Courtney ... serving in Thailand

Courtney ... serving in Thailand

Last week our family listened to Courtney Vestal share her testimony of serving in Thailand this summer.   This vibrant-beautiful young woman spent her summer building relationships with hurting women exposing them to the love of Christ.   At the close of Courtney’s testimony she prayed and asked the Lord to help us be a part of things He would want His name “tagged to”…

Had to think…would Jesus want His name “tagged” to my actions?

Lord, Jesus, help me to intentionally attach myself to the groups, people, and actions that please you.

Hebrews 13:16 “And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.”

Scheduling

calendarJuly 31st … Proverbs 31 conference. August 10th..hair appointment with Kelly at Arte’ Dei Capelli (essential)… leader retreat September 12th at Master’s Inn … September 18th Women’s Ministry is going to New York City…   October family getaway at the beach…  November 11th  National Women’s Ministry Forum. Does your calendar look like mine? Throw in the start of school…football season (Roll Tide)…  and then, remember, there are only 157 days til Christmas.  Whew! It books quickly.

Have you considered putting prayer on your calendar?   This Wednesday afternoon at 1 p.m., I’ll meet my best buddies and we’ll pray for the things closest to our hearts.  We’ve met for 10 years and we’ve seen prayer after prayer answered. God has changed us as we’ve seen Him actively work in the lives of our families.

We need to talk with Jesus everyday and throughout the day – but how about scheduling an extended appointment with Him.  Talk about peace and refreshment… that is what you’ll get.  Before you fill in your calendar (or someone else does for you)… before the apple festivals… teacher conferences… dentists… and fall sports banquets… even before the last hoorah of summer…How about putting down a prayer date?
