Last night, we had a friendly gathering of dinner and talking at the Vickery's. Some people brought Bibles, the word Jesus was used a few times and prayer was offered but overall we were just friends hanging out and "doing life together." There were several announcements and updates from our friends and I left with a since of pride. Some of the announcements were just to be shared amongst friends and not open to the public but just let me say that God is using people that open their hearts to him! Many hurt, lost and desperate people will be touched in Jesus name as my friends follow the calls God has placed on their lives. I am curious to see where we will be one year, five years or ten years from now. Please pray for all of us as we take risks, give more time to God, get nervous, lose sight and refocus, work through details, deal with family memebers, gain strength and most importantly love and forgive as Christ has shown us.
well said :o)
