thoughts from the past sunday

I took four pages of notes on this sermon this past Sunday.. "Revelation Required" by Pastor Jonathan Neufeld
LISTEN TO IT. 


After church, Cathy and I talked for hours, remembering words God spoke to us in the past.. and it's so amazing how we're here together now. There was this one time maybe three or four years ago when a few of us were praying at a g12 meeting, and I got a picture of Cathy holding a bag of gifts. She was on her way to pass them out to children.. orphans. This was when I knew almost nothing about her and a lot less about myself. I remember sharing my picture with her and her crying, because she knew God saw her heart. And we're here together now.. serving children who are separated from their parents. (Cathy, it's sort of like the Heidi and Rolland and Rolland's mom thing, no? hahaha! not really.. but i know you and me were meant to be.. ;) ) So many of these words and dreams were so similar, tied together even.. writing, orphans, family, the healing we both need..
Like Pastor Jon said, God's name is Healer and His name is Provider.. That's His character, what comes most naturally to Him. I'm having to remind myself this when I can't see the point.. That He desires to increase us, to grow us, to prosper us always always always.
