I am feeling God calling me back to fulfill my ministries to my family




My husband is a treasure from God - but I know that I can take him for granted in so many ways. I want to take the time to invest my love in him this month and allow God to bless him through me. . . . I pray that in these small ways I can enable him to know just how much I love and cherish him.

I also want to make a more concerted effort to spend time every day investing the WORD into my children's hearts by having a scheduled devotional time with my children. I have always desired to have this time together worshipping and learning about the LORD, but I will now set aside a specific time everyday to make it happen. I am thinking that the time when we come home from school and have a snack together can become our time to feast on His Word also.

Last but not least, I want to stay true to my commitment to set aside time to spend with God in prayer and reading my Bible. I can't serve with an empty tank! I have finished reading the great and inspiring book Passionate Housewives, Desperate for God, and I am not in bondage anymore to thinking that my special time has to work a certain way/or be for a certain length of time. . . . but I hunger for more time in the Word and in prayer. I need to redeem the moments I let slip through my fingers as time spent pursuing God. . . .

These three things are vital, and if I am not striving towards the mark, I will not accomplish God's will in these areas. May God enable me to be found faithful.


Keep me in prayer!
