Egads! Twice in one Week!

Yes I know you can hardly believe your eyes, and I know its too good to be true, but this is the second blog I've wrote this week! I just got back from Jackson, TN from our general conference which was totally awesome! The Spirit of the Lord was in the place in a big way. We heard some very anointed preaching, speaking directly to our hearts. We try to place words on things like this, and there is no way to describe it. Awesome isn't even the right word but its all I have at this moment. The only way I can tell you how it feels is to tell you to come and experience for yourself! I love the Lord with all my heart, even more now than I did yesterday. There is a ton going on in my life and some direction is forming. I heard a message yesterday that Brother Craig Marshall preached and it was fantastic! One of his points was that we need to have childlike faith, and childlike obedience to the Lord, however we need to be adults in the Spirit. 1st Corinthians 13 says that when He was a child, he spake as a child, he understood as a child, but when He became a man he put away childish things. Spiritually we need to do that, and naturally. I have prayed before for God to help me grow up in him, and help me to put away childish arguments and bigotry. He has helped me, but I don't need to stop praying that, because we all learn no matter how old we get. No matter how much we do for God we can always do more. No matter how mature in the spirit we are, there is always something we can work on. We are not perfect, yet we are to try to attain it as best we can. We are to be Holy for the Lord our God is Holy. Holiness is not the dress that we were. Standards and Holiness should never be the synonyms. But inward Holiness, will reflect on the outside. We should still try the spirit and see if it be of God. I thank the Lord for the fellowship and for all the wonderful messages that I heard. Thats all for now, Y'all have a blessed day. I love y'all! God Bless!
