WoW! Did you see God work this weekend?

When we become saved we don't just get the Giver-the Savior, we also get a gift! Every Christian is given a special gift. We are to excercise those gifts so that everyone can benefit. My gift when used is going to help you and when you use your gift, it will help me. All of us using our gifts together is to help the whole body grow. This past week and weekend was a perfect example of Christians using their special gifts to pull off something that seemed like it wasn't going to be pulled off without a hitch. We run around like crazy with every day life. Our normal daily activities leave us exhausted and when we are attempting to do what many may deem impossible-The spirit of God fills us with His power, He helps us utilize our gifts and with God the impossible becomes possible. Thank God! And if you missed out on this weekend, then just ask one of the many that used their gift to make this past weekend happen. Thank you to all of you!

Awesome is kind of an over-used word, but this was beyond awesome! We received the blessing to be able to be a part of it. And God was indeed glorified and the other blessings just flowed from there! I want to add my thanks as well! All you little helper elves - y'all rock! :-)

And one other blessing that came from it was a new brother in the Lord. Ben Baskins, Don's son, was baptized on Tuesday just hours before catching a flight back to LA where he will busily arrange the moving of himself and his family to Japan. All that "activity" helped convince him of God's presence, and he responded to the Lord's invitation.
