mercy said "NO!"

Hello...
Well its been awhile since I posted so just a little update.
And be prepared this is going to be a little long...
K...well
Life hasn't been any better especially that God has been by my side!....work is great and the hours that they are giving me are such a blessing! They vary from 30,32,33,36! God has been great! We did a pledge @ church and I really took a step of faith with my pledge but God is providing and all I want is for God to know that I TRUST in Him!.....
Surely we all go thru bumps and sharp turns in life but don't we all? We have all had our hearts torn into a million pieces and truly have been a total mess...but I have a God that will pick me up and fix me all up!... my Pastor has been preaching on "drawing nearer to God" and its truly been a blessing and uplifting. This wednesday he preached on what we really come to church for...that really got me thinking. Now keep in mind that we have been having an awesome move of God these past few church services. And all I want is for the visitors to open our church door and for them to feel Gods presence so strongly! So I got to thinking, I want to come to church with expectancy...I am expecting God to move...but I have to put my part in...by praying! This may sound kind of silly, but I have been talking to God as if he was my friend! Well he is a friend that sticks closer than a brother! He's just a prayer away and that's how I've been thinking!...
If we're not careful the cares of this world can get to us! And we forget on God...we get so caught up we loose track of time and what really is important! You know, I really do have to confess Oncourse left a HUGE dent on my life! I can remember OC as if it was yesterday!...kind of wish I had a rewind button to go back in time! Lol... you really had to been there! One of the best year then the past ones! I want to thank God for having mercy on me! For all those nights I would go to sleep saying a sinners prayer begging God not to come tonight...to give me one more day! But I had to get myself from my own bootstraps! And God is an ONTIME God...he always is! I would choose no ther life, well there really isn't any other way!...I can't understand why someone would leave this truth! It is said that backsliders are never a good sinner because we know the truth...and conviction tugs on our heart! Why! Why! Why! Would you leave God...there's nothing more beautiful! Why would you want to go to sleep and wonder if God was to come tomorrow? And knowing you wouldn't make it?!?! Just doesn't make sense! That's why I am gllllaaaaddd! Mercy said no to me!!!! I really can do is pray for the ones who strayed away. Maybe, hopefully they will realize that they can't go on. But I have to worry for my own salvation. I want to win souls and be a witness when someone recieves Gods spirit! Nothing more beautiful.

Well enough blabbing for today! Have an early start tomorrow! Have a great week everyone! And remember, He's just a prayer away!
