It Really Is Too Cool

i am really blessed.....to work at the church. i believe with my heart of hearts He lifted me from a hell-hole and put where i am today, not necessarily because i deserve it, but that there is, in fact, something there for me "to do". and right now, i am just soaking up His peace and living in His zone, and i love it. and i think i have learned to be able to take that with me to whereever i go,,,,work, play, where ever. because it is very much worth it. i am so JOYFUL to know that He loves me that much....
yes, there are some ugly moments @ work....we are are people, dealing with people. but it is different because we are (and we know we are) forgiven and most everyone there forgives. some better than others, some, no most of us, are still learning....growing....stretching.
oh well, you say, you are "in church" 24/7. no i am not. i work 8 hours a day at a church. i participate in church, in a variety of ministries. and i reap the fellowship church provides. and i grow some more.
what is cool is that i have learned that "being in His presence" is where i want to be. whether it is at work...in church...or somewhere else. but no matter where, i want to be in His presence. i don't need anything more than Him.
Now writing about it, well even thinking about it, seems kind of simple, because He just welcomes me in with such wide open arms. you can fit in here too!
but sometimes the reality of the world flares up and we struggle a little more than we have to. mostly because of our own choices. i am going to share a video our youth group did a couple of weeks ago about "getting there". watch it, absorb it, enjoy it
