Hey everyone, it's Girls/Guys this week and we'll meet at our regular locations at 7pm. Look forward to hearing about your week and talking about our awesome God! Dar and I had an incredible weekend at a Training/Conference called "The Art of Hearing God" and were blown away! God is so good. More about that later though... Also, keep an eye out for an email headed your way about our first meeting with our JP families!

Oswald Chambers

I was reading My Utmost for His Highest last night and Oswald was speaking about the relinquished life - the life of being united in Christ but laying down our sin and our entire way of looking at things. I felt the same spirit from our conversation last night about confession. The passage is HERE, but this is my favorite line:

"What our Lord wants us to present to Him is not goodness, nor honesty, nor endeavour, but real solid sin; that is all He can take from us. And what does He give us in exchange for our sin? Real solid righteousness."

Amen!

Tonight!

Guys meeting @ Shorts -7:30pm

God meets us more than half way

Thanks for the verses, keep them coming! So encouraging. Here's a few that I've been chewing on and clinging to recently... praise God, our generous protector and provider!

"Open up before God, keep nothing back; he'll do whatever needs to be done; He'll validate your life in the clear light of day and stamp you with approval at high noon. Quiet down before God, be prayerful before Him." Ps. 37:5,6

"I once was young, now I'm a greybeard- not once have I seen an abandoned believer or his kids out roaming the streets." Ps. 37:25,26

"God met me more than halfway, he freed me from my anxious fears. Look at him; give him your warmest smile. Never hide your feelings from him. When I was desperate, I called out, and God got me out of a tight spot. God's angel sets up a circle of protection around us while we pray. Open your mouth and taste, open your eyes and see -how good God is! Blessed are you who run to him!" Ps. 34:4-8
