As I looked around church during service and watched the manifested will of the Mighty God take place, I was overwhelmed. The beauty of renew, the miracle of repentence, so raw and pure that it makes me feel like I'm getting to get a glimps of the Glory of God. I felt like I was standing on the holy of holiness ground.
....and restoration....God is quick to keep His promises. I want there to be no misunderstanding between God and I, let it be known that I give the Glory to God, I love Him and I thank Him!
If I would have had any sense at all I would have found a place around the altar and lost myself in God at that moment. I will not settle for nothing less in my family than complete restoration.
Yesterday, as a family, we made a commitmet that today we would make it the very best day we possibly could. Drawing close to God and making Him proud. Tomorrow when we wake up, we will strive to do it all over again.
We have a job to do and we will do a large part of it as a family, working together, hand in hand.
Our job comes with a burden, it fill my heart and eyes with tears. You see, we work in the Oroville branch, our mission field. Our job comes with a name. It's Ashlee, Laurie, Larry, Brenda, Stephanie, Dwayne, Dr G, Jenifer, Darl, June, Julie..the names are never ending and they are real, they are crying themself to sleep at night, wondering why they are so empty inside, wondering if they will forever be so lonely, trying to figure out why no one loves them or why the person who said they did abused them. They are trying to figure out how to make it through tomorrow, or if tomorrow will be the day they quit. My job is filled with the people who at night lay in bed crying, "God, if Your real, if Your there, I need help"
Well, I've rambled to all who care to listen, but now I have to get to bed, because tomorrow I am going to work, I need to find Ashlee and tell her she's been on my mind, and Brenda and let her know if she can just grab ahold of Jesus things will be okay. Steph, I'm looking for you tomorrow, I need to tell you that yes, there is a better life. I need to remind Cassandra that God never took His hand off her and somewhere between all that my kids need to understand that next to God they are the most important treasure God has ever intrusted to me and I love them very much. And Trisha needs to know that I'll stand in for her mom if need be, she doesn't have to be afraid, we are there for her. It's time to get to work, peoples lives are depending on it!
