Today, I have begun with the Syllabus for Public Speaking 303. I started in prayer. I know; that seems to be a logical start for a Christian, but in the past I might have assumed that this was the job I had and so I'd assume that God wanted me to do the work. TODAY, however, I'm learning that even good, right work that I have been called to MUST have His energy, His annointing to be what He wants. There's this huge gap between the gifts He's given me and the effective implementation of those gifts into the lives of other people. After all, it may sound like a cliche' when I say I want my life to glorify God, but the actual being created in Christ Jesus for work which He has ordained that I should walk in comes through prayer and dependence on Him.
Now, can anyone share a successful attempt to post to this site? I've had one friend tell me she found it difficult.
Dear Aunt Val,
ReplyDeleteThank you for creating this blog and for sharing the link with me. I enjoyed reading your posts, and I'm thankful to be updated with your ministry. How exciting that God is leading you back to Africa to teach for six weeks! I understand what you mean when you say "There's this huge gap between the gifts He's given me and the effective implementation of those gifts into the lives of other people," but please rest assured that I will be thinking of and praying for you often. I see the gifts He's showered you with, and I trust He will use them effectively -- to plant seeds if not to reap a gigantic harvest. Thank you for letting us vicariously go to Africa with you through this blog. Looking forward to hearing more news. Ps. 63.
Love,
Katie
I can only imagine what a cup of cold water comments like yours will feel like in a little over a month now. Today I prayed for Annie, Bindaweh, Boye-Nelson, Samuel Leeneh, and Folley. since I am reading Eph now I used that as the basis of what to pray. Thank u again love u!
