Today we came together to worship as people in a variety of spiritual places. If we could create a "dread" scale we would have found people all along the spectrum. Many are living life oblivious to the dark cloud just over the horizon. Not really anxious, fearful or facing dread - but just moving along. (Use this season of life to strengthen your relationship with Christ - These are seasons for grace and growth - foundational.)
Others are smack in the middle of a dread experience. The hovering cloud of dread just came along and covered us. We're hanging on. We're in survival mode. Now is when we rely on the foundations of faith and grace that have been formed through the years. We find sustaining power in a season of apprehension, fear, anxiety and dread.
Others are coming out of the cloud. We are moving forward with dreams rekindled. Our trust in the goodness of God is stronger now than before.
It was that kind of day.
I'm pretty sure someone will put that video on here so you can see what dread looks like in my life! I'm not sure where it is right now.
I so appreciate everyone's part in our services. A special thanks to Cody Lawrence (he's in high school) for singing today. It takes a lot to get up and do that! Thanks.
Right now I'm getting ready to take our daughter Andrea to her birthday dinner. Cheesecake Factory - be there in a little while.
It's been a good day. I hope you've had a good day too.
