Overwhelmed

It is a word that I have used a lot in my Journal these days.  I could very easily say I am overwhelmed as a result of the journey I am planting a Church.  I could I am overwhelmed because I kids haven’t been sleeping or listening like Nicole and I hope.  But I am not overwhelmed with those things.

These days I am becoming more and more OVERWHELMED with how good my God is.  As I read the Scriptures (right now I am in Jeremiah) and live life I am how incredibly patient and loving God is to us.

I am overwhelmed with the idea that the God of the Bible practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth.  Jeremiah 9:24.  I am overwhelmed that He invites us to obey His voice so that it may be well us.

He is GOOD.  He is God. And with that I am overwhelmed that Jesus made away for you and I to experience the loving presence of God not just in the future but here and now.

 

Learning: Good, bad, and ugly.

The Good:  Lessons from Matt Chandlers two latest podcast.   Also heard Greg Steir live in DC.

The Bad: Today I asked God to reveal any sins from my past that I didn’t ask Him for forgiveness for.   We went way back.  I realized how much sin has affected my witness in the past.   The Bad turned good as it was refreshing to know that I am forgiven.  The hard part now comes in asking others to forgive me for sinning with or against them and asking others forgiveness because my sin did not show them who God is.

The Ugly:  I have been feeling like I should  talk to someone about something they were doing that was bothering me. Then today we were put in a pressure situation together and the feeling that I wanted to come out came out.  It was not the right time or place.  AAHH.  So much to learn.  Already asked for forgiveness.

Learning:  My lessons are coming in may different ways.  How about you?  What are you learning?
