what are you looking forward to?

 


What are you looking forward to? 


That is a tough question because I live always planning for the next event, the next trip, the next thing and more.  After what I planned for I often feel let down and even struggle.  But there is more to get ready for.


This past week was so full with our ladies at the Emmaus Walk, Raceway Ministries at the speedway and the Serve Tour mission trip in Virginia Beach.  All three of those were incredible and effective.  


But there is more ahead.  Like this weekend we have an outreach we are hosting.  The next week is a worship service, meal and kid’s Easter event at our church’s future campus.  Then the next week is Easter and Resurrection Sunday.  Wait, the following week I head back to Cuba for a mission trip.


Whew.  I need a break after all that.  I need a break before that.


But what am I looking forward to?  Thanks for asking.


I look forward to this … God changing more and more lives.  It never gets old to see and hear how God is changing someone’s life.  


The testimony of a close friend was awesome earlier this week.  Talking with some young adults last night about what God is doing in their lives left me so excited.  Another friend told me that he is ready to be baptized.


That is what I am looking forward to.  God is changing lives!


Titus 3:4-7  NLT  

But—When God our Savior revealed his kindness and love, 5 he saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit. 6 He generously poured out the Spirit upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior. 7 Because of his grace he made us right in his sight and gave us confidence that we will inherit eternal life.

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....
