God chats

I do love the way God seemingly has conversations with you in multiple parts.

Saturday night, Debbie and I were having a [rather late night] chat about prayer, stages of life, and God saying yes and no in different ways. Last night, b preached a pretty tops sermon indeed. And the cool bit was that what he was saying followed on almost directly from what I had been saying only 18 hours earlier. Very awesome indeed.

And it all followed on beautifully from what Deano had preached on a week ago - on how we should pray in a submissive way, rather than just expect things and ask for things. It’s just really caused me to rethink how I pray, and my view of God in how he listens to us and responds. It’s all been very encouraging.

Last night was a pretty ripper night for music too. I had an absolute ball playing keys with the boys. We played Mighty To Save only for the second time in the service… but by the time we got to it in practice, we were playing very much together, and so it was quite easy to just chat about structure and order, and then just nail it pretty much from the first time through. It was oh-so loud… but that translates to oh-so fun sometimes ;)

And the preacher enjoyed it, so that’s a plus too!

Pretty quiet at work today. Need to start finding more sales opportunities to work on so I don’t get bored. Looking forward to dinner with parentals and Debbie tonight.
