Easter and Scripture Challenge -- Days 67, 68, 69, 70

Wow!  What an amazing Easter.  My church, Relevant Church, Ybor City, Tampa, had Easter service in the park downtown today.  I can't even begin to tell you what a feeling I had this morning, driving into downtown, then seeing the park for the first time with our church's signature everywhere.  I've been a member of this church for about 8 months, but I have never, ever, felt like such a part of a church family.  There is nothing I want more than to help with this church and to see it succeed.  I want to grow with it and love it.  I don't know why nor can I explain the connection I have.  All I do know is that God led me to Relevant for a reason, and I don't mind sharing it with anyone who will listen.  I cried a total of 3 times today while at the park.  I was overwhelmed by what God is doing in the life of Relevant, I was overcome by the message of a blessed Easter service, and I was overcome by the amazing power of God, who brought the dream of my church into reality today.  Keeping in mind, our church of about 500, prayed for a year for our goal of 5400, yes 5400, people to join us.  The initial rough number I've seen is 5560.  I remain overwhelmed by today.  4 weeks ago, we had a "mobile church service".  We piled into buses and went to the park and prayed as a congregation.  We picked up pieces of mulch all through the park, wrote the names of those we wished to have join us at service and/or wanted Jesus to show up in their lives.  The best part for me, 70% of the people I prayed for were at the park with me today.  There aren't enough words...
