Where's The Kaboom?

We received an application from Marvin the Martian at work :)...I know that seems juvenile, but considering the monotony of my job sometimes and processing so many real applications in a day...I always get a kick out of getting an app like that....I know someone somewhere was trying to be really clever at that moment and was probably laughing as they filled out the application incognito :)

(see he IS filling out the application while trying to destroy the world)

We always look for the EARTH-SHATTERING things.....things that ROCK OUR WORLD....but so many important things happen in one small conversation...not the whirlwind or the earthquake, right?  I saw an article this past week....I think the title of it was called The Last Church in Churchville (because it reminded me of Whoville....but, like a really depressing Dr Seuss story)....the article was talking about how the last church in this little town (that really was called Churchville) was dying.  That made me think of our little church in Parma....and I am just swimming in this feeling of gratitude that GOD would give us the opportunity to use it for HIM.  We had a time of prayer tonight for the community and then a bunch of people that are helping to plant the church went out walking and talking with people in the neighborhoods near the church.  WE HAD SUCH A GREAT RECEPTION! Everyone was very curious about what we have been doing and tons of people said they will come.  The people that already have a home church blessed us by their excitement for our new ministry in their community.  We just chatted on front porches....we gave people invitations, introduced our families to their families, and prayed with some people when we felt led.

All the time we have been working on the building....GOD has been working in the hearts of the people.....sometimes the work to get something going feels so overwhelming, but then you have a moment like tonight where you just get a tiny glimpse that GOD is going to make this such a huge blessing and HE HAS BEEN GOING BEFORE YOU....It is so amazing that HE goes BEFORE us.....is WITH us....and follows UP (not many people follow-up anymore....but it is important)!

I'd love a new news article to come out.....THE LITTLE CHURCH THAT STOOD :)

Nothing formed AGAINST us shall stand....HE holds the whole world in HIS hands!

LET THAT ROCK YOUR WORLD!

KABOOM (there it is!)
