Moving Day

Today is moving day for our QCC family and as such a time for reflection. In the little more than a year that QCC has been meeting as a family we have been witness to blessing after blessing at the generous hand of our Lord. It seems that every time there has been a need, though we knew not how to fill it, He did. Whether it has been money, equipment, houses to meet in, whatever our needs have been the Lord has been by our side. This leads me to conclude that as we take this next step in our journey that we only must rely on the Lord and we will be forever blessed and our needs attended to. We, because of God's unfailing guidance, have continued to grow in Spirit, faith, numerically, financially and above all in the desire to reach the lost in our walk with Jesus. In retrospect, several of the things we have seen happen in our brief ministry have been, there is no other way to put it, miraculous. We give all the Glory to God for the successes we are enjoying.

Tomorrow we turn yet another page in the book of our adventure as we meet for the first time in the sanctuary provided to us by the Lord of the universe. Little more than two months ago we were in fear as to where we would be, knowing that our present accommodation would not suffice for another winter. Yet, there emerged an opportunity for us to move after a sequence of unheard of events transpired in which the hand of God is so clearly evident that it can't be refuted.

While we thank God for the new sanctuary, we will not fail to be thankful for the two places the Lord led us to before this one, each time satisfying an immediate need we faced at that moment. God is faithful to address and satisfy our needs - He has never failed us and we have faith that He never will. And so I close by offering this: Thank you Lord for what you have done, what you are doing, and what you will do for us your children. We praise and magnify you and lift you up as the giver of all our good gifts and the source of all our good fortune. Thank You.

Be Thankful

Thanksgiving. Could this be the key to peace? According to Phil. 4:4-6 the Peace of God, which is so profound that it can't be understood, is available through giving thanks. In order to be thankful one must be acutely aware of the present - now. Look around, what do you have to be thankful for? I'm sure you will see plenty, even in these challenging times. Not just today, but every day, be thankful and God will protect you with peace.
