I was so blessed to be surrounded with children and praying for God to move and again bless this community in 2011. One boy was so sweet to come sit with me. In the middle of one song I realized that he had fallen asleep on me and I felt so fulfilled to share in that moment with him. It was awesome to speak blessings over him of protection, growth and love for his little life.
One woman whom I enjoy as a younger sister and have prayed with her through marital challenges and children things came to sit with me next. I was brought to tears quickly when she thanked me for praying for her marriage, finances and children.
To hear her run through the list of wonderful changes in each of these areas of her life over the past 4 months made me want to celebrate - but I still had that sweet boy sleeping on me so the tears came quietly and I rejoiced with her in the blessings of the Lord in her life.
Thank you Lord for the time we had to sit and listen for your voice and appeal to the power of your love for this church and community in 2011.
And I praise you Lord for a congregation that values time spent with you to kick off the New Year and focus on knowing You more.
Glad I'm His,
Colleen
