God is Bigger than....

I just wanted to mention how big God really is. When we run from God we always run right into him. This weekend of course as everyone know was Easter. I was raised in a Baptist Church. I was one of the fortunate ones that have been blessed with wonderful Christian parents who love and cared for me. But you see God is not religion God is a relationship. Since, my brother died last March my life had sort of driffted into this stage of not wanting to do the right thing. I have the head knowledge and I would even say I have the heart knowledge of His presense. So here I was doing my own thing, talking my own way and going down a road that needed not to be traveled. Sunday Morning I went to church at LakePointe Church(just a little side plug there) and the message was surprised by Jesus..... I had made it through the whole service still continuing to say to myself I am fine I can do what I want and still go to church. At the end of the service Pastor Steve showed a lady who had been incarcerated and had attended Lake Pointe while in jail. She made a statement, "the moment I was arrested was the moment I started to live." The next thing there was various people holding up signs one said "I was lonely, but Jesus filled the void" and " I let me abuse me but GOD healed my wounds." I began to cry and at that moment all of the frustration, pain and suffering I had felt I gave to Jesus. There was one thing that I had been doing that I knew I had to stop but I told God I CANNOT do this on my own you will have to do it and sure enough through His power I did what He had called me to do.... Do you know what the responce I had was unexpected and it was an answer to prayer that I had needed to hear for nearly 5 years. Jesus set me free and gave me the peace and guidance that I needed. I want him to take my life and Him make it His. What is in the darkness will always be exposed in the light..... I know all of this sounds like a bunch of jumble but Jesus touched me in a way that I have not known in a long time. check out the link on my blog to Lake Point
