How are you doing with your patience? Have you used your time waiting to pray for those around you? We will talk about how we handle our patience.

How is your patience with God?

At the end of our last discussion I asked the following question, What experiences in your life have taught you the most about your faith? This is where our next discussion will begin.

Also, think about how those experiences help you teach others about Jesus.

This week we talked about service to others. According to Matthew 25:40, this service is uncalculated, simple and for Him. See God Sightings in your service this week.

Next meeting (4/19)

At our last meeting I asked everyone to keep track of their service to others and to pray over those each night/morning. How are you doing?

We will be talking about Matthew 25:40-45 on Monday, April 19.

Also, we will be talking about our skills and talents.

See you Monday at 6:30 PM in the parlor.

Monday 3/22

For those that were unable to attend yesterday's meeting. Here is what we discussed:

1. How we react when we are called to action. Like Moses (reluctantly) or like David (confidently).
2. We discussed how we need to act like in the parables of the talents. We are nourished by God's word when we open the bible and act upon his word.
   
3. We discussed discernment and evaluation in our acceptance of our call.
4. The difference between needs and wants. How we confuse the two. We have needs but are our needs fulfilled.
5. Towards the end of the meeting we did an exercise on problem solving. The process starts wit what we know!

I will post scriptures that we used soon!

Share your God Sightings with others by posting.

I'm still learning how to do this! Couldn't add to my draft so I just posted it.
To finish my statement...keeping in touch with God isn't the issue in my life right now.
I'm just not sure what He is willing to do for me and what I am expected to endure in this life.
And, I'm not always quick to obey his advice, but He never moves.
Lately, I've been asking Him to speak through me boldly. Sometimes, I open my mouth, other times I let my insecurity and Satan's lies rule the moment.
Listening today....stay home and drink lots of fluids. Praying for you all tonight.
Keep me posted on the next assignment and what I missed tonight.
Confident that my honesty will eventually fill me with His peace today.

Didn't ask for prayers for healing

At Sunday evening worship, I had the opportunity to go forward for prayer, but I didn't. I was struggling with my own insecurity--my family prays for me all the time, isn't that enough? Would God really heal me? I've felt his healing touch at times, but I feel like a whiner going back again and again. I had a virus last week. As usual, it has settled in my weak lungs. Sorry that I won't be there tonight. I was looking forward to it. I feed on his word every day and talk with Him day and night
