    Yahweh opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, "What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?" Balaam said to the donkey, "Because you have mocked me, I wish there were a sword in my hand, for now I would have killed you." The donkey said to Balaam, "Am I not yo...

    Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of his chariots, saying, "Don't fight with small nor great, except only with the king of Israel." When the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they said, "It is the king of Israel!" Therefore they turned around to fight against him. But Jehoshap...

Behind The Scenes

  • But he answered, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God. Matthew 4:4 ESV

    After months out of work, the days counted down until we were about to move out of our home. Meanwhile on the other side of town, someone else came into work each morning with a nagging feeling that they should have a pastor on staff, but put it off a little longer.

    Having been told that I would be in the ministry over twenty years ago, I had graduated seminary and then just waited. By now I had long since given up on that closed door and worked as a computer network tech until that suddenly dried up.

    Finally the day came when God insisted they hire a pastor. It was the day before we were preparing to leave the state. They posted a help wanted ad looking for a pastor with computer and website skills. As we were getting ready to leave home that morning, I had a sudden urge to check the job lists again. I saw the ad and within fifteen minutes of his posting, I had replied to it and we hit it right off. Suddenly I was a full-time pastor.

    After years of waiting, I was now in the ministry full time and it was all through very subtle promptings that would have been easy to miss. It was that nagging feeling that you should do something, for me, and for them. Don't give up when things take longer than they should. God is working behind the scenes and when everything lines up, it will happen.

    Prayer: Father I pray that you will give me a clear vision for my life and correct my path as needed. I submit to You. Take my life and use it Lord, in the name of Jesus.

    Note: Good morning! For those who may have missed the Announcements, there is no Bible Study for this week, but we will continue as usual next week. We are taking a short "staycation" for our anniversary :). For those who would like to catch up, here is the link to the past chapters: RHM Bible Study

So I'm not just a stay at home Mother and grandmother, I'm a prayer warrior. I'm human, I make mistakes, but I pray, pray, pray. God is Good and he does answer Prayers, on his own time. That time is perfect. Thank you Lord for letting me be able to have a good mind and can pray for others. Amen

I needed to pray this prayer today. I'm 59, retired and disabled, and have no purpose or direction. I had to be reminded that if I keep seeking, asking, and knocking, God will guide me and put me where He wants me to be! Thanks once again, Pastor Dion!
