The Recap:
Another great time of worship – and we sang too. All the songs this week were familiar, so no “new ground.”
The high point for me this week was how amazing the Holy Spirit is as He works and leads in the planning of the services at East Valley – both Pastor John as he shares from God’s Word and me as I am led to the songs each week.
Hope your week was AMAZING also!
…or rather, “He is in control.”
My wife and I have been on a journey to adopt children for a while and are trusting that God will lead us to the exact ones He has providentially prepared for us (and us for them!). I’ll admit, the waiting, praying, hopeful phone calls and meetings, dashed hopes, etc. is tough.

Chapter four: “Why Do You Want Him?“
The chapter title summed up the main theme. It’s really about purposes for desiring to be empowered by the Holy Spirit. It’s an interesting question – and one that probably isn’t really considered as one asks and prays for empowerment. Do we wrongly treat the Holy Spirit as a token? Do we call out to him with wrong motives in our heart?
…thought-provoking, insightful, and challenging on many levels.
