Last night the Purpose class was great. I did not have the leaders notebook and Vicki did not show up to let me have the video capabilities, but God took charge and it was well received.
DAILY PRAYERS:
Prayed for 66 members of my family.

Prayed for the (9) personal requests that have been confidentially asked of me to pray.
Prayed forgiveness of any sin I may have committed. I pray for wisdom, guidance and ears to hear and for feet to follow.
Pray for our church to be a house of prayer and the prayer life of the congregation to be elevated.

BIBLE READING:
2 Corinthians 10
Verses 4 & 5 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
~~~ I must remember to Armor up each day and use the weapons our Heavenly Father provides! BOOK READING:
"Listening for God" by Marilyn Hontz
Today she talks about being prepared to verbally share my faith. Are we ready to do that ... what if someone came up to you and asked you how to know God or what is this thing about religion ... I think I might stutter ... so it impresses upon me to maybe practice. She prayed and told God that even though she did not see herself as a soul winner and it scared her somewhat ... she then asked God to send her an unsaved person! Watch out! God loves to answer that type of prayer.
MY CALL TO ACTION TODAY/MY TIME OF SILENCE NOTES:
Wow - this time of silence brought tears to my eyes. Actually they are running down my cheeks. As I think of sharing my faith, it also means perhaps finally telling my story. The Purpose class also brings this to light. When I was 15 I was raped and the only person until recently that even knew about it was my precious husband. My family still does not know. I guess I always felt it was my fault, but it certainly shaped my life of destruction for many years. Now 54 years later it is coming to the surface. I am still not sure I want many to know but it feels like it might be time to tell my sisters. That is all I can say for now.
Have a blessed day.
