yesterday someone walked around our house and prayed. a person from our little church was obedient to God's prompt...put on a toque and came and prayed. ok, this was incredibly encouraging and a surprise boost we didn't know we needed.
very soon after they started praying andy and I sensed the spiritual come awake around us....dullness falling off, discouragement fleeing, worship stirring, hopefullness coming up. we had to stop what we were doing and be thankful.

thank you person - thanks for your obedience. for taking the plunge and taking initative....for taking spiritual ground. for us, for our church, for the Kingdom.

last week when we gathered to be the church together, the peeps prayed for andy and i. usually we do make a point of praying for someone every week. but this came from someone in the group saying, 'lets do this'. it was very encouraging and felt like water on dry land. thanks church. don't stop! pray without ceasing. offer your prayers of blessing and encouragement to each other because stuff changes when we do. God is faithful.
