The other day I was lounging in my hammock under the shade trees outside of my Norris City home and thinking to myself of the wonders and plans that the Lord has for this season.
My hammock wonderings lead me away me to a place of vision and prayer for this region of Southern Illinois. As I looked out at the surrounding houses I imagined people coming and going full of joy and life because they knew they were loved by the Creator of Heaven and Earth, God!
This has become my prayer for my city. That Holy Spirit would send forth wide spread revelation of Jesus and the Father. That my neighbors would know the power and testimony of Jesus in my life and get wrecked by His love for them. In turn giving their lives in complete surrender to following Jesus.
Take a look outside, up and down the street or hallway you live on. Ask the Lord what His heart is for those that live near you. He will answer because He loves them and that you want to know and partner with Him to see His desires come forth in others.... that they may know Him, the one true Living God.
I am officially living in my house alone now! Well for a few months that is. My awesome roommate Abbie headed off to serve at an orphanage in India and a ministry that helps to rescue and bring healing children and adults who have been sold into human trafficking in Thailand.
Please join me in praying for Abbie while she is on this journey as a missionary over the next few months. She returns September 13. If you would like to find out more about here and hear of what God is doing while she is gone check out her blog. She is one of the best blog writers I know and is pretty faithful about posting cool stuff that happens in her days....although she will be more limited to internet access while overseas but none-the-less check it out! She posted a few blogs in the past couple days that are very encouraging!!
God Bless y'all!
