I’m so glad he chooses people like us to help us, or else where would I be today?? I like to share the Good News with everyone I meet, even (I tend to be here alot) at Crest. Sometimes I just feel like someone need to hear that they’re loved today, and we all are… by God!! I wish I were more sensitive to the Spirit, but I keep praying and reading and one day I’ll get there. For now, even though I’m a babe in Christ myself, I’ll continue to share the love every day!!

Cornelius was a good man that worshipped God; however, he did not know the Good News of Jesus Christ. I believe if a person, as Cornelius, is genuinely seeking to know God, that God will provide a way. I pray that, as Peter, I will be His vessel in sharing the Good News.

Our God is certainly known as a God of the Great Flood, the Plagues on the nation of Egypt, the Parting of the Red Sea, the God of the thunder and lightning on Mount Sinai. But, this God is also the God who quietly works in the lives of people we have yet to meet. We each may have a Cornelius out there waiting for our word from the Lord. The Gospel pattern is for planting,watering and the harvest. The Holy Spirit convicts but it is up to human intervention to bring someone all the way to the cross and Christ. We each are important in the process whether we bring scripture, a good word, a helping hand or a sympathetic shoulder. Why has God, at this moment in time, brought us together, two sinners, one saved and one not? We only have to be real,authentic and open to the Spirit’s leading. But, as the Spirit is leading without he is also within making us able to meet his challenge. We, really, only need to obey.

Sometimes I can’t imagine that I can make a difference in someone’s life. At least not a profound difference. I feel I still have so much growth as a christian that I don’t have enough to share. I am trying to look for opportunities to share to word of God, but I’m either at church or home. I’m going to make more of an effort when I go grocery shopping and run errands. Maybe there will be someone out there that needs me, or that I need. Next time I feel like I should just say hello to someone, I will. I usually hold back because I don’t want to be the crazy lady at Wal-mart who talks to everyone. But I’ll be crazy about the word!!

Well, I’d like to say great minds think alike. However I’d have to walk many more miles to have a mind like yours.
I always think this way, I know that everything that I go through, every person I come in contact with is from God. I must choose what to do with that encounter. I had one just yesterday.
A woman I met awhile back keeps popping into my mind. I pray for her. She showed up yesterday while I was serving here at the church. I knew immediately, “God what do you want me to do for her”. As I walked her to her car, I shared our family here at Harrah Church, (our DNA). She seemed intrested. I did catch a moment when she arrived where she would not look at me, I think she thought I would judge her. Instead, God used me to show her His love for ALL people.
