Staying on Track


Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or swerve from them.
Prov. 4:5
this morning we have a planning/bugeting meeting at church. all through this week i had forgotten about it, then on Thursday a friend reminded me. so, since then i've been praying and mostly dreading it. normally these meetings are dull - no offense, but talking about "resubmitting last years budget" just doesn't spice things up.

this morning i awoke with a different attitude. i can barely wait to get there. i have a feeling that today's meeting is going to be different. Jesus has changed my heart to be eagerly desiring to seek His will about how to improve/expand the evangelism ministry at St. Paul UMC. i am not sure what this all entails, but i will go to this meeting eagerly expecting to meet Him, rather than expecting to be bored.

God of heart transplants,
i know that You've changed my heart overnight. thanks for this new attitude about today's meeting. thanks for lifting my eyes toward Your sanctuary early this morning. i love You. let st. paul's evangelism ministry be a useful tool for Your outreach. let all of the leaders of Your church be encouraged at the changes which You have in store. let our hearts trust Yours. guide and lead us through this important meeting. Holy Spirit, we welcome You to join us and fill us with Your wisdom and knowledge of how to run Your church. i love You!

In Jesus' Powerful Name ~ Amen!
