Is there anything worse than being blank.
There is just nothing there.
Its not that my mind is on Vacation.
Nor is it troubled.
Its just blank.
I can't write.
I can't read.
I even went home early yesterday to try and revive my mind.
Yet I am Blank.
Usually this is a sign of overload for me.
TMI (To Much Information)
TLR (To Little Rest)
TMP (To Much Pain)
and the worst one.
TLJ (To Little Jesus)
I think I'll go pray, I just hope I don't blank out on God.

Its just a piece of wood..............
....but its heavy. The Cross that some Christians bear.
You know, the one they pick up so that others may know Christ.
Like the singers who give up Tuesday night every week.
Leaving their families at home so that they can encourage yours on Sunday.
Like the Pianists who work so hard several days a week so that they don't miss a note to throw off your worship of God with a discordant sound.
Like the Sound Guys, who even though they just got out of the dentist, still high on life yet hurting in mouth, come to practice so that they would not let others down.
Like the guy who works graveyard yet drags his tired body to practice without complaint to fill the monitors with his deeply moved voice.
Its just a piece of wood, a piece of wood that bore their Savior.
and they bear it so that the whole world may know Him.
Its just a piece of wood, but to them, its all they have

Why is it............?
.....That just when you think you got things figured out, you realize you don't.
.....That just when you really understand, you realize you don't.
.....That just when you believe your old enough, you realize your not.
.....That just when you know what to do, you realize its wrong.
.....That just when things are going well, you realize their not.
No matter how old I get, why is it that no matter how hard I try to live my life in my own power and wisdom, I realize how much I need God to live the best life possible.
I NEED His Word.
I NEED to Pray.
I NEED the Church.
Why do I need to do these things?
Because God knows something that we don't want to admit.
We need Him and that there will never be a time or place to where we will not need Him.
I guess the better question would be why is it that I fight Him being in my life so much?
Why do I make it so hard to hear His word?
Why do I struggle so much in prayer?
Why do I make the church a problem and not a solution?

I was wrong again
This makes twice in my life that I was wrong. lol
I was not bummed from Sunday, but troubled as I felt that I didn't get the point across well. That maybe instead of God using my personality and person to share His truth, that my personality and person got in the way.
and so I blogged about it on Tuesday. And I was wrong
On Tuesday night I was talking to one of our church members whose been struggling in his faith life and has missed some church and he told me that he ran into one of the people who attended our services on Sunday.
This woman, who barely knows this family was a great encouragement. And her joy, and her excitement, and her love, came shining through so much that this man recognized that to have that type of loving person attend our church, that our church had become what he believed we were trying to become.
This woman, who is going through great difficulties herself, was sent on a mission by God, "for such a time as this"!
I love this Church!
I love that your proving my feelings wrong with your facts of faith.
I love that your living the word of God not being hearers only.
I love that Jesus is being shared by those who attend newLife.
I love being wrong!

Oh what a wonderful wonderful day!!!!!!
Just heard the news. A young woman by the name of Hanna trusted Christ as her savior Sunday!
How did it happen you ask?
Well, it was quite the process.
20 years ago Tim Clark Sr and His wife trusted Christ as their savior.
Their young son Tim came to church with them and learned about Christ and somewhere along the way Tim trusted Christ as His savior.
Yet Tim Jr like many of us fell away from God, then Tim Jr almost died in a car accident that turned Him around and brought Him back to God.
This he learned from His parents whose lives have been one trial after another yet never totally giving up on God either.
Because of this faithfulness to God, when Tim started dating Hanna it was just natural for her to come to Church because that's who the Clarks are.
After several weeks of coming to church and being moved by the testimony of the Clark's, the Love of newLife, and the word of God, Hanna trusted Christ as her savior.
Hanna's salvation was twenty years in the making.
and what makes this so significant is that she wasn't even born yet.
Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. Who else is out there waiting to feel our love to see His love to know His love who wasn't even born when you became a Christian?
