Well, it is fun, exciting, and nerve racking Labor Day weekend for the Heeringa's. Abby is competing in a statewide pageant competition in Jackson this weekend. Abby and Dawn went down on Friday. Millie and I stayed behind to preach Houston to victory. I speak to them each Friday and stayed around to watch them win the Battle of the Creek. Go Toppers! Millie and I left Saturday morning at 5 to go to Jackson and watch Abby compete in the talent competition and then I escorted her last night in the formalwear. On the road again Millie and I got home about 10 last night. I get the joy of preaching this morning. It is always a blessed privilege to preach and one that I know that God did not have to give me, but I am thankful each and every time. After worship this morning, Millie and I will head back to see the final results. I don't know how it will all turn out but Abby has done WONDERFUL! She has spoken and sang and pranced as good as any of them and I think a lot of better than all of them ( I may be slightly bias). Pround of my girls. God's blessings are abundant.
In Ezekiel this morning I was touched by how much God just wants pure living. It burdened the heart of God to watch the Israelites waste opportunities to walk righteously before God and instead get caught up in idolatry and worldly sins. He searched far and wide for the righteous. Ezekiel 22:30 speaks of the attempt: And I sought for a man among them who should build up the wall and stand in the breach before me for the land, that I should not destroy it, but I found none. We still need breachmakers and gapstanders. Oh, that God can look at our lives and see those taking a stand for the things of God and whatever the cost. Live for Him today!
