It's about time. I've been asking, no crying, actually pleading for Him to be in my presence. I should have expected him there, but I just wasn't sure. This year I have been super stressed about the beginning of club. I don't know why. Maybe it's because I knew He was gonna show up there but I didn't want to face that. I even had a bad dream about campaigners and club the other night, well not bad but just weird. It was one of those dreams where you wake up and think did that just happen.
Well needless to say He was there Monday night. Club went great and campaigners went well too. Everything that I had stressed about and was out of my hands was taken care of. It all ended up working. I even thought earlier in the afternoon that club might not happen, I couldn't find the things i needed to make my computer work right. Plus it was Monday night football, a big game for the Bengals. I didn't think anyone was going to show. Put God stepped in, He showed that this was His thing, not mine, not my teams, but His. I am now so excited about this year in the Three Rivers Community. I truly believe God is moving there and I believe He is bringing me along for the ride. He might not be moving in my personal life and struggles, but He has shown up in my ministry and in a big way.

Read these passages
Matthew 22:34-40
The Greatest Commandment
34Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. 35One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: 36"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" 37Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'[b] 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'[c] 40All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.
Matthew 28:16-20
The Great Commission
16Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."We don't need to wait for a difference in the community, We Are The Difference! We can make a change by loving others!

Luke 5:12-13
The Man With Leprosy
12While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man came along who was covered with leprosy.[a] When he saw Jesus, he fell with his face to the ground and begged him, "Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean." 13Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. "I am willing," he said. "Be clean!" And immediately the leprosy left him.If Jesus can heal that, Can he heal you?
Then with a prayer, then amazing night that God made so good came to a close.
On Monday, October 1rst He showed up... He was there...I was in his presence.
