Hope you had a great Monday today....I sure did!
I had the priveledge of being a part of a wedding proposal that was truly one of the sweetest moments I can recall in a long time. I cant go into the details (or who...yet...!..) but all I can say is kudos to these two, as they truly did "wait on the Lord" for their life-partner and were rewarded for their faith. Trust me,.....you will be blown away by this one when the 'news' comes out later this week! :)
Sunday night's service was fantastic. It was one of those Sundays where from the first note being played, the air is charged with God's Presence. Craig spoke on "flourishing" in the face of the soon return of Christ to the earth. Download the podcast from our website. It will bless you.
Another testimony: Cara Dufrene (Chris and Cara) was involved in an accident this morning where her van flipped numerous times. When you see the pictures, it is amazing and a "God-thing" that she was not seriously injured. By the way, if you dont know these guys, get to know them.....Mississippi folk....Hattiesburg, to be specific..... Cara's Crash
With all that said, both of these situations had me thinking about "faith", and how perseverance is so tied to faith. We often go through seasons where it seems like nothing is really happening. But then, as we just continue on in this faith journey, God shows up in striking fashion.
We just cant give up.
I received an incredible video clip from Scott Ongolo last week that came to mind as I wrote this. I hope you can open it, as this is a truly unforgettable story of a dog well-named....."Faith". May this poochie inspire you as he did me..
Have a great Tuesday.....and be encouraged: God really does care about you and will watch out for you....He is faithful to those who trust in Him.

Perfect! Thanks, PB, for putting that on your blog.
