Jesus Loves Me More Than I Love Him!
I set here at midnight (have to be up at 5am) and cant sleep. Jacob and I just got back a while ago from The movies. He is laying here beside me. Tami and Luke are over at her cousins house. So, here I am setting up in bed, watching my stuck up cat stare at me! LOL
On the way home from the movies tonight I was listening to some classic Hillsong worship. The song that spoke to me was "unfailing Love"
The truth is , jesus loves me more than I love Him!
Think about that - NO MATTER WHERE YOU HAVE BEEN, WHAT YOU HAVE DONE, WHAT YOU WILL EVER DO, Jesus loves you with a perfect love!
If you are alive, love Him back
If you are dead, and in Him, you will love Him back
If you have a car, love him
Legs, love Him
Shoes, Love Him
Food, Love Him
So I guess I have a two folded prayer for tonight. 1. PLEASE LET ME GET A VERY GOOD NIGHT OF SLEEP 2. HELP ME TO CATCH A GLIMPSE OF YOUR LOVE AND REACT TO IT LIKE YOU HAVE SNATCHED ME FROM THE FIRE.
Remember, He loves you unconditionally, without one single blemish. He is proud of you and wants to shine through you. Smile, laugh, cry...... Love Him. Just a Thought.....

New Journey
So, I set, in obedience to God. Listening. Waiting. Wondering. I know where I am on the map. I just don't know exactly what direction I am taking, yet. For the first time in almost 12 years of being a pastor that "chunk" of thinking is at a pause.
So, for the several months I am just going to listen for the voice of God. I will take time with my family like I haven't in a long time.
This is going to be strange, yet fun! I am going to just breathe and look at the map and move when God says move and stand still when he says so. In other words I just might be predictability unpredictable. I will speak at different Churches in the future. Help younger ministers in the future and continue my education in the future to be a certified teacher in the public schools. Unless, of course God says something else. All I know is the adventure has began, and I am going to do my best to remain obedient in it!

memories in a box
Well, for the last few days I have been packing up my office. Wow, ten years worth of stuff. A bunch of memories that i will never let go of, well the good ones anyway :)
This weekend will be the end of the season as pastors of CPC. However, the seed, memories and lives that God touched. The memories that are in the box are...... books, pictures, plaque's, notes, meeting notes, seminar and conference notes, gifts that people gave me, etc...
Wow, I looked at that tangible stuff and began to think of the intangibles. Like the time the man walked up to me and said on my first Sunday as pastor, "Son, you have got your work cut out for ya here!" or the time that we did not have anyone to lead the "song service" so me Jimbo (on guitar), Lance (on the piano) and me (lead Singer) learned a new song or two and sang them to Jesus as he came into the place!
I remember the time a lady stood up put her fingers in her ears and said that she will NOT sing that new music!! LOL
Or the the time that Sister Helen lost her son to suicide. out of that tragedy came an amazing move of God as her whole family came to Christ.
I remember a bunch of ups and a few downs.
I remember when Jody Merrit (Evans) at the time, came into the Church with their whole family. Jody had lost her son in a tragic death. I witnessed her and her family come to Christ in a very powerful way!
I remember when I was running late for a funeral so pastor Brady and Pastor Jeff stalled until I got there in the nick of time!
Wow, I could go On and on.
How about you? Do you keep your memories in a box? I know, i know :if your memories are bigger than your vision" then you are in trouble.
I like to call the memories, "faith files".
How about you?
Do you have any faith files?
Dont keep them in a box.
