Where do I start?

Do you know how easy it would have been for me this morning to jump right in to my to do list...CAUSE IT IS LONG! I was on my way to the office this morning and thinking about what my next steps were...THEN IT HIT ME...If I am going to pray and pray and pray for God to change lives...If I am going to pray and pray and pray that God will blow us away with what he does through Soccer Camp and our services on Sunday...THEN I BETTER PRAY AND PRAY AND PRAY and thank him when he answers above all that we ask for!

So I did, I read Psalm 136 today and then made up my own Psalm 136. (NO, not to replace the old one, just something for me...don't worry I'm not adding to scripture!!)

Here is what I wrote...(hey, I'm not a poet, so just run with me here!)

Give thanks to our faithful God...
his love endures forever
For he is there through everything
his love endures forever
By his grace we have overcome
his love endures forever
For pulling us up from the muddy pit...
his love endures forever
For teaming me up with Grace
his love endures forever
For giving us a new, fresh DNA
his love endures forever
To God who always provides
his love endures forever
To the God who sold the old church at just the right moment
his love endures forever
To the God who brought Jerimae!
his love endures forever
For creating the world
his love endures forever
To the God who saved 100's through Soccer Camp
his love endures forever
To the God who has allowed us to see over 300 decisions for Christ in 2 1/2 years!
his love endures forever
For giving us breakthrough in marriages
his love endures forever
To the God sho has sent us down the river (and that's a good thing!)
his love endures forever
For God's breakthrough in Andre and Lisa THIS WEEK
his love endures forever
For 120+ decisions for Christ at Camp
his love endures forever
For allowing us to be on the front-lines of ministry
his love endures forever
For 9 BAPTISMS on Sunday
his love endures forever
For our largest non-holiday Sunday EVER
his love endures forever
For the most amazing group of people to LIVE church with
his love endures forever

"Thanks God for all that you are doing through YOUR imperfect, BUT redeemed people! I love you!"
