This week I've been attending our denominational M11 Conference. It's a group of leaders from the Church of the Nazarene in the USA and Canada all coming together for a series of meetings and workshops.
While I expected that this would be a great event, I did not expect God to show up in the way that He did. For years I've said "You cannot be in the presence of a Holy God and remain the same." When you truly meet God, you are changed by His presence. That is exactly what happened this week. God came - and we are different for the experience.
Right now it's almost midnight. It's been a great week and I'm excited to get back home to my family. I'm wondering how I adequately share with them what God has done this week. I also can't wait to share with my church family on Sunday. If God would come upon our church service in a similar way to how He showed up this week, things would definitely change. That's what I'm praying for and looking forward to for this weekend - that God would reveal Himself to our people and that we would be forever changed by His presence.
Thanks, God, for what you've done in my life this week!
