"Don't worry, God has a plan."

A friend of mine approached me on Sunday at Church On The Rock, the local fellowship we are involved with, and told me that he had been fasting all Easter weekend, and three times he felt God had told him to convey to me "Don't worry, God has a plan."

My friend shared this with me in classic Vineyard style (although I don't think he realized it) by saying, "I don't know if this makes sense or not, but I felt the Lord was saying..."

When I asked him if he'd heard that I was no longer employed, his eyes got wide. He hadn't heard yet. "Well, now it makes sense!" he exclaimed.

It's very encouraging to hear people share things in faith, and then realize that they were right to do so. And I was encouraged by what he shared, as well!

Sunday morning at COTR included our youngest daughter, Renee, dancing with the other children in a resurrection celebration dance. Sunday evening's celebration (pictured below) included Wendy painting on stage with the worship band, our eldest daughter Jo dancing, and me playing bass (in my "Got Haggis?" t-shirt). It was a great time for our family to be so involved in making the Resurrection Celebration happen.

It's good to have a worshipping community around you when difficult times hit.
