WORSHIP

Worship today was a beautiful extension of what the Lord has been speaking to me about lately...both in music and sermon. I loved what each of you had to say, Vonda and Ang...so real, from your heart, down to earth. I have been praying for so long that there would be more opportunities for Scott and those who are leading to really be able to share from their hearts so that people can just get peeks into the hearts of those who are in front of them. It connects us all together...it creates intimacy...it makes Jesus real. And I think it allows those in our BT family see that we go through the stuff of life just like them and celebrate and grieve and struggle...just like them. I'm just so thankful that you both got to share, even if in brief. It added so much.

Back to my first sentence...God is speaking to me...about boldness, about MAKING opportunities to have conversations with others about Jesus since I'm basically in a relatively tight bubble, etc. I long to see Bent Tree FULL of all kinds of "scary" people...who aren't the pretty North Dallas cookie cutter mold. I have such a heart for those people...and I do the driveby praying as well for people I see...but I sense God moving me to something more. Not sure what it looks like...but I am so aware of the need for others to come to know Him.

ANYwho...this service, along with stuff I heard last night, along with how God has been speaking to me since my repentance has put such a sense of urgency in me. And I am praying that I will act on this moving...it's scary to even write this.

Ok, gotta go...just wanted to say thanks for prompting my heart to go deeper with Him today! Love all of you, c

I so hated to miss Sunday! I will be listening to the sermon this week at some point. I KNOW my heart could have benefitted from the beautiful worship, as well, though. Love you all so very much!
