Hi prayer friends,
We are in full swing trying to arrange places to stay at Mardi Gras. Last year, we were right down to the wire getting our last place and I thought it would be easier this year. HOWEVER, our best place will not be available due to another group going to be at the site. We have lost two places that we have had in the past. Another place that we stayed in last year has doubled the price for staying there. Last year they let us stay there for $1700.00 and this year they want $3400.00. That would be very tough to cover. I know the Lord is able to do “above all we ask or think.” I am asking all of you to pray for the Lord to guide in this endeavor. I felt very heavy this morning and was looking forward to a great time of worship. Yes, I enjoyed laying aside the “hosting” project and just go give it all in worship. While on my way to church, I realized that it is the Lord’s business and the “heavy” part is on His end.
The clown suit project is going great. I talked to someone today at church and she said her team is making 15 suits and enjoying it a lot. That was encouraging and I needed encouragement this morning.
I will be working on the “housing” project this coming week and looking to the Lord daily for His direction. Here is what I see as the object of prayer:
1. To know Jesus: II Peter 1:2 (I have memorized this verse and recite it many times a day.)
2. To learn His will for the day. Prov 3:5-7
3. To get myself in line with it!!!!!
Thanks for hanging in there with me. I have been praying each Sunday for each of the places that have hosted us before and I really thought the housing situation would be a slam dunk!!! Ok, I took it for granted. Now it is back to the WORK of prayer. I don’t think the Lord appreciates being taken for granted.
I plan to go to Nebraska soon. I am excited about this as it has been a long time since I have been there to see everyone. I hope to have a reunion time with everyone and see a Husker’s game play against Iowa.
Love ya’s,
Fred
