Words

     During a book study (on the Bible) that  I was involved with this Fall, I was encouraged to think about Women in my life who show me how to follow the Lord; both through words and example. I have had (and still do!) many examples of faithful women in my life that the Lord indirectly and directly uses to show me how to be a woman after God's own heart. I thank and praise him for this!

      One of these women is a sweet older (than me) lady in my small group named Carolyn. She is one of those people who doesn't talk a lot during study, but when she does....man...the Lord uses her words greatly! It's funny, I recently talked to one of my good friends about this and she immediately agreed and said "When she talks you have to be quiet and listen, maybe get a pen and paper to write it down." So true!

      A couple months ago she talked a lot during study (almost like she wouldn't shut up...in the best of ways!). Then I realized it was not a normal small group, but a Prayer night. She didn't shut up because she wasn't talking to us, but to the Lord of the universe; her Lord and Father.

She, by her constant witness, teaches me to:

- Talk less.
- Say more.
- Be boisterous in prayer.

I am so thank the Lord for her faithfulness...and his through her!

Thought of the morning

People may write about the Gospel better than me, but no one, NOT ONE can write about a better Gospel. Praise the Lord for that! Amen.










Because the sinless Savior died
My sinful soul is counted free.
For God the just is satisfied
To look on him and pardon me.
