Truly, madly, deeply, stuck

This past weekend we kicked off the “truly, madly, deeply, stuck” marriage series, and a few of the highlights for me were the conversations after the service.  I prayed with people whose marriage are in the “stuck” stage, but that day made a committment to doing what they had to do in order to make their marriage work and get better.   They committed to a covenant marriage and said divorce was not going to be an option for them. 

Another highlight was watching a couple after one service walk up on the platform together and they stood in front of the cross and prayed together.   The oneness and unity presented in that moment moved me to tears. 

And then there were the stories of people who put their faith in Jesus for the first time.  After hearing that one ingredient to a healthy marriage is making God our hightest priority in life, some people realized they had never done that before and asked Jesus to be their Lord and savior.  I continue to be amazed at how God works every weekend. 

I look forward to what’s going to happen throughout this series…what I’m not looking forward to is the construction.  I’m speaking specifically about Lino Lakes now, but there’s going to be road construction happening for the next 6 weeks that’s going to create delays getting to church.  I encourage you to find a different route to Lino or just plan on leaving an extra 5-10 minutes early from home.  Trust me, you won’t regret it.
