We Have A Job To Do!
First of all, this weekend was crazy busy! But it was fun, and I learned a lot. It was cool to observe the Production Team at NewSpring, as well as the youth leaders at IGNITE. I'm starting to get some ideas about where I might be able to serve best in the Body. Still praying about it though, but I'm sure God will guide me where I need to be soon enough.
Anyway, if you missed the sermon on Sunday...you're a loser. (Just kidding) It was an awesome service. The band started up with "Marvelous Light" (I knew they would...just a "hunch") and then Perry had a great, inspiring message on where NewSpring is going to go in the next few years. We have a LOT of people that need Christ out there, and it's our job to do what we can to help people on a DAILY basis, as well as working with and through the Church.
One area of Anderson that I think needs a lot of spiritual and physical help is the neighborhood on the west side of town, mostly the area off of and around Market Street. With enough people, and enough love, and everyone showing by EXAMPLE how much Christ's LOVE is worth and what FAITH can do, I agree with Perry's assessment that Anderson could be changed in ONE generation. It's all about getting out of the box, out of the comfort zone, blazing the path for God to get out of heaven and INTO the people that need Him.
This weekend was one of great observation. While it's not good to just sit back and watch all the time, it is good to take note of all the things happening around you. It's good to look at the things you see and ponder about them and ask God about them.
I'm still pondering. If I have any good idees, I'll post 'em. For right now, I'm feeling tired and a little bit stretched, so I hope that wears off soon so I can tackle life again with all my strength. I had the feeling that more than one of us have felt this way recently. That it's difficult to make so many transitions, to open your heart so much, to be the best Christian you can be. It's tough stuff, kiddos. But it takes more than one to get the job done. Jesus has done his work, now it's our turn. As long as we give ALL to Him, He will be there to help us in our time of need.
Alrighty, I guess those are the "thought's o' the day". Everyone have a good one, and I've got you!
