Today I am thankful for: beautiful sunshine, a smooth 1st day solo in 2nd grade ministry, praise music on my iPod, another nap!, another great sermon at church, my 1st time carving pumpkins, my kids enjoying church so much, Darrin wanting to snuggle, Madi eating fairly well, cool evening air
Pastor Chuck spoke today about end times. Everything he shared about events in our world today and backed up with scripture was eye-opening. I have felt we were beginning to see signs of end times, but couldn't really articulate why. Now I can! What really stood out for me was when he shared about a group that feels strongly that they can reach the remaining people groups in the world with the gospel in about 14 years' time. Wow! And just thinking about current technology and how far it's come in the past decade, I'm wondering if that projection might change and the number of years be fewer. All I can truly say is Lord don't tarry! I feel I'm doing my part--for now--in raising my children to know and serve God. But I know that this isn't enough. I pray for boldness and wisdom to share with friends, for the heart and resources to reach strangers. This is the hardest thing for me, and I hate that it seems so hard!! God, please open my eyes to opportunities to share Your love and gospel with others. Give me the boldness to share and the wisdom to know what to say and how and when. Help me reach others in your name!
