Last night, when meeting with the Elders all of a sudden my computer would not turn on. My carefully prepared Power Point.... not available... a last minute attempt of the evil one to thwart God's plans and frazzle me to an extend that I would not be able to present well what I think is His calling on my life...
( some might say that my Macbook just had a bad moment.... and then again, only those without a Macbook could ever even imagine that.... I have NOT have had any trouble with my computer and I do not have any trouble now....)
Long story short.. there I was, in a room with a huge amount of men... could have been intimidating... but it wasn't... I tried as good as I could to make my presentation from memory ( and that is me... remember the purse...yeah...) I think I covered the material well enough and asked them to please pray to find out if this is really from God and not just my idea...
The response I got was encouraging and now these godly men will pray and seek God earnestly in their capacity as the leaders of the church, the church which is my home... my family... they are the head of that family and when they responded to me and prayed for me I felt loved and secure...
Leaving I was overwhelmed by an emotion of thankfulness and love... it was Worship Team Practice night and I snuck into the sanctuary to praise Him for showing me His love and care in such a tangible way.... the picture of the fireplace and the cozy and safe home... you guessed it... that's how I felt last night.... Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.. in His great mercy He has made me His own.. and He will ALWAYS take care of me... both now and forever more.....
