It was a heavy message this weekend from 1 Peter 2. I had some good feedback and questions that I hope to tackle on my blog here sometime soon. This time, I just wanted to share the stories.
Sat PM -
What stands out by a mile is Josh sharing a song he wrote with us. Dan was able to record it, and did a rough mix, and sent me a clip to put on my blog. It's called "I Love God".
Let me go on a little riff here. The Psalmist said "He put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God..." I think there should e a continual flow of new songs. I think God wants to give new songs an I think we are blessed when we receive them and sing them to God. Not all of them other people will enjoy, but what a beautiful thing to sing, songs that God gave. "He put a new song in my mouth."
What made that even more meaningful is when Josh's mother stood up and shared that she was a happy atheist growing up, but God came into her life an now she's an even happier person. And now her son is leading others in the worship of God with a song called "I Love God"
Yeah, that stands out by a mile.
Sun am -
I'm really encouraged by what's happening in Sundays. We are a small group, but there is some sweet times of worship and sharing. Love is in the room and grace is being poured out.
Gen -
Gen was at Greenbelt Baptist on Sunday am leading worship for them with her friend Amy. From all I could tell it went well. She really enjoyed their guest speaker Mike Reed who is the son of Rick Reed who pastors The Met here in Ottawa.
One lady came up to her at the end and wanted to know who wrote the last song in worship. She was so moved by the words and melody she was crying. After she found out that Gen had written it, she wanted to know if she had put it on a CD yet! She was really cute. This is why I'm so glad that Gen has been able to record. This lady will be ministered to by that song and hopefully others for a long time.
So, there you go... the Holy Spirit at work all around... we're blessed!
