Hey guys,
I want to encourage everyone who is free to come to prayer meeting tonight. We have a home group leaders meeting tonight that coincides with the prayer meeting and I think Tom is going to take a opportunity to pray for the leaders. I can always use prayer and at this point in my life I really need it. I may try to call a couple people to remind them of the meeting.

Check Bob's Blog
AHHHH! Robert called this morning and I got to talk to him! (she writes as she runs around the apartment waving her hands in the air ala Home Alone and screaming with joy). hahaha! Check out his blog - he had a chance to write some stuff today. Craig and Barb - seriously - after reading it - the idea of "You really mean all they need is PEOPLE!? just gets worse... are you sure you don't want to go? ;-)

say a prayer please
Hey guys,
I just wanted to ask that you would say a prayer for me. There has been a couple of things that have happened the last two days that I could use some intercession for.
1)Yesterday I discovered that my debit card/MC number had been stolen and someone over seas has drained my account. This was the money that I have been running on until I get the job that God has in store for me.
2)Today my grandmother called me and asked if I could come over so she could talk to me. When I got there she told me that she didn't have anyone else to talk to and then she broke down into tears. My heart is breaking for her and I was extremely humbled by the fact that my grandmother had broken down in front of me. Don't get me wrong I am glad that I was able to be there for her but to see her in that condition was awefully hard to take.
The short version of why she broke down has to do with my Uncle who is in the nursing home who she has taken care of for over 10 years. He is complaining that they are mistreating him there (we have found no solid evidence of that yet), and he keeps saying that he wants to come home. My grandmother has no way to take care of him but she wants to bring him home. As she said "I just can't let another brother or sister die alone, it's to hard!" I am very concerned that her health is suffering due to the stress on her, she just doesn't look good.
I am praying that God would give me wisdom for this situation and peace for my grandmother.

What's your calling?
OK , I expect to hear from everyone on this subject.
As you know Tom has started a new series with Sunday night clinics based around this subject. We are exploring the opportunities and giftings that God has placed within our lives. Now I was greatly moved and encouraged by those of you there that the Lord has spoken something into your lives. As you friend and as your home group leader I am not going to allow you to give me superficial answers here. I really feel strongly that a couple of you already know what the Lord is telling you to do and you are apprehensive for one reason or another. I can fully understand and relate to that, but, you must know that I will do my best to keep you accountable to what the Lord has spoken into your life. We (as a home group and church) will not let you go thru this alone and we will be with you every step of the way.
As most of you know my heart is in missions. I am talking about cross-cultural missions (is there any other kind???). I have for a couple of years now had this vision that at some distant "family reunion" there would be a gathering of people from around the world that would reunite at this church for that occasion. Now I fully realize that not everyone is called to missions. Let me rephrase that, not everyone is called to GO, everyone is called to missions!!!!! With that stated I want you to earnestly seek the Lord in what it is He would have you do, do not be afraid to fail. If God is calling you to do something He will both make a way and equip you for that.
With that I hope to see a lot of activity on this thread. Thank you and God bless.
