"Lord... give me the gift of faith to be renewed and shared with others each day. Teach me to live this moment only, looking neither to the past with regret, nor the future with apprehension. Let love be my aim and my life a prayer." ~Roseann Alexander-Isham

Interesting

GOD is awesome. This morning's message was about connecting and community. Oh, and I should add that many chapters from "Sex God" by Rob Bell prompted many of the ideas in the Pastor's message.

So coincidence that GOD would have me read this book now and that this idea of being connected and community would be playing such a large part of my daily thoughts?

I don't think so. I think it is just GOD speaking and moving the way HE does. PRAISE JESUS!

The only other interesting part was how tears continued to flow from my eyes at different times throughout the morning. Tears that I have no explanation for. Seriously, I don't know why the tears were flowing from my eyes.

Though it did get me to think about some other times in my life when I have felt I cried for no reason, like Summer Jubilee 1997. During that time and the couple of others when it has happened it was revealed that the tears were GOD preparing my heart for something. Whether that was a word from HIM, or something else. Those tears have been a way of preparation. So maybe this is GOD preparing me for something that is to come around the corner on my path.

In last week's message, Ron spoke about how a traditional Jewish wedding's preparation of the past. How he used that in his message, would go along with this thought. He is on a three week series...........makes me look forward to the third message in the series next week.
