So I am thinking I might have made a not so good reputation for myself with my last post. That is not a typical day at the office. It was a one time thing.....
Today was pretty chaotic. I realized that trying to do admin type stuff is pretty hard. I was building a survey for the worship team, something that they can answer and then I can plug their answers into a spreadsheet and spit out a schedule. It is a good idea. The program was nuts though. And I was a bit brainless to on a couple of questions. So basically it made for a full day of survey junk. In which I was having many heart issues. I was complaining, I was angry, I was trusting in my own strength, it was terrible. By 12:30pm I needed to leave to get food in me and to read my bible. Thanks to the words of a friend I decided to open up Romans 1. The things that God began to do in my heart were powerful. I was reading about the wrath of God being revealed against all ungodliness. I was seeing my ungodliness. I was seeing myself so strongly in this passage. Scary. I saw how sinful I was being regarding a stupid survey. I felt sorta sick, I think it was the combination of the whopper and the conviction of sin. Oh but what would the book of Romans be without chapter 3? Inspite of my sin "a righteousness from God has been made known" / Then I flipped to Isaiah to see what my saviour endured for my sin. How God had to crush Him for me, the one who complains in the midst of an ocean of grace and mercy, and I was finally broken. I just walked to the park behind the office and shed tears, I don't know if they were all tears of repentance but also of Joy. The old old story is a joyful story.
I went back to that survey with a heart that had been freshly washed clean. I heart that had repented and been reminded of the grace in which I live.

p.s. Eric says I am the master of survey monkey and he is willing to outsource my work for a small fee.
