I made it to church tonight. I know that seems lame and trivial. Of course I would be at church on a Wednesday night, right? Well, I'd be a liar if I didn't admit that skipping tonight crossed my mind a multitude of times. It is so true that when you skip once it is so much harder to come back the next time. I suppose that is why in the 6 years I have been going, this past weekend was the first time I actively chose to skip church.
Of course, God, true to form, put the exact message I needed to hear tonight on my pastor's heart. Grrrreeeaaaattttt!
He spoke about how we can't let things distract and dissuade us from walking out God's plan for our lives. Every single scripture he quoted just drove it home. I will admit that I pretty much just wanted to cry and tell the Lord how sorry I was for ditching His party Sunday. I know He understands, but I know I hurt Him too. It was really difficult to get up and pray with people but I pretty much did not have an option as there were only two of us there for ministry team tonight.
We prayed with one guy for his hand, it didn't get healed. We prayed again and it still didn't get better. Bummer... I'm just saying...
I know it isn't because I have been in a really relationship poor place lately, because God's healing power is not dependent on me. THANK GOD!
It is still a bummer though.
I was asked to fill in for the healing rooms tomorrow night, I am so not feeling it, but I am going to anyway in spite of how I feel, because I know that God wants to heal people because He loves them. Oh, yeah, Pastor preached on that tonight too. Doing what you know to do even, and especially, when you don't necessarily want to.
Jesus, I love You. Thanks for Never Giving Up on Me!
