Sunday fun

Today was a wonderful day! Church was amazing. God spoke to all of us in so many ways as well as intricately orchestrated every person to be there at that time and perfectly gave Jim a message to preach that fit everyone there.
Jim is a very relational pastor. Very conversational in his preaching. He asks questions and wants answers. This morning he gave an illustration then asked if any had their mother say "why did you do that?" Many people raised their hands and laughed. A young man, a visitor, raised his hand but something was different. Jim asked him to share his story and the young man went on to share that he had tried to commit suicide earlier this week and just got out of the hospital. Jim immediately walked to the young man, asked the church to surround him and we all prayed for this young man. An amazing moment to be a part of. God was truly moving. Jim's message was perfect. He talked about Psalms 103 and reminded us how important we are to God and how He doesn't focus on our sins. He forgives our sins.? What an amazing message for someone who has been saved 30 years or someone who is just learning who Christ is. I'm not usually a person who is extremely outgoing in my corporate worship but after church this morning I wanted to shout. God is so amazing.

After church we decided to take the boys to the mall to play. On the way out we checked the mail. Our tax return was in the mail! We weren't expecting it till the end of the month. We are so thankful for this blessing.

So we took the boys to the mall and to Chuck E Cheese to celebrate! They were so happy.
I just have to say how.amazing God has been to us. Lately He has been impressing on me about praying with faith. Not faith that He has the ability to do somwthing but faith that He will do what I ask.
It's always amazing to see God reward us when we do what He says. That doesn't mean that every time we obey He will reward us with a tamgable gift and He might not reward us immediately, but He will reward us. In His time.
