Preparation …

As I am preparing for the fall, there is a place I love to go. I like to spend time in the Prayer Chapel at Liberty University.   Mike and I have prayed there many times for big things in our lives. And, every year before groups begin … before Bible study … before meeting with all the leaders … I linger in this chapel.  The walls are lined with bricks covered with the names of people who have prayed for the ministry.  This visual reminds me of all that God has done… and all that He can do. It is a time of reflecting and of prayer. A time of asking God to examine my heart to make sure I’m pursuing His vision and not my own. Is there a special place that you like to revisit when preparing for special times ahead in your life?

Lord, Settle my mind …

Do you ever have something racing in your mind? Earlier this week, I was awake almost all night with something on my heart.  I opened a book my friend, Dawn Turner, gave me and my spirit began to settle. In the quiet of the night I was able to meet with the “God who will provide.” On this night, I wasn’t needing physical provision – but wisdom.  I needed God’s answers.
