Hi!
Could it be possible? Could I actually be making a post about sermon notes and getting it out on the same day?! I told ya'll 2018 was going to be my year!
Pastor Peter has been taking us through the last weekend of Jesus. So today he talked about Saturday. And let the notes begin:
John 11: 1-44
- "The day with no name"
The in-between day with the silence that you can feel.
Maybe God's silence is not His absence.
Instead of asking "why?" ask "What can God do in this?"
John 11: 17
- 4 days = no hope. People believed that a spirit could linger over a body for 3 days, but after that the spirit was gone.
What do you do when you feel like Jesus is taking forever?
Are we going to judge Jesus love by our circumstances?
- I know that He can. But, sometimes He waits. And I can trust him in the meantime.
Psalm 56:8
- Do you think that someone like Jesus would withhold good from us?
On Saturdays you can be with God unlike any other day, because Saturday God is your only hope.
Jesus enters our Saturday so we can enter His Sundays.
love,

Sunday series
Hi!
Ok, so usually I try and do notes from church, but I haven't been taking them (don't @ me!), so instead I'm going to tell a story that happened on a Saturday and that I was supposed to tell like two Sunday's ago, but am just getting around to it today.
Anywho, it's a story about love, me trying to find it, and being encouraged to find it by people that I already love, and I feel like that is appropriate for a blog about Sunday, since Jesus is love. And this story just contains a lot of love and answers to why I am single. Besides the obvious fact that I really don't like sharing a bed.
So, this happened like I said a couple of Saturdays ago, I was with my work tribe and we were out and about on the town, for like sort of a work event, but like we were cutting up so I'm not sure if work wants to be associated with that. There was a guy there that Rosie pointed out and said oh, he works here. I turn and look and as soon as I turn back around, Adrianna and Rosie go, oh, he's your type. I immediately start laughing, because they were of course, very correct.
So, I proceed to spend a good chunk of the evening, clocking his moves. At one point he was helping out behind the bar and they send me over to do some damage. And below is the exact conversation that happened.
Me: Walks up and smiles
Him: Smiles
Me: Continuing to smile and getting impatient
Bartender: Very confused, tried to take my drink order.
Me: "So, do you work here?"
Him: "I don't actually work here, but I'll help you out."
Me: "Perfect! I'll take a club soda."
Him: Makes drink and hands it to me.
Me: "Thanks!" I'm pretty sure I smiled again at this point.
I then proceed to walk back to our table and recount this whole story and Rosie and she says that I let down all of Oak Park. So, my bad Oak Park, didn't mean to do it to you! I still feel like this is a W though, because me a couple of years ago wouldn't even have gone up to the bar. So, still no L's in 2018.
As always my loves, stay hydrated, stay moisturized, and stay woke!
love,

Sermon's notes - 3.4.18
Oh hey!
Look at me, I'm just writing all over the place! I figured it's time for me to bring back Sermon notes. Mainly, because I was in church this Sunday and actually took notes. So, a successful day all around. Anywho, without further ado, here you go!
Daniel and the Lion's Den - Daniel 6
- Do you justify sin in your life, because everyone else does it?
John 3:20
- Do you have a Daniel effect on people?
- If Daniel's prayer life was inconsistent, or random, they would have never hatched this plan.
- False self: You are what you do, You are what you have, You are what other people think of you
True self: You are beloved
- Are there Darius' in your life?
- Faith's about obeying, despite consequences.
- We can not read the story moralistically.
It points to the salvation we have waiting for us in the future
- The miracles in the Bible highlight the way God intended the world to be (it's the restoration of how God wants it to be)
- Because the real Daniel went through the lion's den, we can face whatever lions we have with poise and confidence.
- We can not do this unless God is the lion in our life.
- Daniel looking towards Jerusalem is us looking towards the cross.
- Where can I make the greatest kingdom impact?

ktv
As a side note, Amy and myself had some logistical questions about this whole lion's den:
- Where was this den?!
- How far outside of the city was it?
- Why did they have to roll a stone in front of it? Why was it not always there?!
- What did the lions eat regularly in between people?
