This has happened to me many times in my life, but each time it happens? I jump.. it hits me like it is happening for the first time.. I have proof too! Last night I was talking to a friend that is going through a lot. I said to them.. This is happening for you to be really strong and radiate. Some friends I have that are going through something, remind me of 1 Peter 1-7. It is one of my favorite verses. And when you are going through something? That you think is really hard? It is like .. Growing into your Shoes. I reminded this person how I was yeas ago.. was ready for a nervous break down.. :-).. and how circumstances .. as hard as they were.. made me stronger. Now? (And trust me Alex and I have been going through a lot) We get through it.. And it isnt like it is nothing but we have been made stronger by what we have experienced in the past.Well.. guess what came out in church today? GROW!! If you are going through something that seems really hard? God wants you to grow! He wants you to radiate that growth! He knows you can do it! AND YOU WILL!! He gives it to us and says GROW! I know you can do this! I want you stronger!! THEN? He talked about planting a garden!!! How he threw some seeds down. Did nothing to them.. for days it rained and they GREW! (Remember my status about my garden? They were determined to grow! Just like us! Be determined and you WILL GROW and God is right there with you! Be joyful in that growth!! Then he talked about I do not ask for Earthy Store.. beyond a days supply.. I only covet more and more the clear and single eye.. (I know I am messing it up. memory.. ) To see my duty face to face! And ask the Lord for daily grace.. Then shall my heart keep singing while to the cross I cling..(that part always makes me cry) Keep clinging and singing!! Be JOYFUL in your cross (All came out in service) God will get you through it! So GROW!! Now.. if you read this far.. (just read somewhere how the short status get attention and people dont usually read long status ha) Again.. and again.. This is why I love church. I have said this over and over again.. it doesnt matter where you go. It is just a building. Jesus had a Sermon on a Mountain and people traveled all around to hear him. Focus on what the service does for your soul. AND.. I have heard a few times about this circumstance or that circumstance etc not getting anything from service. I had that thought once.. and it was on Wednesday night. I didnt get anything. Between working and not connecting to the servant? I was thinking it was a waste of time.. so I prayed. Remember God can do anything! Even speak through a bush if it wants to! The Apostle Fendt (high minister in my faith came to hold a service. He said.. We prepare for a Chief Apostle Service for a year.. praying, getting everything ready etc.. If you prepare for a Wednesday night service like you do a Chief Apostle Service? You will get a Chief Apostle Service every Wednesday It hit me.. I wasnt doing that. Actually to be frank? I dragged my feet to go.. Already had in it my head I wasnt going to get anything..So we prepared. Changed our way of thinking..We shut off the radio on the way to church. We prayed before we left. In the car we talked about spiritual things.. Then ya want to know something? Every Wednesday for about a month word for word things Alex and I talked about came out in service. And it taught me.. You get what you ask and prepare for! God can speak through anyone and anything.. He is powerful like that! :-) You want an experience of faith? You will.. but we have to put the effort in...
