Coming into the presence of God

this morning i went to church (Elim Coventry) for the 9.30am service because i had tap show rehearsals at 12.30pm and wouldnt be able to make it back in time if i went for the usual 11.15am one. it was nice going to church early early in the morning again... sort of like the first thing you do for the day is worshipping Him and just enjoying it, somewhat like tithing... giving God your first portion and He blesses the rest. a big thank you to josh who gave me a ride to church (because if he didnt, i wouldnt be able to go to church at all! the buses only start at 10am on sundays) and anyway since he was playing the piano for the morning services i had to go like an hour early. BUT... it was nice to just sit there (after i did do SOME productive work like write an essay plan... HAHAHAHA...) and just have a private worship session as they went through like a string of songs...

pastor dave was saying how amazing it is that God is so big yet He isnt too big for us and our needs. or even just to fellowship with us. Praise God for that! over the last few months i have realised that since coming to the UK, i have grown to know myself better in that i SERIOUSLY need God. when i feel depressed He is my Comforter. when i feel scared He is my Protector. when i feel like sometimes no one understands me, He is my constant Companion. He and I are best pals, ya? He walks with me every step of the way, even though sometimes i ignore Him or forget that He is there. But that doesnt deter Him or make Him walk away...

God is great. Amen? i say Amen to that!
