Our old church has assimilated with another local congregation (including our Pastor who will serve as interim). The details were worked out over the past 7-8 weeks but last week we learned God has been preparing Pastor's heart for the last 6 months. Yesterday, we arrived with open arms and hearts for the official first service as one body and were greeted with the same. Collectively, we share a feeling of being plunked in the center of God's work and an eagerness to join together to be used for His glory.
I am in awe at the desires of my heart that are being answered through this assimilation. For example, I have been praying for a big black (not used disrespectfully) woman to pass through my life who loves Jesus with all that's in her, sings a wicked gospel song and prays like there will be no tomorrow . Welllllll, this week, the women's ministry is having a half-day prayer seminar . I debated on going but when I heard who the guest speaker was, I knew it was a date with destiny. Yep, it's her! God's grace rains down once again as He fills the desires of my heart!
