Another thing I can add to the blessing/favor list...
HBC teamed up with the local police dept. and delivered turkeys to family's in our city. Yesterday we got a surprise knock on the door....A woman with 2 little girls delivered our family a turkey and a few extra things. Someone put our family on the list...This is so unbelievably awesome to me.
God just continues to blow my mind!

His Favor
So I noticed that God has been giving me favor at HBC. The cup of blessings has been overflowing and I am in awe at what He is doing in my life. This is what the Lord has filled the cup with so far...
lunch paid for
book given
C.R when ever I want and I get to ride with 2 wonderful woman of God.
A woman who has been in recovery for like 20 yrs that offered to be my sponsor.
I got invited in and joined there little homeschool group.
Invited to do a woman's bible study. We started last Mon. and it's a Beth Moore one.
And the latest, someone wants to adopt my family of 8 for Christmas.
This has all been in such a short amount of time, and all of it is coming from this one church. I am just overwhelmed and in awe of His goodness towards me.

A Thankful Heart
I am gonna try something new. When I pray I will only pray thankful prayers and thats it. I got this idea from my sister. I started last night and will continue through out November. In doing this I hope to rid myself of negative, complaining, discontent, unbelieving prayers to God. And change my way of thinking to a thankful heart.

Church
God is totally changing my idea of church. My idea of church is only a mere human idea that exists in so many ways to glorify man, not the creator of the universe, the creator of church and all.
I realize that I have been carrying an unseen guilt this whole time. I am guilty...
For attending another churches woman's ministry...And I like it.
For attending another church the past couple of weeks.
For being able to discern the voice of God...sometimes so easily.
For listening to motivational speakers and other pastors messages.
For preaching and teaching that don't follow the order of the Book.
For seeing in the spirit.
For my enthusiasm when it comes to Him.
For being bored in certain christian circles.
Man, this list can go on and on and on. I have a lifetime of what man's idea of church is since I grew up in the church. With so many differences and different opinions I was taught that where ever I landed was the right one and all others are not in there right mind. Think about it, is this not what your church is teaching??
If you think not then I challenge you to think again. Oh they ain't gonna tell you straight up, they can't. But if you notice it comes out in other deceiving, manipulative ways. I am not saying that all churches are like this.
The guilt that I carry is man's idea not God's. And I don't want to be entangled in this humanistic, legalistic, prejudice thinking anymore. I want to follow His idea of what the church is and what it looks like. I want to be apart of the Holy Spirits church, the one most like Christ, the One that glorifys His name.
