Just do it.


How about a recap of the last few days, alrighty then, well let's start with a lesson I learned on Sunday.

Once upon a time in place far far away from his home land... Well maybe I won't be quite so dramatic. On Sunday, I was listed as a substitue for prophetic teams at the Bridge Church here in New London. I was quite relieved to just be a substitute because I really wasn't feeling the whole, being on a ministry team deal, especially not that day. Just before I left for church, Jon Bohy, who was supposed to be one of the team leaders asked if I could replace him, he wasn't going to church. So all of a sudden I went from not being on a team, to being the team leader! I had thought that I could handle being on a team, but to be the team leader was totally unexpected and quite frankly, not appreciated. So I complained a little, mostly to myself, then during worship, I got convicted for having such a poor attitude towards what I supposed to do that day. I realized that God had set me up. He knew that I didn't feel like being on a team, I didn't feel particularily holy that day and I didn't feel confident to lead a team. So I decided to bite the bullet and figured well, it must be God because I really don't feel like it, so He's going to have to do it all.

So after the service, when we broke up into our teams I was able to come with at least a good attitude, I still certainly didn't feel holy or very prophetic that morning. I was on a team with Danielle (South Carolina) and Matt (New Jersey) and it was just perfect. We had such a good team, everything flowed really easily. I found it so much different doing a team like this rather than in Salem. The words came so much easier, we didn't have to fight for it and interceed at the same time like we did in Salem. We had 5 people that day and it was just really good. God has a way of surprising you and pulling you through when you really really don't feel like it.

God really convicted me that day on my attitude towards doing what He wants. I thought I knew how to maintain a fairly decent attitude regardless of what I was doing, but I'm realizing more and more that our attitude is so often affected because we feel like God wants us to do things. But not really so, all he really wants is us to show up, He wants to do things through us. All God wanted me to do was to show up to what was asked of me, and then He would take me through the rest, I didn't have to worry, but if we are not going to have a good attitude or let Him do it, we can't expect it to go well.

This semester is drawing to a close, but the Lord is still doing big things, I can really feel an anticipation in my spirit for what's going to come next. I have no idea what's coming or what God wants to do in this last week, but I'm even really looking forward to when I go home, there's no reason for me to believe that God doesn't move just as much at home. It's easy to get caught up into a mindset that God moves more powerfully in an enviroment like this where there are so many prophetic people and people who are really going after God passionatly, but He wants to move just as powerfully right in your home.

Sorry I have to cut this short, I made a mistake on when we are going to leave this morning and I have to go make me a lunch in 5 minutes.

Until Later.
