Today was such an interesting and diverse day in the life of Lindsay, and yet, not so much.
I went to bed to "My God" by Hillsong, and woke up to "I Will Exalt You"... there's a little rally in there that I can't help but get out of the bed and onto my knees to praise the awesome God that put me here for another day... I got ready to go to work, let Baxter outside knowing full and well that he'd run away, but I didn't really care because I have a bum knee and can't walk him :(. Anyway, it was time to leave, and Baxter was roaming the neighborhood, along with some very nice little Jehovah Witness ladies walking in their orthopedic shoes. I talked with them, they told me about how there are so many troubles in the world and that God will look on the lowly and have sympathy for blah blah blah... Psalm 77 is what they referred to. I kept hoping they would bring a curious Baxter over to see what's up... and it worked. WOOHOO! God was with me for sure.
I wonder what their turn around rate is...
Anyway, went to work, took a couple minutes to wind up for the pitch and just started at it! Extra bold coffee really got to me, I was spinning and dancing all at the same time. I got the 12/27 service finished, Christmas Eve service ready for finalization, and the 12/20 service order done! I pat myself on the back a little with some piano playin' and worship time. I love having a keyboard in my office. Anyway, I went home. That all took about 7 hours. Phew.
Went home, ate some buckeyes against my will (not) and watched Evan Almighty... Then, I had the urge to dance and worship. SO I felt, and so it shall be. I put on some music, cleared the floor and danced my fanny off (I wish).
I may not have the best voice, or the best dance moves, but I love love LOVE my God and I KNOW I'm not qualified for the job I'm doing, but God equips me every day. I need to increase my prayer life significantly. I love praying and talking to God. I love the everyday, lying down, working moments of prayer, but I especially like the loud music in the background and me yelling into the air in a passionate plea to God only to melt down onto my face in worship and prayer. MAN... sometimes I do it just to spite my body/brain. In the words of Darlene Zschech, "I don't always wake up and go 'WORSHIP!! WOOHOO!!" But I set the scene, and begin to dance, and begin to sing, and begin to bow down- I know that though I don't FEEL any sort of CRAZY revelation, I am praising God, truly and earnestly, and the Spirit of God inside of me is leaping around. I love praise God. It's just the right thing to do.
So. God has me here in Savannah, GA. I don't know why, honestly. Yes, to do this Anchor service. But WHY me...I don't know. He has begun to teach me more and more about service for the local community. Not just the church, but reaching out. I... still need to reach out. I took a small step, but want to help in Savannah. I don't know what's keeping me, but I pray that in Jesus' name, whatever it is will be loosed, and God's will would be done in my life.
Be in prayer for IOHUMC and Savannah in general. It's a strange place, full of SO many different people from many backgrounds. They're all visible and visibly in need of some AWESOME God. Oh God, I love you.
