Spiritual leadership

Hello there. I was first told about this opportunity to bring my nieces to church with me about four or five years ago, and I'll admit, I was excited and scared at the same time because I did not know what it means to be a spiritual leader in my family, but God worked it out where all three of the little angels are excited about coming to church. One of them was baptized into Christ on 6/22/08. Now comes the real work. Praying that God will protect Jennifer from all of the darts that Satan loves to throw at new converts. Peace out and God bless!

Isolation, Solitude, and Surrender

Hello again. I apologize for not blogging you all sooner. I've had an adventuresome couple of months to say the least. I've had some personal problems to deal with plus I have been in isolation for a while because I feared that if people really knew what was going on with me, I would feel vulnerable to being hurt, judged, etc. I now realized that I need to be more dependent on God than ever. I also realized that I have people in my life that love me, care for me and are willing to listen to me if I just take a chance and let Christ guide the way. i have prayed for God's forgiveness when I leave Him because I know for a fact He has not left me. I also had a chance to reflect on the quiet time that I am spending with God now and it's not easy, but I keep doing it. I need your prayers because I can to a certain extent overextend myself when it comes to serving in the Lord's church. I pray that God will give me the wisdom to know when to say no to some things. I want to surrender to His authority in all phases of my life. Peace.
