I was watching The Chronicles of Narnia the past Saturday prior to heading down to the farm bureau insurance building. I love the part where Lucy is finally able to meet up with Aslan. She is exuberant with her energy as she tells Aslan that she new all along that he was there but that the others had doubted. Aslan answers, "Well then why didn't you come to me anyway." A powerful moment, even more so as we look inward and ask ourselves the same question of ourselves from God.
So with heavy thoughts, we headed down to the night of prayer, not knowing who would show, what the night be like, just knowing that God had called my heart to unite this community in harmony, and these nights of prayer would be a part of his plan.
The final story I shared on Saturday night was about Thomas, our one year old son. I am learning early that he is a sermon waiting to happen, I need only listen. This night, I was in the shower, and I heard Thomas thumping down the hallway of our old house. You can hear him coming all the way from the living room. He is just learning to walk so his steps are very heavy. Before I knew it he had pushed the door open and slung back the shower curtain and was looking up at me through the shampoo suds pouring over my face. I thought about the intimacy of this moment...how intimate are we with the Father, with the Son, with allowing the Holy Spirit to guide our lives...
