Prayer

I pray for God's protection and blessing on our family. I pray for His guidance and direction for our lives, and that we will be, as Stacy put it, "obedient in the small things as well as the big things.". I pray for Mickey and his family, our church, and our ministry. I pray that God will bring about tremendous change and revival within our youth ministry. I pray that our Cities will be radically changed for God and that our "land will be healed."

Praise

I praise God for His faithfulness and for the opportunity to serve Him.

Thanks

Thank you Stacy for an amazing message about discovering "whose we are?," before discovering who we are. I choose to be Christ's and I'm all in!

Thought

Although the idea of a serf captures what we owe Christ, He purchased our freedom rather than our service. We have a choice to accept His calling to be free in Christ or remain chained in the bondage of sin. To serve Christ is an honor and privilege, but it remains a choice of our free will.

Reading

I am reading John Ortberg's the me I want to be, and it is talking about living in such a way that the Holy Spirit flows freely through one such that it over flows and spills out onto and into the lives of others. This is my prayer and commitment that my life will be over flowing with the presence and love of Jesus through His indwelling Spirit in me.

Romans 15:13 (NLT)
(13)I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.
