Yeah! Yippee! I'm not alone. Caacie, your surprise will be in the classroom Sunday.

Hey!

I hope you are all having a great week! We had another great turnout for Visitation....and we are making progress trying to find some of our ladies!

Thank you for your faithfulness to go and invite...God is in charge of the results.

I will be out of town this Sunday. We are making a fast trip to St. Louis for my parent's renewal of their vows. Please pray for our safety.

Linda C. will be teaching. Linda loves the Lord, and I know that she will be a blessing to you. Please pray for her as she prepares.

I'll see you all soon..

Visitation

We have Visitation on Wednesday! We will be organized and ready to roll to make certain we are back by 8:00. I hope you will join us. We have lots of ladies to make contact with.

Q.O.W. (Question of the Week)

Here's something to think on this week...
When you read of Jesus' miracles in the Bible, what do you think about? Are they simply stories that you have read, or do they have greater implication for you today?

I know I have this bad habit of talking to myself. Anyone who is around me much has probably heard me...But that is not what I want this blog to be. I can tell by the counter that people are checking in, but nobody's commenting! Don't be shy....

Romans 8:28

I know that Romans 8:28 is one of those bumper sticker verses that people use and misuse all the time, but I do think the principle can be applied in many ways. I want to share one of the small, yet glorious, ways that I see this principle being played out in my life.

At the beginning of the Small Group year, Bro. David asked us all to share our testimony with the class, but also to write it out and turn it in to him. Now, I've already shared in class that everytime I do that I have an even greater awareness and understanding of my great salvation! I see more of how God drew me each time I contemplate my testimony.

But, I am also seeing how God works that time of reflection on my own salvation to prepare me to share it! And today, I have a lady coming to visit me whose life is falling apart around her. As I thought about the meeting and began to plan what I might share with her - it hit me! She's me! She's where I was 13 years ago. So, I am going to share with her the verses God used to show me my need of a Savior from Mark Chapter 4.

God has often worked together my quiet time with the opportunities He gives me that day. And I can't count the times that I have been meditating on a Scripture and then the preacher mentions it in a sermon, or we sing a song in church and later that week I 'stumble' upon the Bible verse that was the basis of the song.

I know Romans 8:28 has much larger implications, but today I am grateful for the little winks I get from God when He works together my relationship with Him and the events of life. To think that the God of the universe would engage in my little life!
