Super Sundays

Some days are more special then others. Most Sunday, I really am excited to get to Journey, reconnect with the larger church family and share what God has laid on my heart. Sunday’s are normally great days. Then there are some Sundays that seem to have an extra bit of power in them. We have been blessed to have several of them lately. This Sunday was a prime example.
From the moment I came it the Uturn coffeehouse, there was a sense of extra anticipation for what was in store for us today. As volunteers came to serve, it only added the feeling. Then both Sunday morning gatherings seemed very Spirit led and filled. Our large gathering with God was an extra special encounter. Part of the added bonus was the testimony and baptism of Sara. It never gets old, hearing and seeing how people are effected by a transformed life. That is a committed follower of Jesus making public statement of faith, total surrender through the act of baptism. When the crowd screams and celebrates another person added to the family of God...it’s overwhelming.
Then then are day rolled into opening up the Uturn coffeehouse and Event Center for the NFC championship game. We had a very excited and interactive crowd. Yeah it doesn’t hurt that the Packers won. That’s a extra bonus as well.

Honestly though you never know how long a wave will last of spiritual growth, newcomers, and clear transformation in peoples lives. Sometimes “it” just happens and you simply get to enjoy what God’s spirit is doing. I wish I could figure out the “it-factor” of days and weeks like this... but I can’t. That is where I must simply follow God, play my part and wake up each day wonder what God will do. I believe “expectation” does have something to do with “it-factor” of great days. So as I start this Monday, I expect something exciting, challenging or unforeseen to happen. I expect God to move in my life some how. I pray that I see, and enjoy it as much as i have enjoyed these last few weeks.
