Last night was crazy, lets just say heart burn took over my body and I really felt the enemy attacking. I have been sick for the last month it feels like. I woke up in the middle of the night just thinking "God take this from me! Heal me Lord, use your mighty power." And He gave me a few hours to sleep.
I went to a new church today, Southland Church International, and fell in love. Over the last year and a half I have been church hopping, trying to find one to call "home." This one is going to be my "home."
The message was on God's power of calling people to himself and the gospel. It was so beautiful and spirit driven. I loved the church because it was a beautiful balance of what church should be like: people abiding in Christ, being moved and in tune with the spirit, good teaching/theology, and community that was driven by Christ's love.
One of my favorite things that the Irish pastor said today was, "It is the love of Christ that controls me," I loved that.
God really spoke to me today, in a big way. One thing he has definitely showed me in the last few months of so is to get out of my American thinking and to not put him in a box or to put a formula to how he is going to work. God is big and mighty... and loves his children so very much. There were many eventful happenings at church today.
Another thing is that God has been teaching me more and more is surrender and to not take his death and resurrection for granted. Man, God is so good! That is all I can say. I am blown away by his love... time and time again.
