Morning!
I feel that we often miss the small ways that God provides for us to be in communion with him. He is everywhere and from time to time, we catch a glimpse of His majesty...as you have done. I agree that we also need time to come together as a body, to worship Him and share with our brother 's and sister's and for me that can happen anywhere.
Rita's message re the purpose driven life is one my own church is studying at present. I am not in a home cell and so have not taken part in the discussions. I found that once I had given my life, God has worked in so many areas of my life and has revealed bit by bit my purpose in this world. The more I follow that purpose, the more I grow in spirtual maturity. But, I have to say that it has meant me laying down much of what the world holds as important. It has meant a stepping out and walking on water which at times is scary, but knowing He has gone on ahead gives me the peace that what I am doing is His purpose for my life, so I don't need to read it in a book. He gives me the picture piece by piece but I have to start without seeing the full picture and that is where Faith kicks in BIG time
Have a wonderful day!
