Hello everyone! Wow the summer is coming to a close and I look forward to cooler weather as I am from Rockwall, TX- 25 miles east of Dallas. It has been very hot and dry this summer, but this is normal for us. It was so great to meet everyone in June and I am looking forward to our meetings each week. As we begin my heart and soul is open to receive whatever the Lord desires to place there. Of course my weak human nature brings me to second guessing but we have to swat those negative thoughts aside and say “get behind me Satan”. God is so good for as He lets these temptations to doubt come forth, He also provides a way forward. For me He gave me a phone call soon after prayer yesterday morning that lifted my spirits for it was a person who was seeking to share and needed a listening ear and advice from someone more familiar with the path. I realized afterward that this lifted my spirit and energized me. I’m only sharing this so that we all may watch for these little gifts and encounters from God, through others He sends to us, that confirm are “yes” to follow His plan. It is only in Christ and through the Holy Spirit that I remain open and docile.
As I find myself in a new state in life as a widow, I see that I am being better prepared to serve God and my brothers and sisters in the Kingdom, according to His good pleasure, despite my flaws.
May the Holy Spirit come powerfully upon all of us as we begin this new endeavor and help us to encourage one another on this journey. Thank you all for your “yes” and most especially for Tesa and Jeannette for their huge Yes to be our instructors. See you soon!
