WOW! Yeah God! This is good

I had a couple conversations this morning that left me in AWE.  I mean real, honest to God stuff that send chills down my spin and gave me goose bumps.  It was a "WOW! Yeah God! This is good" kind of moment.  By the way, we need more of the those.

The first was an email from a friend that I have been praying for and sharing with for a while.  They shared some breakthrough.  God has been working in their heart and in others around them.  They have found victory and some stuff to celebrate that is huge.  I mean big.  Though you don't know their names, would you pray for them?  God knows them well.

The second was in a phone conversation with Dave Ohlerking who leads Children's Cup.  Dave and Jean will be coming to visit The Community soon, and the things that I heard during that phone conversation blew me away.  God is in the business of blessing people, making ministries successful and doing more than we often expect.  What I heard (which I can't share...yet) was so exciting.  I have only known these folks for a short time.  But my heart is drawn to the kids they are serving in Africa.  Right now they are building a Dream Center in Mbekeweni, Swaziland.  A Dream Center is place where people have their dreams filled as their needs are met.  Children's Cup establishes Care Points where children, many of them orphans, are ministered to, taught and loved on by folks in Jesus' name.  Great stuff. 

It is heading toward the end of the week, and my mind is rolling with stuff that only God can do.  God is filling my dreams and filling me with dreams.  Know what fuels my dreams?  It is stuff like this.  Hearing stories about what God is doing and how lives are being changed. 

Let me give you one more.  Little Alyssa is almost 10 years old (she will be this month).  Her grandma met our church through Angel Tree ministry last Christmas, and the grandma met Jesus, asked him into her heart last February.  I had the great blessing of baptizing this precious lady last May.  Yesterday afternoon Aylssa asked Jesus into her heart.  One of those "angels rejoicing in heaven" kind of moments.  This is so good.  God is into changing lives.  

So, I want to give you these 3 stories to help you have some "WOW! Yeah God! This is good" kind of moments!  I love it ...

Luke 15:32 (nlt) --- We had to celebrate this happy day. For your brother was dead and has come back to life! He was lost, but now he is found!'"

Proverbs 11:10 (nlt) ---The whole city celebrates when the godly succeed;

Ephesians 3:20 (nlt) --- Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
