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!
