“If you’re hanging on by a thread….. and it’s the hem of His garment, then you’re hanging onto the right thread.”
Bahahaha! I didn’t write that, but I am so receiving and claiming it anyway. That tiny little thread is powerful.
So I am indeed stretched a wee bit thin and I was thinking I needed some renewal, some refreshment, some good worship music. Hubby and I talked about going to a concert, but you know, like most things we just haven’t got the time, the money, the energy. I actually said on Monday, it would be really fun to go see “We are Messengers.” I really enjoy this little band and I’ve been delighting in “Maybe it’s Okay… if we’re not okay.”
Poof! Ask and you shall receive. You have not because you ask not. So just a couple days after talking to the Lord, I find out they are coming right to me. On my only day off. For free.
How in the heck did all that just happen?? It’s surreal. It’s the answer to a prayer.
So I went, met up with my daughter and the grandkids and had a blast. What fun! Not only was the music great, they said all the things I needed to hear. “Don’t confuse Jesus with people.” Amen! “Christians are messy.” Yep. Also, really sweet, he often credits his wife Heidi for forgiving him, with showing him what grace even looks like. I think we forget that sometimes, we forget that people cannot desire what they cannot see and it is our job to show them what the good things actually look like. To show them what Jesus looks like.
Just as a side note, on that same spot, on the 3rd of July in the midst of a big celebration, a man was shot and killed by the cops. It was very sad. We so needed to cleanse that area, to pour light and love over tragedy, to stake a claim on this world for Him. To remember that we fight from a place of victory, not towards it. It is a done deal.
Job says, “Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt?” Nope, it cannot. Life can be bit unsavory at times, we need our salt. And the Lord says, “taste and see that I am good.”

See, there's this thing called biology... 
Sounds like a winner all way around. Nice to have the “uppers.”

Amen. The Lord’s uppers are the best kind of all. Sometimes I have to remember to share them. We will often write about the things that frustrate or confuse us, and then nobody ever reports on the good news. 🙂

Amen! I love hearing about Godinstances like that. God is a miracle-working God, but some folks are too busy focusing inward on themselves and their problems to look out and see God moving in His Mighty Ways. God bless.

Seems God’s providence works things out. In this sin filled broken world, we need to be a light for Jesus. Also thanks for your comment on my blog about peace makers =)

God proves once again that He cares about every part of our lives. He was well aware you needed some music ministry to enjoy and be blessed by. He knows your working schedule and financial situation. Actually IB, I know you are aware, but God knew all that thousands of years ago, and His plan was all set in place. Then on that night, while still taking care of the rest of us, God sat on His throne smiling at you and your family.
Experiences like that are the best.
God’s Blessings.
