What I need from You

This is a great country! We have the freedom to study the Bible without fear. I am so very grateful for all the churches and ministries that are working hard to make studies available to us all through the many avenues of their pursuing.

Currently I have found myself needing more though. I need more than an in-depth study of the temple, more that a weekly discussion of a book I have just read and more than a coffee and chat about your kids. What I need is you to pray over me to listen to me to share life with me on a deeper level. I need to trust you with my pain and fears. I need to know that you are being real and remaining faithful to follow the Lord. I need to be able to call you when I am in the middle of it all and know you are going to stop and pray for me then and there. I need to know that if the Lord gives me counsel for you that you aren't going to brush it off, but trust it is given with consideration of you and in obedience to the Lord. I need the opportunity to be available to you for prayer when you are in the middle of it. And, yes, I do want to have coffee with you and hear about your kids.

So what do you need from those women in your life who flit by on Sunday or Wednesday church gatherings? How are you going to go about meeting those needs? And when are you going to do it?

Updates

Sorry for the long break in writing! I have had so amny changes in the last few months that the time to write never seemed right. My Mother is now living with us and that is goig well. She is a joy to have in the house and a great help! My hubby graduated and is now working at the job we moved for. His first day of orientation only lasted 2 hours as the hopspital was 3 CRNAs short and he had to work all day, instead of get a tour and find the bathrooms! Yeikes! We also have a young Mom living with us. She has a month old baby girl and has been here just over a week. In all the changes and preparations for those changes we were on the hunt for a church to attend. So far we have come up short. Lots of great congregations in our area, but not the one we see the Lord leading us to commit to.

Whew! I have learned alot in these past months and I am still learning thingsd daily. I need the Lord so much more than I could ever imagine! He is a delight to me and I pray you also know the joy of being in His hands!
