Wow! What an evening. Tonight was "Original" night at church. Original is the women's ministry at Rockford First. It was a wonderful evening of worship, teaching and fellowship. I love the Lord with all my heart, but sometimes (ok, more often than not), I decide to try and do things MY way. I think that my timing is better and my ideas are best. And then, times like tonight occur.
I am thankful beyond words that I don't have to do things my way, and when I try, God loves me anyway. I serve a mighty God who loves me for me. He yearns to transform my mind and heart. Without God, I'd be lost. I am thankful for a church that exists to build up a body of people that live for Christ. I am thankful for wonderful pastors who speak the truth. I am thankful for friends at church who encourage me, listen and pray.
I am blessed to feel the love of God. His only son gave His life so that I may live. That is profound. My prayer is that I live each day in such a way that is pleasing to God. There is no fear of having to be perfect, only the prayer that every day is spent living out His plan for me.
God created me for a purpose. He made me original.
