Revival...

Have you ever been in the midst of something and the only thing that you were able to say is aaaawwwwwwww as you realize your chin is dragging on the ground? I can honestly say that I am there now...

Now there have been some cool show, concerts, sporting events and man made thingy's that have made me oooh and aaahh, but what I am going to share now by far takes the cake...

It is this... God is moving... Wanna know how I know? People all over Grand Manan are being obedient and lives are changing... It is not an abnormal occurrence for many non church goers to attend my local church and get this... They want prayer for their lives, families, sicknesses, and many other issues... Some of them are actually deciding to follow Jesus and experience life with Him... IT IS AMAZING!!! Our youth group is growing on a weekly basis and the numbers are getting bigger too... So many kids, so many new commitments, so much change... Just tonite we had a plan and God directed our youth pastor in another direction and things went Godly from there... So many kids, so many commitments and prayers for an increased passion... Tears of conviction, joy and celebration... Then a good ole Jesus party!!!

Why do I say this? Am I bragging about my hometown? Not at all!!! I am bragging about my God... For so long I have seen drugs, alcohol and death be the norm here and there seems to be a wind of change blowing through and frankly, I would like for hurricane Jesus to stay... It is so amazing to see this happening and be a part of HIS work in it, but at the same time I want to encourage you that this is not exclusive to my hometown... God will move anywhere His followers are willing to take up their cross and follow Him... Does this guarantee comfort? Heck no, but who cares... If you ask me this past year and a half of pain and hurt was worth it to get this tiny glimpse of God at work and I can't wait to see how much greater it is going to be and I cannot wait to celebrate in it with my kids...
