An update from my sister…
OK FRIENDS and FAMILY; I am letting you know my heart’s prayer~and so my need. I am Praying to arrive back in the Netherlands on March 23rd! I have not ever set a firm date, (and frankly this has to be flimsy yet faith filled…as I have to be fully funded before I can book my ticket.)
THE NEED: $1110/MONTH ~ left to raise!!!
Who will jump on board and join my Sending Team?!

Here is a little more about Brenda and the work she does…
My sister Brenda is a missionary to the Netherlands. She is almost fully funded. Would you consider helping her finish out her funding campaign so she can get back to the ministry in Zaandam?

I KNOW THIS IS AN ASIDE FROM THE MAIN MESSAGE OF GALATIANS, BUT WHO WOULD GOD HAVE YOU TO ENCOURAGE TO KEEP GOING TODAY? MAYBE YOU SHOULD GIVE’EM A CALL OR DROP ‘EM A LINE!
WHAT IS GOD DARING YOU TO DREAM? WHAT IS GOD CALLING YOU TO RISK?
One of my resolutions this year ( though it was a bit more organic than a listed resolution) was to begin to use Lillie-Put more effectively to build a culture of praise and worship around myself.
To that end I have instituted several new postings throughout the week:
MAGNIFICATION MONDAYS
TEHILLAH TUESDAYS
WORSHIP WEDNESDAYS
THANKFUL THRURSDAYS
FAITH-FILLED FRIDAYS
SHOUTIN’ SATURDAYS
&
SACRED SUNDAYS
HERE IS MY CHOICE FOR THIS FIRST THANKFUL THURSDAY. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ADD YOUR THANKSGIVING SONG IN THE COMMENTS SECTION BELOW.

The devotion I chose for this morning’s prayer team meeting at church was from Joel 2:12-13. It led me to ask the question, “What would God have you mourn for?“
The private devotional I am reading is David Nasser’s, A Call To Die. Today I read Day 12, “Death…. and Your Good Clothes”. I underlined several phrases in the lesson but the one that caught my attention above all the others was this… “How do we decide what needs to be discarded and what needs to be worn? The answer is found in another question. What breaks the heart of God?” p.126
Two very similar questions. I think God would have us mourn for the things in this world which break His heart.
Tonight in Bible study we came up with a list of things which break His heart.
Human pride which keeps us from obeying God’s commands.
Our refusal to take the time to pray.
Life’s distractions that keep us from God’s presence.
Fear.
Unwillingness to let go of false security to embrace the only real security there is in life.
I think all of these break the heart of God. What would you add?

WHAT WOULD GOD HAVE YOU MOURN FOR TODAY?
I am taking a cue from my friend Ben Nelson and am incorporating worship into my blog. Ben runs WORSHIP WEDNESDAYS.
So when you have listened here hop over there for some more devotional reading and worship. Happy Ash Wednesday!
