The advancements in medical science are truly amazing right now, and what is going to be unleashed over the next few years is likely to blow us away.

Another state has joined the biblical comeback. The Hill ran a very encouraging, counter-revolutionary story yesterday headlined, “‘The woke radicals will not like it’: Oklahoma releases Bible guidelines for schools.” Note: Fuller commentary is available here - see last article in the newsletter.

I enjoy being engaged with people in meaningful conversations. I can learn to ask GOOD exploratory questions which get people to open up and share about themselves, and I get to learn, and we enter into a deeper, friendlier relationship. But it is quite a skill learning to do this.

LaWanda - Oh, Jesus, the gloriousness of your love overwhelms me.  It covers me and fills me.  I praise you.  ♪♪ “Who is like you, Lord in all the earth?  Matchless love and beauty, endless worth.  Nothing in this world will satisfy.  Jesus, you’re the cup that won’t run dry.  Jesus, you’re the cup that won’t run dry.”♪♪  Thank you, Lord, that the water you give us is living water, that it is eternal.  And that there is an endless supply.

“Lord, what are the desires and dreams You have for my finances? Am I seeing them, pondering them, speaking them, and acting on them as You desire me to?”

I am a gardener. I love to grow vegetables and flowers. It is part of my heritage. My Father was raised on a farm my grandmother had a one-acre vegetable garden that she fed her family from. My parents always grew vegetables. There is something very soothing about being in the garden and getting your hands in the dirt.

I have recently enjoyed reading two books by Tony Stoltzfus: The Invitation and The Encounter Coach's Cheat Sheet. In another of Tony's books, I discovered the innovative list below of 12 ways God leads us.

I see God has used all twelve of these methods to reveal and confirm His will and destiny for my life. With permission from the author, I am sharing this helpful list with you for your edification and for you to share with others, helping them discern God’s gifting, leading, call, and destiny God has for them. Pursuing one’s God-ordained destiny is the KEY to an effective, fun, fulfilling, and abundant life!

LaWanda – O Lord, Jesus, you are calling Me to come close to you using obedience as the key, the way to get there.  O Lord, help Me to listen to you, to trust you and then to immediately obey you.  This is my heart’s desire, Lord, not because of what it will do for Me but because I want to honor you.  You have said that you want obedience more than sacrifice.  I know our works will never take the place of being obedient to your word, Lord, so please help me to obey.
