You said there would be days like this

This morning was weird. Kids first day back to school, my first da making sure all the lights were off and dog (uups forgot to kennel her). Off to work and for some reason everything reminded me of Regina today. I am sitting at work trying to concentrate on what I am doing to little evail. I took a break to write this out get it off of my mind. My pastor warned me of days like this and that for no apparant reason I would be in a funk and as long as I kept my eyes in His Word and my "quiet time" with Him they would be easier. It does make it easier.

I was reading through Philippians and Paul was telling Christians that, "He who began a good work in you would be faithful to complete it."
(Phil 1:6) also applies to the fact that anything He brings to us, He will go through it with us so as we can rely on Him to help. This also re-enforces Philippians 2:12-18 on working out our faith. You see all of this is building and strengthening my faith in Christ, that if I had not gone through this I would not have the blessing of seeing how faithful God is. That so many of you have come along side of me and encouraged me to push on and keep the faith. I get to see to see the "New Testament Church" be what it is supposed to be. For example, there were many that came to the service for Regina that were unchurched, semi-churched, churched, believer, non-believer and even uncatagorized people. The one thing that was said to me above all else is that this was the "Best Service I've ever attended you have a wonderful church here." Amen. Pastor Nathan has told us time and time again that, "church is were you are", and as we go we don't show people a building, they see us and we are the church. So, you see we are supposed to be out there in the field sharing Christ (See this http://nathanlino.blogspot.com/ ) through our actions and our chance meetings. "Ammo up" and listen to the Holy Spirit as you are led.

I feel better already. I am recovering well from the gallbladder removal last Wednesday, thank you for your prayers. I also want to ask you to pray for the Dale Day as he is praying to live but preparing to die from cancer. Dale is secure in the fact that one day soon he will be face to face with Jesus but if it is His will to save him. I am going over today to visit with them and ask God to give me the words that He wants them to hear. Thank you

God Bless
