"Wake Up"
I posted this comment on our pastor's blog, but I also decided to post it here. If you haven't read Pastor Brandon's blog, I strongly suggest that you do. Hang on to your fork and click this link: http://www.brandonnicewonger.com/
The other day God asked me to do something that I didn't want to do and didn't have time to do. I knew it would bring me closer to Him, but life was pulling me away. God said to me, "You promised to turn if I said turn." I LONG to be closer to Him; to be intimate with Him. I walked through it knowing that God was using me to help someone else. What a wonderful feeling! "The difference lies in me." Am I willing to be obedient? Thank you Lord for a church that guides and supports me so that I may be of maxium usefullness to You. To be in love with your church is a blessing. To be inspired to serve the Lord and those around you is more than I ever thought I would get from church. I can't believe there was a day that I came to church to sit and leave. If that is anyone out there, I pray that you will "wake up" and see the amazing life God has in store for you.
