Overflowing…
I started this post yesterday and just got around to completing it.
Reading Pastor Daniel’s blog a couple days back reminded me of the staff meeting we had earlier in the month.
At the meeting we were talking about growth in general and being prepared for the growth, pastor read the story of the widows oil from 2 kings and referred to the fact that the oil stopped when there were no more vessels to fill. So now we are working to find ways of creating more vessels, or in our case seats. It’s amazing trying to keep up with God’s blessing, I think Jeremy put it best in his post. In Luke 6:38 “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Running over is what we’ve got right now, it’s exciting it’s exhilarating it’s something that we fully give God the glory for.
So for now even as we continue to find new ways to expand our capacity we’re praying God, please help us find the vessels we need, because now that we’re experiencing your blessing being poured out, we don’t want to be away from that feeling.
Day 4
Short post, running late. Missed exercise this morning but I will get it in before the end of the day.
Quiet time was in 1 Corinthians 12 (The spiritual gifts chapter) need to find a) spiritual gift test, and b) if that is the complete listings, I know I have talents, but I’m not sure what my SG is.
Right, was supposed to leave 5 minutes ago.

EDIT: Well As I had a conference in PA I got my exercise in, but not until 1 am that morning, but as I hadn’t gone to sleep yet I still count it as part of a day.
