A few crazy weeks have led to the finale...graduation at WBS is this Saturday and we have all kinds of loved ones graduating...from Ethan and all our Haiti Heckmans coming, to Patrick and all our family Buckners, to Gaga Beth's son and his family to the final Friedeman graduating. We're about to have a FULL house and FULL table and a FULL four days, complete with a track meet for Lily, cheer tryouts for Sofie, a baseball tournament for Coach Matt and Ben and all the normal church things.
You can be praying for us while we celebrate and seek to love people well!
I read a powerful little line today on prayer, and it keeps coming back to me. Several prayer initiatives for the church have come to me again and again the last months, and yet busyness has given me many excuses: Leonard Ravenhill--"Poverty-stricken as the Church is today in many things, she is most stricken here, in the place of prayer. We have many organizers, but few agonizers; many players and payers, few pray-ers; many singers, few clingers; lots of pastors, few wrestlers; many fears, few tears; much fashion, little passion; many interferers, few intercessors; many writers, but few fighters. Failing here, we fail everywhere."
I have badly missed writing and am bringing it back...thank you for being my praying people.
Oh what a convicting quote. So true in my own life. Thankful my salvation and God’s plans do not rest on my shoulders - not saying that’s a get out of prayer card but that He has grace and His mercies are new every morning.
