There was a time in my life were this was typical of my schedule for me. I would be teaching two studies, meeting with women of leadership n the church, Teaching Sunday School, preparing for Home fellowship and planning a women's Dinner, Brunch or Luncheon. But that has been a while ago.

Yes i know Goats "But" and Sheep Follow. Thus the reason I am typing this and asking for prayer for me. I don't do that very often.  I know what my heart desires is to be a conduit for the Lord. I want to show up, yet not be there, Oh if "self" would do the right thing and step aside for the King always. I love it when He teaches me while I share with them. I know I always learn the most.

So why the nerves? I guess because I really don't know even my helpers. We have a new Women's Ministries Coordinator, I know so few of the other Women Leading Studies this session, it starts next week and this is our first meeting together as a group.

I am prepared, I have done half of the Study already. I know the direction it is intended to go and open to the Leading of the Holy Spirit. The same can be said about my Speaking at Tomorrow Night's Women's Community Dinner. We are a small community and it is a dinner open to all the Christian Women in the area. My daughter spoke at it a few months back and I never planned on doing this at all. As a matter of fact even the topic is not mine. The Original Speaker canceled and here they were with everything printed, mailed and organized. So when I was asked, the Lord said yes and I did my best to fit heir plans. Tomorrow night I will know if the direction was right. Their is such a compilation of churches here and sometimes their hearts seem so dull and lack-luster where the Lord Jesus is concerned. Many of them see Christ as a social engagement rather than a relationship with their Lord, so prayer is needed.

On a physical note, there is a fire burning in the Mt Lassen National Forest and the wonderful breeze that we have missed so much has filled our sky and lungs with tons of smoke and I have grandkids with asthma. Today will be a tough day for all. So much smoke that it woke my husband up and caused him to go through the house looking for whatever could be burning.

Thank you so much for all your Kind Words and Prayers for Tirzah and for Matthew. Tirzah turned in her specimen yesterday and Heatherlee had to REMIND them to tellthe lab NOT to throw it out this time. Last time there was so much blood in it that the lab tech decided it wasn't a clean catch and TOSSED IT! Really he did! So we had to make sure that they knew NOT to do that again.

And on that note, I received a lovely card filled with prayers for our sweet Tirzah yesterday from my Secret Sister. There is something so comforting in having that card to hold in my habnds and know that someone is praying for me and my family. Thank you so much. I will share it wih Tirzah as well. You are such a blessing to me.
