Happy Thursday!

Praying for DRY weather this Saturday and Sunday… so that nothing slows the anticipated stream of young people to the Waynesboro Park Amphitheater… for Re-Up 09! The wild thing is THIS: as of yesterday, weather man was calling for rain all weekend… and I told a group of people last night that I WAS BELIEVING GOD that we would look at the weather report this morning and it will have CHANGED! Guess what??? Not calling for rain on Saturday anymore! We do have a back up plan, but we really WANT to have this event OUTSIDE!

Gonna be a little CHILLY, so bring sweatshirts and blankets… everyone that’s coming!

Last night, we had to cancel the GO Outreach due to rain. And what could have been a real downer turned out to be one of our best WORSHIP services in a VERY long time! Aaron Huffer lead worship with just his keyboard… and WHAT A TIME WE HAD! Then for the message, I ended up teaching from yesterdays blog… oh, that was FUN!

.

Lately, I’ve noticed GOD doing so many good things for me and for the people dearest to me… too many beautiful things to list. It seems as if so many of my prayers are getting answered so PERFECTLY these days! Every time I pray for someone, something really HAPPENS! Not just a few of them… but MOST of them! The thought of this moves me this morning. How thankful I am.

For example, a few weeks ago… I went to the home of Jason and Lacy Hewitt. Jason had kidney stones so big, he was told they would NOT pass until they were broken up. So Jason and Lacy and baby Calli and I gathered in their kitchen… and we PRAYED for these stones to DISAPPEAR!

Jason went to his scheduled hospital appointment last week to have the stones broken up… and to their astonishment, the doctors could NOT find Jason Hewitt’s kidney stones.

These gigantic stones that were most definitely there just a week before- too large for him to pass without lithotripsy… they were not showing up on the scan! The doctors, so CERTAIN of their existence from Jason’s last examination… they ended up GOING IN with a scope to find them internally… and sure enough THE STONES WERE REALLY GONE!

Jason is going to tell the story himself on Sunday morning at Destiny Family Center. It seems like a REAL miracle. Thanks God!

For every ONE thing going wrong, there’s TEN things going right in our lives! What is God up to in your life these days? For a DAY, praise Him for carrying you in his arms! Try to LIST all of the good things HE’S DOING! And then ask yourself, “What can I offer the Lord for ALL he has done for me!”

Psalms 68:19 Praise the Lord; praise God our savior! For each day he CARRIES US in his arms.

Psalm 103:2 Let all that I am praise the Lord; may I NEVER FORGET the good things he does for me.

Psalm 116:12 What can I offer the Lord for all he has done for me?

If you get a sec… list a few of your blessings… and leave a few of your macro prayer requests… so we can see more and more GREAT THINGS happen is your amazing lives! Remember to dream big, live bold, and make a great big difference ALL DAY LONG!
