I wish we'd have a special service to do that at Addington. I think it would be amazing. tag:jasonebenhack.com,2009-01-06:1684767 Anita 2009-01-06T23:27:11Z 2009-01-06T23:27:11Z Absolutely amazing! I, too, have had two experiences since Saturday that shows me that I serve a big God. He is working through me on our Women's Group. Shannon shared with me today how God amazingly used her this morning and had to opportunity to witness about God to someone. I just praise His name and bless Him for showing these marvelous miracles to us. tag:jasonebenhack.com,2008-12-29:1657572 Lisa Gilmore 2008-12-29T16:57:19Z 2008-12-29T16:57:19Z I Have already started. tag:jasonebenhack.com,2008-12-18:1630095 Anita 2008-12-19T00:30:58Z 2008-12-19T00:30:58Z That is a beautiful song. I was beginning to wonder if you were ever going to get around to posting again. So much going on during this season. Merry Christmas to you and your family. tag:jasonebenhack.com,2008-09-19:1376696 Anita 2008-09-19T17:25:04Z 2008-09-19T17:25:04Z Jason: Your message hits me between the eyes. I find myself going to church trying to slip in unseen and slip out before I get caught by someone because I sometimes feel that if I do get caught, they might ask me how things are and I might let down my guard and they might find out that I've had a really hard week and about at a breaking point and then I'll cry and, well, you know, I sure wouldn't want anyone to think my life was anything but perfect. I feel like my need for prayers are not "worthy" enough to mention because I sit at church with those who are dying and are so sick and have problems that seem so much worse than my own. So I try to tell myself to suck it up and be a big girl, it's not that bad. But to me, in my insides, it is. I need prayer. I try to protect my family by praying for them, yet it is so on-going all the time, I get so weary, just waiting for things to get better. I want to glory in the Lord every minute but it's just so against my human nature. I want back that hungering that I once had for the word, for His people, for serving. I am not sure how to fix it. I see some that just can't be happy with anything in the church and are so naggy and negative and that drags me down. Then I see those who are serving willingly, happily behind the scenes and that blesses me and encourages me. Please know that I do pray for you and Jeremy. You both are on my heart a lot, I just don't think to tell you. Yes, in many ways we are missing the boat just because we don't communicate. Thanks for your faith and your leadership and your eyes that see beyond what many of us don't. tag:jasonebenhack.com,2008-09-17:1370996 Lisa 2008-09-17T16:30:43Z 2008-09-17T16:30:43Z Jason, I have been feeling frustrated for a while with my failure to focus on why I go to church. It is so easy to get caught up in the "business" of going to church. Then we (or I) get burned out and want to completely retreat. I just finished reading a book that really spoke to me regarding this. I know "business" needs to be conducted for the church to survive, but how do we keep it from becoming our focus. I believe for me, it is much about our church moving from a small country church to a bigger church. And I know God wants our church to grow, but I miss the "country church" spirit, if that makes sense. I just feel so distracted and not able to truly worship. Now please do not misunderstand what I am saying, It is MY responsibility to be prepared, I do not think it is the Pastor, Youth Minister, Worship Leader, Sunday School Teacher, and the many others that play a part in making everything come together during worship times, those things are in place to add to my worship. So I am asking for prayer for myself. Prayer that I will be more prepared to worship God, and I a not talking about at ABC, I am talking about every day. Being able to see Him in my every day routine. Recognizing the small and large blessings He gives me. It is so easy to focus on the negatives of this world, and it is such a bad habit, and contagious. I have fell in this trap, and am desperately working to get out, I have found the only thing that helps is some "alone" time with GOD. It reminds me how many awesome things I take for granted. So right now, my focus is on one on one. Me and God. Please pray for me to stay faithful in that and not let businesses and negativity get in the way.
