Grateful

Tonite I feel the need to blog. Not sure why, but am compelled to write about the intensely personal God that I serve. Hopefully this will encourage someone along the way.
Sundays are a mixed day of emotions for me. We have to get up, get our stuff ready for our services, out the door, and pray that God blesses it and we experience Him in a supernatural way. Some services we are running late - try as we may, our week is filled with busyness and I feel like we can barely get out the door without forgetting something. But nonetheless we serve the church in the only way we can. Sometimes we fall flat on our faces, wondering who we offended and why people can't have grace enough to overlook our mistakes.
Anyways, I better get to my point. Sunday morning was one of those times I felt like we fell flat on our face. There were only 3 people in the service...and one left early - probably because the worship music was completely off key. I had a hard time hearing the key by our guitarist because he was singing too.
But it was one of those times where you want to go bury your head in the sand and cry because you think you are making an impact, then only 2 people show up!
Then there was the night service, and God in his grace, mercy & love showed up in the midst of the praise and worship time as well as the preaching of the Word. I sensed His Spirit so strongly that I just fell on my knees and worshipped Him.
I say all of this to say that my Jesus is so personal that He reaches down to our needs, and takes care of them. During the worship time, I just felt like the Lord was giving me a hug! He does things like that to let us know that He is not just a force or an ethereal being; but He cares for you and for me! He loves us deeply and intensely with a passion unlike any other.
Just my thoughts for the evening. Now I must go to sleep!
