Day 4.

Had a small slip up today. lol.

My fast breaks down as such. Liquids only for the first week, meaning, I can have coffee in the morning and juice and whatnot. And before I golf on Tuesdays, I had decided to have a milkshake so-as to not pass out on the course.

Well, yesterday Beth and I were out and her and McKenna were eating dinner and she kinda convinced me to have an ice cream float…..I admit, it didn’t take that much convincing and I technically wasn’t breaking the rules….but man did I feel guilty! lol. I didn’t even finish the whole thing……..oh well, I ain’t perfect. (not that that is a news flash to anyone reading this)

We had 4th Wednesday last night…..we had a bit of a rough time as we did not have a chance to rehearse. However, I thought the worship part was great. It was refreshing to feel like I was back in the vein of God again. It wasn’t like it used to be, but it was still nice to know God was all over it. We actually had what I would call spontaneous celebration at one point which was a first since I have been the worship leader. I am praying the people are staring to “get it” finally…..though, I know it will still take some time.

God is beginning to move! Obviously, the quickest and easiest thing on my list for God to work in is our finances. And I can tell you God is beginning to move. We have unexpectedly received $1200 in the last two days. I hear about stories like this and am always like, “yeah right, how come that never happens to me?!” lol. Then it does happen and I am floored.

God is good.

    Dear Joe:

    This is something I feel moved to share with you..It might not make a lot of sense.. but it does to me anyway, so here goes..

    I admire you position in the body of Christ as a worship leader…God has gifted you with an extreme talent to lead people in worship through music and song….

    As you have probably figured out by now, I am a very private person but the other night @ 4W I stepped out of the booth, went into the back corner of the church and for the first time since I’ve been going to Crossroads really truly sang along and felt the experience… I felt God’s presence in an intimate way… With tears rolling down my cheeks, I thought this is AWESOME!!! With what I’m going through right now I really needed it!!

    See Joe…Pastors reach people to come to Christ through messages and teachings but what you do is equally important… When people (at least for me anyhow) hear spoken words they feel convicted ect…but through music and song they feel an emotional (spiritual) connection deep down with God.

    It reminds me of some verses in the book of John when Jesus asked Peter for the third time.. Simon, son of John, do you love me?. Peter was greived because he said for the third time, do you love me?” and he said to him “Lord you know everything, you know I love you.” Jesus said to him, Feed my sheep. (John 21.17 ESV).

    Joe…This is exacly what your doing!!!
