Shhhhhhhhhh

Last Sunday’s service was based on how we as Christians are perceived by our actions.  The drama had 4 people sitting around a table and 1 waitress.  The people around the table were talking about topics dealing with their church, but when the waitress would try to communicate, the people were very rude, or just in their actions they would belittle her.  Then of course came time for the tip, they decided that she needed to work for it and did not think she had.  They left exact change and a bible tract. 

     People in the congregation laughed at this, I really don’t see the humour.  I actually felt like crying.  How many times have I set this kind of example in my life?  Were people laughing because it made them feel uncomfortable or are they laughing thinking about someone else is a fault, not them?

     I usually stand out in the lobby during the second service, It’s pretty cool how God brings people around in the lobby just to minister to me or allow me to minister to them.  God even works in the lobby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

     Well I’m out in the lobby and a man came to talk to me, he made sure I knew he was a marine!:-)  And he also is a master gardener.  He was very proud of these two facts.  He touched my heart!  I could feel God all around!!  He then asked me about myself, of course calling me sir cause of his marine background, I had told him a little about myself and my love for Jesus.  He told me about his love for Jesus and shared with me a story about what had happen to him, He was in a pretty bad car accident, He had one heck of a scar on his head and looked like he might have a plate or something in there.  I could tell he was child like, but what a great heart!  What Honesty!!!  What love!!!  He talked a little loud, but really who cares?  He shared he had had some addictions to drugs in the past and some other problems…Problems???hmmmmm, I think I have a few of those!!  He was very ashamed of smoking cigarettes and made sure I understood he was going to quit!! 

As he is sharing his story with me, a person that was just in the drama about treating people disrespectfully walked by, turned to us , put there finger to their mouth and with authority said, “SHHHHHHHHH”!  then walked into the auditorium.

     That kinda made me feel funny then, but I have been thinking and praying about this.  I tried to blow it off as stupidity, but I can’t, this person is a leader in our church.  I feel in my heart I need to take this to them, and I will.  I am scared, scared of what, I don’t know.  I could say I will trust God in this matter, but that statement would not be true.  I struggle with trusting God.  I know what ever the outcome is, it will be fulfilling Gods will and not mine!

Please pray for me.

JESUS COME SOON  (i’m tired)
