McDonald's

Tonight I attended Soma, it's the Young Adult Ministry of North Point Church.  It was only like the third one I was able to make since it began in August due to other commitments.  But tonight was a great night to go.  In fact, every Soma is a great one to attend.  I try to listen to all the sermons online.  Sammy, the Pastor for this ministry and the other Pastors at North Point have an incredible vision for the city of Toledo and the young adult community.  Their passion is very evident by the way they live their lives.
   But tonight Sammy spoke about how we need to find our "McDonalds".  Meaning, we need to discover in what aspects of our lives RIGHT NOW we could be serving God more.  We all have goals and places in life we want to go but RIGHT NOW God has us where we are for a reason and we need to bring glory to him for that.  We need to go out to our "McDonald's" and serve our friends, family, co-workers, strangers, who ever we come across.  The Lord most certainly spoke through Sammy tonight and he was indeed a great vessel for the message.  Friends, I would encourage you to listen to this message (thesomacommunity.com)  And think about what your McDonald's is.
     I know what mine is and I know I need to be a better server in those areas.  I know that I often times look ahead in life and forget about what I am doing in the here and now.  But think about it this way, Jesus knew the vision his father had given him, he knew he was the Son of God but yet he did not start his ministry until he was 30.  What was he doing those first 30 years?  He was working at his McDonald's.
Love y'all
