Part of my family of friends and co-prayers....what would I do without your encouragement.After feeling somewhat overwhelmed, well, downright flattened, I know where to look for strength and so there I go. Not always seeing immediate results, I am reminded that He keeps no clock. And especially not mine. My burdens are the friends and family around me that can't carry their own. As I woke up this morning an hour before the alarm went off, and prayed for those I care about, I realized how many of those people on my list are out of work. They comprise almost 50% of my prayer requests! I thought, WOW.....I want to encourage as many of them as are able to pray....pray with me...and believe. I read the book of James last night and was reminded again, my faith does count for something, and my prayers do move mountains. Imagine the prayers of the many.....He is just waiting to hear from us. So I encourage you.....put on your armor today.....and believe God. His promises are promises! He does hear his children!!
Now I'm off to the kitchen to bake the rest of the cookie dough I made last night for the students. Yeah, my students are adults but they never tire of home made cookies. And I've found since I can't work in the garden, making cookies and giving them away makes me feel better. And since I am a woman and can multitask......Praying while baking works great!
