Leadership

Those of us who desire leadership, desire a good thing. I was reminded of this by j this morning at a the prayer meeting. I felt the lord was telling me to fight my corner, so I will prepare for it and I will be doing it. I want to teach and I want the training, so I am asking for it.

Better than some churches

I started the teaching on the trinity today and one of the ladies said in front of everyone that what I do is better than some churches. I am deeply touched by that.

Jews in the town

today I was on the bank run and having lunch, when I saw some Jewish boys in scull caps and the older boys wearing the floppy hats. I spoke to them and found that they are at camp at a local school. They are of course orthodox. I seem to have moved into a jewish phase again. Is the lord saying something to me?

Keswick and prayer

Today we were told about a woman who I heard on the Radio last Sunday. She is an elderly missionary doctor. She told the story about a baby who needed to be kept warm and therefore needed a hot water bottle. A 12 year old girl prayed that God would send a hot water bottle and then said, "By the way, send a dolly for the baby to." The missionary doctor had not recieved anything from Britian in 5 years, yet she did recieve a package and among the contents was a hot water bottle. When the 12 year old girl saw the bottle she put her hand in the package and said, "If God sent the hot water bottle, he must have sent a dolly to". As she said this, she pulled out of the package, a small doll."

What an encouragement it must have been to that doctor and to the girl. It certainly was to me that God listens to my prayers and answers them. I may not have all my answers now, but it it coming.

Problems

One never knows what a day will hold. I got up this morning full of the joys, only to be told about a big issue to do with an air com. I know the person concened will do his utmost to get things sorted, so I do not have any concern about that, and for a about a week, I felt a bit put out because my car will not start. I find that one thng will not get me down, two might start and if I have a range of little things then I really start to feel it. It just shows how one can be cast down in an instant. It is just as well that Jesus Christ is reliable. He never breaks down and only wants the best for us.

Car not starting

the car will not start. It makes a clicking noise. think it has an electrical fault. I need to either upgrade Greenflag or AA to get a relay service.

Daily Bread

I occassionaly use Daily bread. One of the entries is on patience. Psalm 130:5 " I waited for the lord, my soul waits, and in his word, I do hope. It then goes on to say that Jacob waited for Racheal, moses waited for 40 years for the call to lead Isreal and the isreal waited 40 years in the wilderness. Could my waiting be nearing an end? I think I have learned a lot in my lifetime of waiting.
