Angela’s Thoughts

While so very excited about what God did yesterday in our service. Seeing many that entered our doors for the first time… Seeing arms outstretched and lives being changed… Today, my heart is so heavy. Heavy with the burden for souls. Souls that have walked through doors of churches and have not returned again. Souls that are afraid of commitment. Souls that are undecided as to what is Truth, or accepting that there is a Truth. Souls that are seeking… desiring that someone will show them the way. Souls that are hurting from past failures. Souls that are struggling even though they seem fine… within them there is a battle warring. Souls… even my own, that are asking… What more can I do?

I feel such an urgency… but at the same time a loss at what steps to take because there is so much to do, and so little time. I am amazed that at such a wonderful time of year, a time to worship the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords… that people seem to forget so much. They become so engrossed in the trimmings and trappings of the Holiday… Oh, Where is Christ?

My Jesus, I can’t live without You! I am awed at Your very presence that You allow us to dwell in… It brings desire and dreams rising to the surface, prompting me to move… to do… something! Lord, I pray that I can be all the I need to be for You. I pray that my life reflects You. I pray that those who are seeking will find You. Lord, I pray that the deception that many live with will fall as scales from their eyes… Let them see Truth. Let them desire You. Stir them to the deepest part of their heart. Oh, God! Let us desire after You, Your ways… Your will. And let us not be so caught up in the life around us that we forget the real meaning of this celebration.

What more can I do? Show me! Change my desires if they aren’t after You. Make me to wake up early to fall to my knees and seek Your face. Keep me constantly checking my spirit… and aligning myself with You. Lord, You are ALL I need. You! Jesus!

“I believe in the Big Bang theory; however, my definition of Big Bang is that when God spoke the words “Let There Be…”- His voice thundered time, space and light into existence in the combination we know as the Universe; the reverberation of that echo is what astronomers know as the cosmic microwave background.

And that , my friends, if you read all three of my status updates… is why God is awesome and we are just pretenders of greatness. Sure we are “echoes” of eden but…our Father is the source I love science and that it keeps pointing back to the God of Wonders.” – Julia Bucy, Facebook status updates.

I too love science and how time and again… it keeps proving that there is a God beyond our comprehension.  I’m fine with there being unanswered questions… His ways are higher than ours?  Would you really want to serve a God that you understood EVERYTHING about Him?  If so… where is the FAITH in that? 

Miracles happen because of FAITH and because of a God who will work in ways beyond our understanding!  For example, I had a cyst, it was surgically removed, and then it appeared again… my husband and I prayed that God would heal me because I did not want to face another painful surgery.   After we finished praying, we looked again, and my scar had just grew about 1/2 inch to an inch longer and the cyst was gone.  Do I need to understand how it happened?  No!  But it happened and I am thankful!  And to think, the God that created the heavens and the earth… also takes time to listen to my requests. 

I think I would rather live by FAITH and continue to watch what marvelous things my God will do!
