One Year Celebration invitation

Great Meeting last night!

I woke up this morning feeling refreshed and excited. I know God has some new challenges today, but some great blessings as well. CR was great last night. Each time I teach a lesson I learn something new or am reminded of something I forgot. Someone asked me recently (kinda sarcastically) “Do you think Jesus really needs some program to heal people?” My answer was “No, but isn’t it great that He would think so much of us that He would use men and women to develop a process that helps make it easy for us to receive His healing?” Excited about testimony in Eunice tonight!

What a great time it will be in Houston on Feb 20^th. I can’t wait to spend the Saturday learning more about the CR program and receiving encouragement from the staff at Saddleback. The ride there and back should be fun as well.

I promise to not be God today.

I am not God, but I act like one in real life. I want to enforce my ideas and presumptions of how I want to think and feel on the rest of the world. If I want to be happy today I will "stay positive" and refuse to acknowledge and overlook any negative thing in my life, including people. If I want to be sad or depressed I do the opposite. Thus making my world and everything in it exactly how I want to see it. I am playing God. So, no matter if I am happy or sad, I am in denial and headed for destruction and disappointment.

I promise to not be God today. I promise to take the world as it is, not as I would have it. If my day has good things in it I will thank God and enjoy the blessing of the moment. If my day has bad things I will express my sadness and frustration to my Heavenly Father and ask for His help to overcome and endure. In either situation I promise to trust that He has allowed both good and bad things for my growth and maturity. I promise to accept my life, do my part, and let God handle the rest.
