My Obnoxious Day
Let's face it...a good day is a good day, but when it follows a stream of bad days, and happens to be a really good day, it's even better. Today was one of those such days.
I got to pray with Becky Gribble this morning on the way to work. Together we asked God to be in today, I prayed for strength at work, and for God to use the time. And, God came through in huge ways. Probably because I have been so desparate for it...but anyway this is my day:
Three people from the Rock ate at McD's today (which means I got to see three encouraging faces)
I got to talk to my co-worker Vanessa about how she loves my roommates...apparently they are not only nice but funny as well. It's nice to hear someone praise people you love.
Two of the specifically rough situations at work were completely reversed.
And, I got to talk to all but one of my co-workers today about The Passion of the Christ. I was able to tell three of them that I believe Christ died on the cross for my sins, and the sins of the world, that He was raised to life, and that because He died I will be able to live with Him in eternity. (this was to my catholic boss, nominal christian co-worker, and a muslim co-worker) I got to explain my reasons for being "excited" about the movie.
I got in a random conversation with the other two about the movie (instigated by one of them) and got to talk about it some more.
Then, I came home...
Mara, Holly, Becky and I got coffee, and viisited Tammy at work. Then, we read the Bible together...though I WAS being obnoxious with my random outbursts. (I try SO hard not to talk.)
Then, I got to talk to Mandy Powers (she's a cool chick)
Then, I had life group...and it was awesome, 'cause the women in my life group are awesome.
And, I got to hang with my fellow ministry team leaders. We got to talk and pray about our upcoming spring break trip, and just share our lives.
Plus, I got to watch the Mel Gibson interview (thanks to videotape).
To cap it off, I am going to finish this blog, read a good book, and go to bed.
You know how some days of full, and they drag on? This wasn't one! It's just like everything kept building on the thing before to add up to one heck of an encouraging day.
I was thinking about Exodus 33, and the great comission and how God has given me this promise that He will be with me to the end of the age. But how much more powerful will His presence be in my life if I am truly desparate for it. I can't wait to get up tomorrow, pray expectantly and see what God does.
