Hi Pastor John,
I loved your testimony tonight. When thinking about my “visions”, I remember knowing shortly after I started coming to your meetings that this truth is the only thing that has ever given my life direction. I love this truth! God put it in my heart to want to know the truth when He started talking to me at the Lutheran Church, as He was drawing me to his son and out of Christianity.
Thank you God for loving me, Us!

Good morning!
Last night was a really wonderful message, and it had the same feeling to it as what Jesus told me the other day. Sunday night, when my family and I got that sick stomach bug thing, I cried and prayed, and Jesus said to “Trust me for everything!” It was something you would’ve heard with a smile, full of encouragement and love. It had a sweet feeling to it. That’s how last night felt. If I trust him for everything, then I trust what he does and will do for my life! Such a great reminder and double up on that feeling!
I’m so thankful that Jesus cares enough to stop and think about each of us and what we need when we need it. It’s also similar to the feelings I had listening to the Father and Son CD yesterday with the song “Ask of Me”… The Father and Son had everything, but they wanted someone to share it with – us! Anyone with that power to create you, when you didn’t have to exist, has the power to create that life to be wonderful, and I don’t want to mess that up with my own plans. I’m content right now, this morning, to sit and not have a “vision” for my life!

Morning Pastor John!
Hope all of you are warm and cozy in NC. The fire looks wonderful on fb.
Last night after the meeting, I was soaking up everything you were teaching us. It was so good! I kept thinking about what you said about having “No vision”. I thought to myself, ” Ha! Imagine saying that to this world.” Have no vision and lose your mind! Then I had the most wonderful thought.
This is exactly what Jesus meant about his speaking in parables. This is for His children. This is for us. To really take that in took my breath away. This is for us! I am so overwhelmed and humbled to be part of God’s chosen. It was like Jesus let this sink in a little deeper in my heart. Last night I just felt so loved and so … chosen. Whew I just want to let it all go and float up to Jesus.
Please say a prayer for me Pastor John. I want more of Jesus and NONE of me. I want to live.
