Time

Wow!  I can't believe it has been five months since I last posted an update.  Life has had me busy doing instead of being.

Praise God for anwered prayer in many areas of my life.  Family, work and relationships all seem to be doing pretty well.  Does that mean I have arrived? Well, since I wasn't raptured on the 21st, apparently not.  Speaking of which, we must pray for those who lost sight of the truth and swallowed a lie.  Pray that our merciful Lord will restore them to truth.  We must be gentle and not mock those who stepped off the path for the reality may prove too much and send them into depression or other mental ailments that could destroy their faith.

In SE MI, there is a massive outerach effort happening right now called EACH - everyone a chance to hear.  My heart has been broken for the lost since the day of my salvation.  I have not always heard the whisper of God prompting me to share Christ with someone mostly because I was too absorbed with my own problems and for that I am sorry.  Are you praying for your community?  Your neighbors?   Your co-workers?  They need you!

Pastor Camping may have been wrong on the date our Lord will return, but Jesus WILL return and we will have to give an account of the life that He so freely gave us. 

Stay strong in the faith, and know that you are loved. ><>

Praying for the lost

It is becoming more and more difficult to carve out specific time for prayer.  I find myself praying on the fly, which means that I am not quiet in my spirit and not able to receive fully what God has for me.  I don't like to make New Year's Resolutions, but maybe in this case it may help push me to find "alone" time with the one I love.  His word encourages me to do that, but I need help accomplishing this.

One area I have dedicated time to (even on the fly) is praying for a giant outreach that will take place around Easter of 2011.  It is called Everyone A Chance to Hear (EACH) and it involves around 300 churches in the metro Detroit area and beyond.  I am praying for revival, for protection of the leaders of the church involved, for more people to cover this undertaking with prayer, for God to soften people's hearts so they may receive His word and for unity among the Body.  I am praying for God's direction on what part He wants me to play, and for creativity to execute His plan.
