Well, Sunday night saw seven people getting baptised in EMBC. Was an amazing night - trying to fit everyone in you could literally feel the excitment rising.
Couple of my friends were among those getting baptised. As they shared their testimony I was struck by one of those 'wow' moments. For example, one of them has been a Christian for a year and a week now. She wasn't a particularly bad person before or anything, but to see the change in her in the last year has been utterly amazing. God is doing so much in her and you just look at her and see potential for the so much more that God has still yet in store. Anyway, my 'wow' moment was that kind where you hear what's going on, when you hear people's stories, and you just have no words other than 'wow'.
Wow, only you God could have made such a difference in the lives of these people. Wow God, only you could have drawn us all together tonight to celebrate. Wow God, only you would take a 'dunking' and make it hugely significant ... allowing for a physical demonstration of the new reality that has taken place on the inside. Wow God, how awesome are you!
Recently there have been a few moments when, for different reasons and in different ways, it has felt like I was in the middle of a holy moment. When all my senses came alive with a very real awareness of God's presence. Last night was one of those moments. And all I can say is 'WOW!!!'
