All In
Greg’s sermon hit home for a lot of people. I’ve heard more people talking about it, and it has come up on facebook and in community groups. For a few years I have been wondering what God might have in mind for me now that my kids are grown and almost out of the house. I like to think that I am ready for whatever it is. But what if he just wants all of me doing what I’m doing now? If we’re doing God’s will, the mundane is just as important as the monumental. We just need to be open to taking the next step, so we don’t get too comfortable in our routines. “Lord, I pray that we would be ready to hear you when you speak to us. Ready to do your will.” All he really wants is our hearts and our devotion.

Wow just found this website. I didn’t have a clue this existed. I can totally relate in trying (let me say that again “trying”) to figure out what God would want me to do to please Him. If only he would put it in writing — oh wait a minute — I think it is? Isn’t it? Can we find it in scripture? There is so much there though. And I truly would like to know what it is that he would want from me. I know that His will for me is to try to be a good wife; a good mother to our three children; to stay close to him; to be around other Christians who have the same love and passion for Christ….but what about in dealing with the outside world? That’s where I have the trouble. That’s where I see him keep pointing me towards. Who knows….he has me working in a law firm….he has me surrounded by people that just don’t appreciate others….so then I would just rather run….but I won’t now. I will fight the good fight. Through years of struggles of trying to lead….I have figured out it’s not worth backing down anymore. So, guess what, I’m ready for His next challenge. It should be quite interesting to see where he takes me now. I can’t wait. I am so thankful for the community group I have been part of. It has given me deeper roots; something I have lacked for a while. Thank you Suncrest for taking a step of faith and starting Suncrest East. You are touching sooooo many lives. Even ones that have known Jesus for a while. I am so very thankful. God Bless you and all the work of those who made this happen. Keep up the great work.
