! We’ll do anything in the church from clean the toilets to working the nursery to preaching. We’ll even sing, tho we warn people first. But we also recognize that some things are in our area of anointing and gifting, and some aren’t. Children fall in the latter category… but we have a heart to reach them for Christ this morning. Pray for us
