Good Morning Refreshed in Christ Co-Laborers! Amen! He leads us beside the still waters and restores our souls! PTL! Often that refreshing comes through us as we come alongside a fellow traveler who has become weary or downcast. We are gifted to not only grow God's Church but to encourage and bless each other. How's the fruit of that ripening in your life today? Jesus promises rest to the weary traveler that comes to Him and dons His easy yoke. He reminds us that He is gentle in spirit. How often do we wrongly view God as a harsh task master or demanding boss. That is NOT His nature. So, stop striving in your own strength and understanding or trying to meet some standard God has not set for you. Allow Him to renew your thinking and lead you to green pastures and refreshing waters of His grace and mercy. Go live and love like Jesus and encourage some others who need to feel God's loving presence through you. You are created, gifted, empowered and sent for such a time as this! PTL! Go! Love! Be renewed!

I am still struggling some with my health and sleep. BUT GOD! He is hearing our prayers and delivering me from the evil one and my season of weariness. PTL and thank you! Keep praying and let us be committed to coming along side each other, encouraging each other and helping each other to redirect and choose the best, healing, and refreshing paths. I actually had a great night of sleep going until the thunder around 1. Then the dogs tripped out and awoke us in nervous panting and crying. It's cool though because I had been sensing God wanted to talk. I have had little in me to spend deep time with Him this past month and today may have been a break through with that. PTL! I need to be refreshed and am readying for a very busy week ahead as our mid-week ministries fire back up, I have Anna Mae's funeral, some pre-marriage counseling and twins baby dedications this week. God will make a way and carry me through. He knows what lies ahead and is preparing me. He is awesome and loving! And yes, even in the busyness, His yoke is easy and custom fit for me, my circumstances and according to His plans. That allows me to choose to trust and follow and experience His peace and joy. How can I help you with that? Whom might He be sending you to help? Do it! Is there some random act of kindness God is putting on your heart that might bless a weary fellow traveler? He does have plans and people just for you. Step into those plans in faith and watch what He will do that will glorify His name and lead to worship. Let go and let God! Exhale the junk and breathe in a fresh breath of the rejuvenating Spirit and then go live and love like Jesus! He was always comforting and coming beside weary travelers and He still upholds us in His strong right hand when we need it. And He often sends us to be His helping vessels. Remember too that often the breakthroughs come as we let go, refocus and go bless others in spite of our troubles and weariness. Talk to God about that today and process that with some co-laborers and go bless others in the love of Christ. Someone that God is preparing, needs you today. I'm praying for you right now! I'd love to hear your stories of how God is using you! Maybe He will give us some praises to share tomorrow? Blessing others leads to our joy and refreshing. I know I need that! How about you? let us go live and love like Jesus a little more focused on Him today. he is working all things together for good for those who are called by His name. That's you, me and our Body! PTL! Pray for revival, refreshing, and readiness to go. Amen
