Back to God`s Work Day 168

After many days of feeling reluctant to blog, I have a new connection to the word`s writer`s block, I`m back, hopefully to stay, but I know who`s in charge and its not me!



I prayed today with my wonderful friend Joan; praying your way into a new day with a friend is such a terrific way to start your day.



I have come to a new understanding of a statement that is often shared by many that are now retired, how did I ever work and get everything done? My friend, Sonya from church, no that`s not entirely true, my friend, Sonya from the open doors of my heart, called.



After a conversation about a committee that we plan to head-up on outreach. Oops, here`s a little something that disturbs me, the committee can`t be call evangelism because the E word sounds negative and offensive to some, get over yourself! It is what it is! Thanks for indulging.



Sonya and I prayed, back to work. Ring, ring, hi Pam how are you? As I have previously mentioned our church is going through a difficult time of growth and transition. In the midst of this ugly mess Pam, our youth director, has resigned(oops, another word that I`m having trouble with, but I`m not going there right now ) from her position. As a friend, my main concern is for Pam and her growth and well being. We ended our conversation in a spirit directed prayer of love, faith and hope!



Thank you God for the gift of prayer, was it just a short time ago that I wasn`t even sure how to pray?



One more call to make, I`m working on a field trip for the young girls in our church to attend The Revolve Tour in March. I called Jen Logullo, the youth director at a neighboring church, to extend an invitation to join our trip. Jim answered and I learned that their son was in the hospital.



Jim said that their son, I can`t remember his name, was diagnosed with a sever case of Crohns disease. Jim shared that they were so blessed to have gotten him to the hospital when they did!



I asked Jim if I could pray, he graciously accepted saying that this call was certainly a God send! Thank you God for your perfect timing.

Ephesians 1:9 And he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ.

How could I have ever doubted that God would take this prayer ministry from me? Guess He knew that I just needed a break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
