Last Night At Home

Tonight was my last night in Clayton N.C. for about 12 days! I'm leaving for Germany tomorrow. I made the blog so that I could keep in touch with all of you for the short time I was gone. It's also so that you can read, if you so wish to, about my trip, and my experiences. But I'm not going to use this particular entry to tell you about how much I'm going to miss you, because, well frankly, I'll see you in like 13 days.
Something I do want to share with you is tonight. First Wednesday may be my absolute favorite day ever. It is so unlike normal church service. We come together for one service as one congregation. And like Martha Fry said tonight, and what GOD's word says When two or more gather in his name, he his there. And man, was he there tonight, and every first Wednesday. I can feel his power, his love, his grace, breathing down my neck. He there, he's embracing us, and hes dancing with, and jumping with us. Tonight was an amazing time of Worship, and the message, like always, was powerful. The way we're not afraid to stand up, pray, kneel, jump, sing, scream, and woot when we want to, when we feel the presence of GOD telling us to, it amazes me.
We come together as more then a congergation, or a church, or a group, but we are family. We all come from different backgrounds, lifestyles, and situations, we all have our own problems and blessing. But we all have something in common. We are crazy, we are crazy for our father and heaven, and we don't care who knows. Paster Matt said tonight, you have to be willing to be a little crazy for GOD. Which coined the phrase for Rachel and I, Poco Loco. Which in Spanish means, of course, little crazy. The whole phrase would be "Poco Loco Para Cristo!"
But we need to make sure we are willing to be poco loco not just in church, but everywhere we go. Church, School, class, parking lots, Khols, Target, and of course Starbucks. You have to be willing to be loud, obnoxious, and crazy for Christ Jesus. You want the people around you to hear you, and know what you're doing. Those people need to want what we have, we have to make our faith appear to be fun to people looking in. Our faith does not appear to be fun to us, because it is awesome to us. But we are in the inside looking out, the people from the outside looking in need to see it too.

Well, I just thought I would share what was on my heart. I look forward to the next first Wednesday when we can maybe do this all again, and only about 6 of us know what all again means.

Ps: I don't think I have ever had so much fun at starbucks. It's moments like those that make all the fights, all the drama, all the everything that surrounds it worth is. I thank GOD every day for you guys, I hope you know that. I don't think you guys can ever understand how much you mean to me. I love you guys with all my being, and can't wait till we can do this non-stop when we all make to Heaven.
