I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior in earnest on April 20, 2008. This blog was created to help me take better notice of all the good in the world. I give glory to God for it all.

All I am is Yours...

I really need to get to bed. I really need to do a lot of things, but the most responsible thing would be to go to bed. Some last minute web-surfing before I go back to work tomorrow led me to facebook, which led me to soul fire, which led me to my blog. I haven't blogged since our first Tiger game of the year and this weekend, we went to our third on Saturday. Great game by the way. It was nice to not be at a nail-biter with the Tigers ahead most of the game. The fireworks after the game were awesome. Once I placed my hands over Noah's ears, we were all able to settle down and watch the show.

We watch the show last night again, but this time at the Lanza's. We got as close as we have ever watched the Lapeer fireworks and I dare say it was the best ever.

Church was great too. I know some people just don't get into the worship much, and there are times where I don't feel I am worshiping as I should, but Sunday was awesome. Last time I was up in the video booth, the worship group sang the Stand, so I thought they might play it again just as a coincidence and they did. It's really great to watch from my vantage point above it all. When the song gets to:

"So I’ll stand
With arms high and heart abandoned
In awe of the One who gave it all"

so many people lift up their hands to God. For the second time ever (the first being the last time they did that song), so did I. I think I've gotten better at understanding the difference between my emotion and my worship, but it was still powerful stuff.

The sermon was equally wonderful. None of us are as grateful to what God has done for us or through us or for others. If we were, we'd spend a lot more time in prayer and worship. I really need to pray for that kind of dedication. While the sermon may be pointing out something we really need to work on, it strengthens my faith more than anything. That's going to happen when you know what you're hearing is The Truth.

What a great weekend with the family. So glad there are many more to come...
