I love Sundays! There is a lot going on most of the time but still it is packed with good stuff. Church in the morning is always a great experience. The music at our church is uplifting and inspirational. We have the greatest worship pastor who gives his whole heart to the work of God and you can hear that every Sunday in the music and his words of prayer. I went up to Kid's church and guess what the lesson was about??!?!? Bullying!! After what the week has been through with my teacher friend and her son I was blown away at the power of God to send a message that has been on my mind. The bare bones of the message was God will always provide a way out of trouble. It does sadden me to think that a child forgot this and decided to take his own life. I felt that God spoke just to me and told me to spread the word about this message.
Completely unrelated to church, I LOVE FOOTBALL!! I like college ball but I love NFL because I love to play fantasy football. My team is doing ok. I did not have a favorable draft so I have just had to piece my team together. My favorite NFL team is the Dallas Cowboys. This is because of where I grew up. The Cowboys of the mid to late 1970's were my team. We lived in Texas and that was the team my Dad liked and I grew up knowing all of the players names and positions and spending every Sunday watching them play. I don't know the cowboys as well as I use to but I will always be my team.
I love sports in general........Nascar, football, soccer, basketball, and so many others. I better because my husband and son sure do. Anyway the sports stuff will have to wait for another day!
We had our small group last night and it was very powerful. I know that we were made to worship and fellowship. God made us that way. He wants us to worship and fellowship with him. Our group took a little while to gel together but I think we are finally working out the kinks. There are some big things going on with our group we just need to be patient and listen to what God has to say to us. That is something that we don't do in this hustle and bustle world. Just sit back and wait.......how HARD is that!!!!!! We all go about our day talking and talking to God but how often do we sit back and listen. I am going to try to do that more. I have been working on that and it seems to be working. Something else that our wise leader mentioned to do was to pray specifically for people by asking what God wants us to do for a person (call them specifically by name). We tend to pray in unspecifics....Please keep the people of (some place) safe or Lord I just want to pray for the people in our small group. How cool would it be if we prayed for April, Jamie, Steve, Charlie and Brian by name and heard a word from God to give to that person. I can't wait!!!!

Yes, pray for people by name! Also, pray in Jesus' name for the person by name. I heard a story once that I'll have to share with you when I have more time, but when we come through Jesus - when we use His name and call on His name, the most high and most powerful one - All Ears are clearly open because we've chosen to recognize Jesus first as the one and the only way to get to God our Father. He is the way the truth and the life! Thanks for your prayers for me. I will pray for you too...I do all the time.
