We attended a wonderful service tonight at our Church Campgrounds. The same place I've shown a couple pictures of where the girls attend Youth Camp. There is an outdoor tabernacle where we have church. I have been attending there since I was a very little girl. Every year in July they have what we call Campmeeting. Which is a week of services in the outdoor tabernacle. I'll try to take a couple pics tomorrow night and show you. It is very rustic and most times it is very hot. We are in a cooler spell right now so, so far, it hasn't been too bad.
Anyway, they asked hubby and me (mostly I think they wanted him because he has a beautiful tenor voice) to join in and sing with the choir. We didn't get there early enough to practice, but we went up anyway. They sang some really old songs, so we knew them. It was so fun to get up there and just cut loose and sing. It was a blast. And to think I fussed and didn't want to do it. Thanks you guys for making me! hahaha
The speaker did an awesome job. One thing he said really stuck with me. I mean, we all know when we're born again that the Holy Spirit moves in and takes up residence in our heart. But tonight for some reason it just really struck me. We are filled with God, the creator of everything. He moves in and lives inside of us. How awesome is that, God is living in me!!!!!
Wow! How Amazing is that?!? I love it. I am filled up with God. "Lord, please remove me and fill me with more and more of you!! That is my true desire!"
Isn't that a great feeling when you are 'renewed'?
ReplyDeletePraise God!
It amazes me how His Word goes a little deeper and brings new meaning to our hearts -- sometimes when we least expect it. That's what I find so refreshing about the Bible. It never grows old.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you were blessed!
