Monday Morning Thoughts...
A few thoughts that are rattling around in my brain...
- Felt good about yesterday. The second service went better than the first because I was a little more relaxed, and I was confident in what I had to say. Too often I feel tied to my notes, and in the 2nd service I didn't feel as tied to them. I think this made the second service a little better.
- Feeling pretty good after my three week stretch of teaching. Sure, there are some things I would change about each message, but I feel really good. I've really enjoyed crafting these messages. I wish they were a little more creative, but in order to do that I need more creative people around me!
- Need to spend some time working on otherpeoplematter.org.
- Need to get into a regular habit of working out again. I've realized that when I'm busy the first thing to go is exercise. This isn't good, because it's exercise that relaxes me and gives me some time to think.
- I was told after the service yesterday to really push people to come forward. Really challenge them to come forward to be filled! I don't know if this is me? Maybe it needs to be me? Maybe not? Frankly, I trust that God will move the people forward who he wants to move forward. I willing to change, but I'm just don't know if that is me?
- Plus, I don't really know if it's all about coming forward. God deals with people right where they are at. Now, I like it that we offer an opportunity for individuals to come forward to pray, but I don't think it's all about coming forward. Now, I'll probably be told that I'm not charismatic by saying that! Oh well!
- Looking forward to our cloud 9 retreat this weekend. Always a great time of worship and hanging out with teens.
- That's it for now!

I agree with you about God working in people right where there at, right in there seats! I remember when i was younger my pastor use to say if you want to get rid of this or if you want God to move come to the alter, but I use to be to shy so I remember thinking can't God just touch my life as I sit in my seat. I remember leaving telling God I want you to use me, is it ok that I didn't go up front? Well, God did over the years let me know he will touch me wherever I am at! Don't get me wrong nothing wrong with going to the alter, but there are some who are shy or to embaressed, but still want all God has for them! just my 2 cents :)
