Hey, Sweet Things! I’m a mighty long way from home in Fresno, California and looking so forward to getting into the Scriptures and into some passionate praise and worship with these West-side women. I love knowing that Priscilla is in Florida this weekend serving at her first simulcast and we are on the opposite side of the continent with our Living Proof Live. You wouldn’t waste a prayer on either one of us.
This will be a record setting post – my shortest ever! Wish so much I could tarry here and visit with you but, Sister Girl, my hands are FULL. Oh, how I pray you are sticking with your Scripture memory. Don’t give up! God will bring a harvest if we persevere and see it all the way through. I love my selection this go round. If you don’t know what you want to memorize for Verse 7, you are welcome to share mine. Here goes!

Mamma Beth, it’s me Meggie from Colorado Springs you haven’t seen my post because my heart is almost to heavy to type. One of my dearest and sweetest friends & former ministry partners has gone missing. March 31 she took her dog “Happy” for a walk, in the afternoon and she hasn’t been seen since. Happy was found the next morning but it has beeen almost a week and there are no signs of my sweet Debbie.
I also have no new verse to memorize this two weeks. I keep looking and just sob I can’t find one.
Will you please pray for Debbie’s family, she is the mom of the adult children and one still in High School. She is an amazing woman of God. She has many friends who are hurting too. We want her back safe and sound.
I really wanted to be 24 for 24 again this year but all I am coming up with is “Jesus wept.” does that count?
Thank you,
Meggie
you don’t have to publish this.
I am praying your friend be found!! God is right there with her…
Love, Shelia
