| Slow Blog night... |

While writing isn't really my forte', I figured it was a slow night. I went to a few nights seminar on soaking in prayer it was a four night thing of which I was only off Mon, and Wednesday evening. Currently I live for church activities, I resigned earlier this week from service positions as the Vise Chairperson for the Indiana State Narcotics Anonymous Convention.
I've really felt convicted concerning my involvement with NA and it's politically correct God as You Understand him viewpoint. 1:9 For they themselves give the news of how we came among you; and how you were turned from images to God, to the worship of a true and living God,
It's as if I could hear the LORD saying I am "THE" way "THE truth, and "THE" life. So far I'm not sure if I'm withdrawing from cigarettes or NA??? can you withdraw from an organization?
Well fortunately I have to work at the little addictions house in the cornfield here in Terre Haute. I also feel like the Lord wants me to be still and know that I'm God. I just know that I need a real relationship with the living God. I hear so much about obedience but I have a lot to learn about the Shepherds voice.
I got a new fella living in my house he's a Christian thats trying to stay clean. I told him I wouldn't be hitting him up for rent for a couple of weeks so he can start to get on his feet. He's fanatical about cleaning, which is good as I've been taken advantage of before when I have tried to help folks out. "Dexter" my dog is helpful in these types of decisions as he has better people instincts than I do.
Boy there's a lot of week between Sundays I kind of wish we went by this model... 2:42 And they kept their attention fixed on the Apostles' teaching and were united together in the taking of broken bread and in prayer. 2:43 But fear came on every soul: and all sorts of wonders and signs were done by the Apostles. 2:44 And all those who were of the faith kept together, and had all things in common;
But then again they'sd probably accuse us of being a Karesh type of cult. Well I hope everyone has a fun Labor Day weekend. |

Dave,
I think you can withdraw from anything that focuses you in ways that aren;t where God has called you. Sometimes too, He moves us from one thing that has been good, to another thing that is our calling. I also think that, in my experience, the familiar gets in the way of movement. Maybe it;s the familiar in NA that is trying to hold on, at the expense of the new and scary? Just a thought. Keep praying and serving in TH, God has wanted to move again for a while. Maybe it;s time for another Jesus People type movement. I;ll bet you could take this message to campus and they'd respond. |

Dave,
I love it when twice within days I hear someone reference a scripture....I like to believe that is one of the ways the Shepherd sorta taps on my shoulder. I was at lunch with a friend Thurs. who was talking about Acts 2:42-44, she was telling me about how years ago there was a couple who invited her to every morning meet for prayer and alittle breakfast....she has carried this on at her church and they pray for their little congregation and whatever the Lord leads. She said sometimes there are only 5 people and that particular morning there were only 2....but still she is blessed by that.
Pray about it but being a widow I also don't always wait for people to call me or make invitations, you may not be surprised at the people who are also feeling like they could use some fellowhip in between Sun.
My church has started having small groups and we meet in peoples homes once during the week and eat supper together and worship , pray. Perhaps you could approach your pastor or an elder in your church about something like that.
I think the Shepherd is tapping your shoulder, I think is taking you in the direction of your calling.
Bless you and oh by the way congratulations on you dopelessness!!!

Thanks Dennis, Thanks Bonita. We do have some home groups starting up. I also have more and more Junkies who have been set free at my house
Thanks for the support. I know There is a history of witchcraft in Terre Haute, but I know that in Christ is the victory. |
