I am thankful...

for a pastor who is sensitive to the Lord and His will. Sunday morning started as usual. But it all changed after the "meet and greet". You could feel the Lord's presence. I can normally feel it during the music (at least during one song) but this time it was heavy. Bro Todd knew that God was up to something and he decided to have invitation instead of waiting until the end of the service. Two people came forward and accepted Christ as their Savior and one confessed publicly that she had been saved earlier that week. Another came forward and announced that she wanted to rededicate her life to the Lord. It was amazing! It's always amazing to see God at work in others' lives b/c it reminds you that He is always working. Whether you want to see it or not. He is working. The service continued and Bro Todd put a pause to the sermon he had prepared. It's nice to know that he is listening and that he knows that God is in charge - unlike so many churches today who will follow their own plans instead of the Lord's plan. After an exhausting Friday and Saturday: with the dad-in-law in and out of the hospital, attending great-uncle-in-law's funeral, and the fun at my mom's ... then the not so fun at my mom's... it was very uplifting.
