Decisions

Lord,

There are some interesting and hopeful decisions to be made on the horizon which I am very grateful for. Please help me to be discerning, and not go by my emotions and reactions which can get this woman into trouble. Give me the strength that can only come from you to finally get to the end of this stronghold (or whatever it is!) in my life. And as I negotiate the highways and byways of this world, please protect me and give me sound judgment and wisdom.

Thank you so much for helping me in leading this Bible study. Thus far, even with a rotten cold, the studies have gone well, the discussions bright and lively and interesting. Being a leader forces you to learn more and I love that because, as you know dear Father, I tend to be a slacker and a skimmer at times (it's this hard wired laid back attitude you gave me!). But there has been some great feedback thus far which can only lead me to believe you are in fact able to work through this weak vessel. Praise God for that!

Give Merry the strength (after speaking all weekend at another women's retreat) to give the message today before Pastor Kent gets back. I see you working in her life way beyond the church and I can only hope I can do the same at some point.

I hear there is one more cool front pushing into hot and humid Florida and Lord you know I am grateful for relief from being ever "moist" with any movement whatsoever.

God is good all the time. All the time God is good.

Amen.
