Last night was beautiful. I've noticed how easy is it to draw close to God again when I've been lazy. It doesn't take much, not at all. Just obeying God when He gives me those little urges can bring a moment that yanks me back into His arms and into His love.

When I was leaving work last night, it was late and stormy, and even though there were other cars out and about, I felt alone. Not in the depressing snse or anything--it was just like "I'm alone right now, no one else matters" you know? I had the radio on wayfm, and I was singing along to whatever song was on, and God told me to turn the radio off and pray. So I did.

Now, I've done this before in the car, but it's always been awkward to hear my voice bouncing around in the emptiness of the van (lol), but last night it was completely comfortable. My voice was strong as I began praying for different people, as if I was tapping into God's power. I began just thanking Him and praising Him for the things He has given me and the people He has placed in my life. I began thanking Him for Jesus, for saving me, for loving me.

Like I told Beth, I couldn't help but cry, because how else can you express such an overwhelming gratefulness?!

The God we serve is doing AMAZING things!

Until later,
