Ladies, the finish line is in sight! Let’s run the rest of this race marked out for us. What a privilege this has been, you guys.
I think I told you guys recently that I’d gotten a new Bible. I absolutely love it. I always choose one Book of the Bible to read through carefully when I get a new one and this time I chose the Book of Acts. I’ve been so incredibly inspired by it. The verse I’m memorizing this time is for the sake of prayer. (Do you guys often use your memory verses in prayer, turning them into intercession? It really stirs up my faith and my strength.) I’m praying that what happened when Peter was in the midle of bringing the Scriptures to attentive listeners will happen in our environments, too. I’m praying this for my pastor and those who hear the Scriptures through him. I’m praying it for myself and for those I’m privileged to serve. I now pray it for you and those you teach and encourage with the Word of God.
Beth, Houston. “While Peter was still saying these things, the Holy Spirit fell on all who heard the Word.” Acts 10:44 ESV
Lord, let it be! Drench Your listeners with Your Spirit! While we are right in the middle of sharing the Scriptures, fall on every single person who hears. I want this so much. I want a fresh anointing, don’t you? I think our God is willing to give it. Let’s ask Him boldly! All we have to do is make absolutely certain that He gets every ounce of credit. Oh, what He’d be willing to do if we jealously guarded His glory and humbled ourselves as slaves of God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ok, Girls. How about yours?
I love you so much.

Thank you Carolyn for this verse. Our family is heavy in heart over a tragic death of a family member. This verse is so true for those who keep their focus on Christ and His perfect will.

Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

Romans 8:1-2 ESV
Jude 1:22 NLT “and you must show mercy to those whose faith is wavering.”
in preparation for thanksgiving, reminding my soul to meditate on His INCREDIBLE goodness.. love the beginning of the same psalm which says: “Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy.” Even if we had nothing else to be thankful for, which is impossible, our salvation is reason enough to praise Him. but the script I am memorizing is:
“Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness,
And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
For He satisfies the longing soul,
and fills the hungry soul with goodness.”
Psalm 107:8-9 nkjv
Certainly is my testimony this year, to His great glory!
