Off the wagon once again!

Okay....can we say "grrrr!". It has been quite a busy weekend. My husband left yesterday for work in Nigeria. He will be there for about a week and a half, then head to Singapore. He's a well traveled man, to say the least.

I haven't been praying the "21 Days of Prayer" like I should. I have to get back on track. I even see where it is affecting our oldest son. He is struggling with "being good" and discerning God's voice from temptations from Satan. We had a good talk tonight though. We even ended it with prayer. My commitment to him was to spend more time in the Word and in prayer. We also are going to do a morning devotion together over breakfast. I can't wait for the morning! I feel that God is going to do some great things in this family!

I am so blessed. Thank you, Lord, for all you have done for us. Help us to constantly be searching for ways to edify You and serve others!

Now, I am going to also be listening to some podcasts of the sermons at our Texas church. The series is "Practical Atheism". I think I read that the sermon Sunday was something about Dogs and Vomit. I can only imagine what the pastor spoke on! :)

Thank you , Lord, for mighty men like Pastor J and Pastor Z. We don't deserve to be under great leadership like this.....especially two pastors! But, God, You are all knowing. You know just what this crew needs!

Amen and Amen!

Spiritual growth is not running faster, as in more meetings, more Bible studies, and more prayer meetings. Spiritual growth happens when we slow our activity down. If we want to meet Jesus, we can't do it on the run. If we want to stay on the road of faith, we have to hit the brakes, pull over to a rest area, and stop. Christianity is not about inviting Jesus to speed through life with us; it's about noticing Jesus sitting at the rest stop. While the church earnestly warns Christians to watch for the devil, the devil is sitting in the congregation encouraging everyone to keep busy doing "good things."

Help me not be busy.....but be constantly aware of Your presence...and where You are working. Then and only then can I join You in your work! :)
