(Just checked--27 minutes left. I spent some time in Wordpress.com on Bill's and Wanda's Journey.)
Random order--no particular significance:
- Work: I meant what I said to Moin (Muttakin, MD). I am grateful that I still have, and will have, a job. The proposed hours are horrible, though. Father, I trust You to choose and arrange the right schedule for me and George. I would like to continue with my private client ministry and with MOPS, which is going to an evening meeting time. What do You want for me?
- Church: How do I say this? Is it all right that George and I are glad to see the current assistant/associate pastor leaving in a month? We have not yet met the new pastor, who is remarkably young (32!) compared to us. :) Please, please bless him and the church and the new relationship between them that will be forming. Let it get established on a great foundation; let everyone get off on the right foot. And, particularly, please let him be sensitive to children's ministry. He has three preschool boys of his own; that's a good indicator, I hope. Which leads me to...
- ...Junior Church: Ah, yes, the times, they are a-changin'! We've got the month of July coming up when we will be having a large-group assembly followed by a split period for preschoolers and elementary schoolers. I chose Group Publishing's Kids' Own Worship curriculum mostly because a) it says it spans Preschool through Grade 6 and b) I had to make a decision in a hurry. Father, these are Your babies. Bless this ministry for the summer for the children, their parents, the teachers and helpers, and the entire Body of Christ, please?
- Bill: Of course. And Mom, of course. Cancer--treatment--anxiety--energy and endurance--for them both.
- My daughters: They are serving You at Lakeside, Father. Keep them close to You (and to each other, too, perhaps). I am particularly desirous of fellowship for Julie, who does not get as much spiritual support at college as Amy did (I think). Encourage and energize them both. Amy has a lot of responsibility on her young shoulders. I think this is fantastic experience for her, especially in preparation for her (currently) chosen professional path. And we'll see them this weekend!!! (Lord willing, of course. :) )
- Mary Ann: Where did that come from? We're not sure where she is with regard to her relationship with You, Father. Any opportunities You bring we'll take. My prayer is that You bring opportunities and overcome the opposition of the enemy. It's been a long time since we have had a good, deep, spiritual conversation with her.
