It has been three sweet little months of fellowshipping in our home. It has been exciting, scary, humbling, refining, the list goes on and I know it will continue. Who knew? I love how God seems to continue to speak to us through His word, through his servants, and nudgings of the Holy Spirit. He is so ALIVE!
As my husband and I laid in bed and prayed it was easy for me to so subtly suggest maybe we just need to round up some people and join another local church??? Why did I even ask this? We all know hosting week after week can become draining. Don't forget this is a house church, house as in my home. NO problem with it except when I clean up after my two little tornadoes, for the who knows how many times that morning, 20 minutes before church starts. Oh man! Am I complaining again??? Geesh! I am so sinful! Really who am I to complain? When Paul, Epaphroditus, Barnabas, and all of the other servants of the Lord faced death? Really? Toys in a toy room? Woe is me!
I love how my husband teaches out of Gods word. He is real, he doesn't try to sugar coat, he delivers Gods word. I respect him for it. We all have our good days and bad. We all shine brighter on some days more than others but he is the first to admit where he needs refining and a little more shaping. Not to say he's done bad. As a matter of fact last Sunday may have been one of the best sermons I've heard, not just from him but on the top 10 list. I love him for what he does, how hard he works, and how devoted to the Lord our God he is. Praise God the Father for knowing our best interests and leading us there.
I am reminded that God didn't call us to be comfortable. Who am I, again I have to ask!? I am reminded that we are "but a vapor" James 4:14 My life is only called into existence by God to be made like Him so that others may know Him and He be glorified. That's the humbling part for sure.
Lord lead us, guide us, "teach us to number our days aright" (Ps. 90:12). Thank you Father for all of your blessings on this side of heaven and in the heavenlies. And as the song goes...Here's my heart Lord take and seal it for thy courts above...
So glad to be able to share this journey with you!
