SERVOLUTION PRAYER

"No work for God has ever been know to prosper without prayer to support it." -- John Paterson

TWELVE PRAYERS FOR SERVOLUTION

(1) That God's love would shine through us for all to see... that Servolution would be first a work of God, and not of man.

(2) For each of us to have a servant's heart toward one another and those we serve.

(3) That no one would judge another's work, but "let each do according to what God has put in their heart."

That each project would:
(4) Come together exactly as God would have it--people, timing, resources. 
(5) Would have a supernatural anointing of the Holy Spirit.
(6) Demonstrate a true "doing of the Word."
(7) Demonstrate that God can do BIG THINGS even in LITTLE THINGS.

(8) For God's supernatural protection on teams and project leaders.

(9) That the wiles of the enemy would be turned to even greater opportunities to bring glory to God.

(10) That those who get involved at the "last hour" would have no less impact than anyone else (Matthew 20:16).

(11) That Servolution would produce a plentiful harvest and that those who are helped through it would then "go and do likewise."

(12) That we all would be Reminded to pray, PRAY, PRAY!!

Moving On/Servolution

My thanks to everyone who has prayed for me these recent weeks. It's humbling to feel so loved and cared for!

So I'm trying to get back to normal, including blogging. I realized I was feeling overwhelmed by the fact that I'm so behind on the blogs I like to read, overwhelmed by the idea of reading EVERYTHING I've missed. So I decided to give myself permission to just read everyone's latest entry, or maybe a little more. I really doubt anyone will notice I'm not going back a month and a half. But I've really missed it!

I'm starting a new job on Monday at Memorial Medical Center in Modesto. Thank you, Lord! At least, provided I pass the drug test. I'm fretting that the Sudafed I took last week or the poppy seeds Mike recently put in the beef stroganoff will result in a positive drug screen. Well, those are some of the reasons I've heard claimed for a positive test... 

But more important, I'm now the designated prayer person for Servolution. Arrrggghhh!! What have I done!?!? What have I agreed to? No, seriously, I've received such encouragement and confirmation, for which I'm most grateful. This is God's project, not mine! Also I've been reading "Messy Spirituality" lately, and I'm encouraged. I guess maybe it's just possible that my extremely messy version of Christianity can contribute something. Or rather God's version in me. 

Isn't it awesome how God so uniquely re-creates His Son in each of us?

So I'm moving on, growing up, and generally getting on with the details of life. Balancing my checkbook after two months. Starting a new job. Gearing up for Servolution

Nothing stays the same, everything changes... Everything except our Lord, Who is the same yesterday, today and forever. He knew every nanosecond of my life and of your life, and the lives of all who will be touched by Servolution from the foundation of the world. Nothing surprises Him. Nothing comes as a shock. Nothing changes His incredible love for the world. To think He wants to shine forth His love through us on May 10th (and every day)... I can't wait!

God bless!
