The electricity finally came back on and we had an awesome worship / devotion time. Scott shared about a missionary from his church who was killed in Afghanistan on August 5th. Cheryl Beckett was an amazing woman with a desire to share God's love, without regard to her own safety. One thing that Scott shared was that when Cheryl had been asked what was the most difficult thing she faced while on the mission field. Her answer was simple....no freedom to worship.
We take our freedom to worship God so for granted. As we worshipped tonight, we excercised our freedom and felt the presence of God in the most powerful amazing way. We could hear the booming thunder and see the lightening illuminating the sky and were reminded of the power and majesty of our Amazing God. I am resolved to not take my freedoms or our awesome God for granted and be thankful for just being FREE TO WORSHIP.
