Sunday Night Reflections

Well, it's time to wrap up an exceptional day! Looking back on this Lord's day a few things really stick out:

• The worship time in the first service this morning was a little different for me. I'm not too sure why, but while I was preaching I just felt like I was not connecting....then it happened. God just saturated me with a peace that said, "Hey, don't forget, this is for Me and My Word will penetrate hearts--and it did. God so spoke to people that have been struggling with hearing His voice in their decisions. Thank you for sharing with me how God speaks to you during worship times at NP.
  
• The second worship service was....well....stinkin awesome. As always NP's praise band rocks. They did extremely well in the 1st service, but the 2nd service...they were jammin, folks were praising, and my confidence in what God had already done encouraged me so much that I just "let go and let God."
• I met a new couple this morning that God is doing a work in and they have been longing for a place like NP.
• The interview time during the sermon with Jay about God communicating with he and Kim just cinched it all up.
• Today was my Mom's birthday and yesterday was my oldest niece's birthday. After the first service my dad came to my home and fired up the smoker. By 4:00pm we had near 15lbs of pork and grilled deer steaks. My whole family (and my buddy Bob Fry) ate and prepared for the Super Bowl.
• Oh yes, the Super Bowl. My youngest child, Haley was born in New Orleans while we were attending seminary there. We were all pulling for the Saints....Way to geaux Saints!!
• With the exception of not having Community Group, today was a great Sunday...but they all are. GOD IS SO GOOD TO ME, MY FAMILY, AND NP. THANK YOU LORD!
