Feeling the Joy!

Have you ever felt the joy of just being in the presence of God! Maybe or maybe not? But I am going to tell you that I was so overwhelmingly overcomed by how much He loves me this past Saturday. I had a great Day away with the Alpha class I am participating with a group of great ladies. Prior to the day away this week I was just all excited in the preparation of this great weekend to come. We had Encounter on Wednesday where I saw great things happening, Then Thursday, when my group shared all the answered prayers from the prior weeek. Friday, I had my Reset Group. But Saturday during our day away, we had awesome speakers. Don who teaches us so much about the bible and where to find the answers. Grif who rocked our world with his awesome emotional outpouring of his heart and the one an only Mr. Dave Zuber who shared his experiences with the Holy Spirit and the love he shares with God. What else can I ask for? It was a great Saturday, lets go to Saturday service and conclude a great day, right? Oh no, God had bigger plans for me. I was all happy and excited like I had had 20 cups of coffee. I was still filled with His love that day. Unfortunately, I could not stay for service but I stayed for worship. OMG! He almost knocked me senseless. The music was just what I needed to center everything I was feeling. I was soo overwhelmed that I did not know I could stand any more. I was crying so hard, I had snot coming out and ...well you get the picture. Why was I crying, I had such a wonderful day?, Why was I feeling so overcomed to give it all? Have I not been committed evnough? Well let me tell you that I love my God a lot but after His pouring over me I don't know that I can explain how much I really love Him! It is really beyond what I can explain and share. I hope that everyone at one point could feel what I felt yesterday. It is almost surreal. I thought I was loved but yesterday I really learned how much He loves me. I pray that everyone can feel it and see it and live it. I hope I can express it to others too! God is awesome! His love is overwhelming! Love you guys!
