Business meeting

My friend, Gregg, has posted a blog concerning a business meeting last Sunday evening at our church. I must respond. I had the immense pleasure of being in attendance at this meeting, and I went away with a huge sense of having just had a true worship experience. There was something very special in the room...perhaps the presence of Christ? And...I must admit...I found it discouraging that everyone didn't experience it the way I did. Why wasn't everyone feeling the air in the room like I was? Why were so many still engaged in idle chatter when Miriam's sweet voice began drawing us to God's heart? Why were some more concerned with grammatical issues surrounding the final official "minute" than with the content itself? Oh well, it is comforting to know that I was not alone in my perceptions. There were others who sensed what I did. I suppose the bottom line for me was the knowledge that yes, this decision truly was God's leading for NFC. What an awesome privilege to witness such clarity...and even more than that, what an amazing experience for me personally.

Now, don't get me wrong. I realize many of my above comments come off rather "holier than thou." No; I know that the people I mentioned above are committed to Christ and are far more advanced in their journey than I. I suppose, though, that I mention those things because they truly did flounder around in my brain. And...I think I was thrilled that God chose to allow me to sense all that I sensed. Why me? I have not always been in that place. Why God continues to shower down favor on my soul is nothing but pure grace and love.

I am hungry for more of Him.
