Prayed for 40 church members by name

Prayed forgiveness of any sin I may have committed. I pray for wisdom, guidance and ears to hear.

PRAISES AND BLESSINGS:
I have so worried about new people coming in and not getting a good basic start in their walk with the Lord, so I have been writing a class ... made the outline and started with Who is God!  I had looked for a good starting book and did not find one ... until Sunday! Vicki had "Christianity 101" book in Sunday School. I took it home, read it and to my amazement it follows my outline exactly!!   I am going to start teaching a Sunday night class for new Christians. This is such a blessing because it has been on my heart for years.
It was a blessing to be given the nearly outdated foods from the pantry to give to Micah and Ashley. It was just the Lord placing me there that made that happen. Vicki was going to take them to her daughter until she saw me and asked about the kids. They were truly blessed.

BIBLE READING:
1 Corinthians 10
Verse 13 ... God is faithful, and he will not let you be tested beyond your strength, but with the testing he will also provide the way out so that you may be able to endure it.
Pretty self explanatory!!!

BOOK READING:
"Listening for God" by Marilyn Hontz
Some people do not believe they will hear the voice of God. Unbelief can keep a person from hearing from God. If that is the case, they should ask the Lord to help with their unbelief.
Mark 9:24 "Immediately the father of the child cried out, "I believe; help me with my unbelief."

MY CALL TO ACTION TODAY:
Evaluate all the things I am doing at the church to see which ones feel most effective and then to plan out a time for each one to be sure I am doing my 110% best at each.
I also need to get back to walking my neighborhood as that is my best "listening for God" time.

Have a blessed day.
