More Thoughts From Last Night...

Last night when I wanted to blog, Dad gave me a twenty minute limit so I had to keep it brief. And yes, that was brief! =D Anyway, just thought I'd go back and fill in a few details that I missed last night.

When Emmanuel, (the young man we talked with,) prayed for us he specifically asked for God to give us dreams, visions, poems, songs, books, and even movies! Seriously, how cool would that be? I love acting and and I would love for God to use that for His glory.

A big "theme" you could say was unity throughout the night. Joel talked about how coming back to town was kinda of weird because he had about two hundred friends spread throughout twenty different churches. He said, "I even have some friends in anti-church." I laughed so hard! What a funny way to put it. Anti-church. Anyway, he prayed that God would bring the churches in our area together and that the walls that divided us would be torn down.

Joseph said that he felt God was telling us to remember. To keep in mind the good things that He has done throughout the years. He talked about the Israelites briefly, about how you read a few chapters in the new testament and it feels like a few weeks but it was really a matter of years. And you think, if I had seen the red sea part I would remember. Then he said, "But if I saw the red sea part forty years ago...it might be hard to remember." He said that God isn't necessarily going to perform miracles every day, but we get to walk with Him every day. How cool is that? We get to walk with Him every day.

There were other things too that people spoke and prayed about, and anyone with a burden got to share. It was funny to me, because it was like "anti-church," in a church building in the sense that there was the same freedom to speak out that we have in Pastor Steve's living room. Except we actually got to do some worship with a real worship team! Haha. I think that's one of the biggest things that I miss about actually going to church. But we've started to branch out on that too now.

Once again, my blogging time is cut short. =( I'll write again later.
