One True God

I don't even know where to start talking about this weekend, I do know that God showed up.  There were about 20 people that went and we were on no structured schedule.  We wanted God to determine what happened when we all got together.  Sat. morning I got up and went to the beach to watch the sunrise with 2 other people, and it was amazing.  It was cold but we got coffee to help warm us up and there's nothing like being in a quiet place reflecting on God, His creation and His Word.  Later that morning, we all got together in a small room and started singing some songs and praying and letting God move.  Sat. night we all got together again and did the same thing-we prayed and sung from 8:30/9:00 until 12:30!   When you allow God to do what he wants in a place, the results are incredible; there were 20 people all praying out loud, praying different prayers, laying on the floor, sitting in chairs, praying over others; Louisa, Liz, and Tiffany from the leadership team all felt led to pray for me and everything they said was accurate, spoke to my heart, encouraged me, and challenged me; God was speaking through them.  I've moved into a different place in my relationship with God after this weekend-He is ALL I need.  He is a powerful God, he parted the Red Sea in the old testament and He can do that today; he made the blind see, the deaf hear, the mute talk and He can do that today; the power has not disappeared.  God is still doing work in me, and I know that He is not finished (which excites me!).  And Satan has no place here despite the fact that he's going to do everything he can to get us off track because he is TICKED off. 

A verse that I read while on the beach Sat. morning was Jeremiah 29:11-13: "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.  Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.  You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."  I felt convicted when I read verse 13 because I realized that God didn't have all of my heart.  He is earnestly running after my heart and I need to be earnestly seeking his heart too; that's what it's all about.  

So, Nancy we definitely did ALOT of praying, and there is incredible power in it.  Myrtle Beach is definitely different from the OBX-the beach is very wide and the sand is fine; we had fun playing football for 3 hours there Sat. afternoon.  We also made a trip to Planet Hollywood to eat at Margaritaville which was an adventure in itself :) 

I will keep sharing about what God is doing at Daystar, in the college ministry, and in Greensboro, because it's a testament to God's power and the truth that He's the one true God.
