Sweaty Eyes and Smiling faces
22 months ago, our church was feeling a strong signal for God that we needed to move, yesterday was a huge milepost in seeing the future come to the present. What are you talking about David? Well, we had our first service in our new place. WOW what a journey, filled with joys and jerks (no we are not talking about our city officers but the quick twist and turns of a construction project).
Let me tell you, my eyes sweated all morning long. No guy would ever admit to crying would they? But sweaty eyes . . . that is a different story, and that's were I found myself. To the point I was telling myself, "David, pull your self together . . . your going to be talking in a few moments . . .it's not going to be very good if all you do is stand up their and cry."
But let me tell you, I wasn't the only one that had sweaty eyes . . .there was many tears. I think it helped me understood (just a little) of what the nation of Israel experienced as they entered into a promise that was given to their people many years ago. It also helped me understand the great responsibility that Joshua had as their leader. It's a holy pressure that I feel and also know that God will help me as he helped Joshua as well.
May the God of Jacob and Joshua be with us all!
Have a Great day
David
