Our God is an awesome God

For my third blog, I'll try to make this short and to the point.

My wife has decided that she would like to be a nurse, and has started taking classes to get her degree. She was told that if she plans on working full time while doing clinicals, she may as well not start them. At the moment, we are barely keeping our heads above water, so this is very difficult.

I am working full time along with school, and cannot work another job (nor do I have any desire), so that puts us between a rock and a hard place. I have been a member of the A/V team at church for quite a while now, and had told Dennis that I can't keep this up any more...its too much time. So he asked me to do one more Saturday night, and I agreed.

The next Saturday, I got talking to another A/V guy, and was sharing my situation with him (he's working in the field I want to be in), and he shared some things with me that may well help our financial situation. I'm really hoping that this works out.

Fast forward to 3/30/08 service at church. When the pastor spoke today, I could feel a real tug at my heart. God was speaking through the pastor directly to me. I felt the need to go to the altar to pray. When I got there, Pastor Marggy got down next to me and prayed for me aloud. I had not told her what I was struggling with...but she sure knew exactly what my struggles were. Yes, there is some remote possibility that she talked to someone who knew my struggles and they told her, but I know better. The spirit of God Himself was speaking through her and to me.

I've never heard God's voice like that before, but it sure put a lot of things into perspective! God does care about me, he does care about EVERYTHING I do, and He can do so much through my weakness. I was absolutely floored to see the power of God working like this. Looking back, I feel similar to the Grinch when he learned what love was. My heart grew 3 sizes today!
