I had a headache all day long today. I never get headaches so that means only one thing… I must be under stress. Which I am. Mainly because of work � considering the fact that I have a magazine to finish, an office to move to another building and set back up, and about 756 other jobs that I have to get finished, not to mention year end budgets and reporting…
At any rate, I decided that a good course of action would be to go up to the Camp tonight. It was awesome. God was definitely present. It is so cool to walk into a room and people are happy to see you there. I love Bob Deering. He is such a passionate man of God. Every time he sees me he gives me a hug and tells me that he is glad to see me. I watched him walk around the room and speak to everyone present. It is so refreshing to see such a down-to-earth servant-leader who is being used by God in such a great way. God has big plans for this place, and Satan, you had better watch out, because there is a move coming that you can not stop. The power and authority of Jesus Christ is behind it full force. Christians � please keep Voice Ministries in your prayers.
The worship was amazing.. one of my favorite songs � “Closer” they just went off on this awesome jazz/swing/rock jam… it rocked! It was like old times again, there in the garage. After Corey spoke for a few minutes, we did this other song which ended up lasting for a half hour or so � “The Warrior’s Call to Praise.” Then I was gonna leave after that as it was 9:15, but I decided to wait for Dave to get there and so I went back in and part of the band was still playing. Mike Kyle was playing keys and Mike Johnson was on guitar and flute. People were just standing there praying and worshipping and Bob was reading scripture and encouragements. It was a time that I needed to just sit there and pray. Sometimes God just calls you to abandon your plans and schedule and just stop for a while. And as always, He was right because it was something I needed to do.
Jesus Christ is. He is everything that I possibly need. Finances? He is. Love? He is. Strength? He is. Creativity? He is. Time? He is. I sit here wondering why it is that I first do not go to The Solution for any problem that exists. I sit here wondering why it is that despite the fact that I long to know Him, it is so difficult for me to make the time to get to know Him. God, you are so patient with me. You love me despite my failings. You eternity blows my mind. My feeble attempts to grasp even a piece of what you are show me that your ways are so much higher than I can ever imagine, yet you stopped and gave up all your power and wisdom and limitlessness … for me, so that I might come to know you. Thank you Lord for your patience with me. Thank you for showing yourself again and again to me. Thank you for the cross and for what you did for me. Your name be eternally praised.
By the way… my headache is gone.
