So it has been a couple days that I have written... I am getting use to going to bed early and waking up early. However I really really like it. So I work in a hotel and right across from the front desk is the banquet room. On Saturadays they have two churches that rent the room one at like 11 and one at 1:30. So here is the thing the first one is seventh day advetist and the second one is an all black very gospel church. Okay now I am sure that there are differences from the church I go to and these churches.. I think that all the different Christian church denominations has misinterpretations of the Bible somewhere. We wont know everything until the day we meet Christ face to face. But we are all working for one thing to know him more, to grow closer to Christ, to lead others to him, we are longing to live in his image. I noticed as I watched everyone going into their church fellowship and then when they were leaving something really cool. I saw people who looked tired, stressed, flustered, or just there... not necessarily unhappy but there but for each church two different "church cultures" I saw them leaving with JOY written oon their faces. Why is a bit of heaven on earth?? Hmmm makes you think what if we made "Thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven"? What if that is how we lived our lives everyday??? not just when we went to church? We took our sorrows and turned them into joy, we took our stress and turned it into peace???? But how....I have been thinking about it this afternoon and I thought about it a bit you know what brought a smile to my face today...seeing two different churches from mine.... listenng to their messages from across the lobby... hearing the praises they sing and I knowing that we are on the same mission. A mission to live like Christ in his image and to be the salt of the world.
I am so looking forward to hearing the messages every Saturday while I am there and listening to their praise and worship. I think this is a blessing God is giving me, atleast I feel blessed. Now I ask God..why am I there?? I beleive that God puts places at different times in our lives for purpose. Hmmmm..... I am thinking it is as simple as living in Christs image and showing compassion, kindness and having joy. Make them see God in me, make them want what I have.... a relationship with Christ. Isint God so amazing...... Look what I was blessed with today 3 families of Christ at only two places of worship and all on ONE mission. To live as God has commanded us!
