Seads Planted

God is faithful. Always. He is good, even during hard and bad times. I am witnessing a great time of fruit being harvested from some seeds planted long ago. It is really amazing to watch, and even experience for myself. Prayers long forgotten are being answered for my friends. God is moving in great ways right now, and it really is amazing.

I began a Beth Moore Bible study last week, and I am so excited for it! I got the homework for the day done yesterday, and I wanted to do the next day. I am learning so much, and the content goes nicely with another book I am reading. Only my God...

I am being recognized as a leader in the community and in the Church. I have been asked to commit to help build a long term relationship with the ministry in Kenya I worked with this summer. "Laura can lead," I was told one morning when I showed up for the first day of a Bible Study. The group was too big and they wanted to divide it. I came to get fed, I thought to myself, but sure. Someone else stepped up, and I just get to be a participant now. My leader is one of my favorite of the retired ladies at my church. I'm super excited for this study!

Friends I have prayed for and with for years are turning their lives around. Much has happened in even the last month. I am reading this very intellectual book, called Hearing God by Peter Lord. He is a little long winded for me, but a friend picked it up off a bargain table and I have learned so much from reading it. And I have grown in my faith and understanding of my relationship with Jesus. It has been so wonderful! Knowledge truly is power.

I am so thankful to be able to see God's hand moving in my life and the lives of those I love. I have so many connections in my community, and a more clearly defined plan for my life and my mission. God sure is blessing me with everything I need. How could I ask for more?

I still fall down, and it still hurts some days, but I moving forward, and I'm making positive changes for the future and to increase the impact on my community and my world. God is good!
