Prayer...

Thank you Lord, for listening to the prayers of your people.

It meant so much to hear Victoria pray for this project during the Monday morning staff meeting at EC. There is something special, wonderful, frightening, and humbling about people involving themselves in a vision. It makes you fragile, gives you strength, encourages you, challenges you all at the same time.

I spoke on the phone with Dan and Kathie last night (16 Jan 06). We prayed about the meeting that Paul Branson and I would have today. I prayed about perspective. From our point of view, we see puzzle pieces, one at a time revealed to us in God's time. At times I try to force pieces in the wrong spots or in the wrong puzzle altogether! I am so thankful that God sees a beautiful picture with a master plan! Dan and Kathie spoke of "freeing people up" to do God's work, including people like myself. I don't know the what or the when of that, and to be honest, I'm not worried about it. It would be a blessing to work in a full-support raised mission and depend on God more, if I am called to that. If not I will continue to serve God at EC and in the community.
