Sunday, Day 1

Before I drive to the 4 miles to our worship center this morning, I am more uncertain than usual for a Sunday morning. I am introducing the 30-day faith experiment as described by Terry Esau in his book SURPRISE ME. I want God to surprise me, but I also want to lead people into a desire to want God to surprise them. So as I preach today, God, surprise all of us!

SURPRISE! Mid-way through worship this morning in walk Jen, Sergio, Sierra, Christopher and Joshua: A precious family I haven't seen in worship for a very long time. Why did they choose to attend today? Thank you, God, that they are seeking you.

SURPRISE! Even before our evening worship service began, Kai sees the journals on the tables, reads the title, "Surprise Me, God--A 30 day faith experiment", and begins writing his first entry. This was BEFORE I had preached and taught one word about the experiment. I know that Kai is eager to hear your voice, God.
