So encouraged....

wow ! I havent been on my computer for several days and I am so encouraged by your posts!! I wish I would of read this earlier. Thank you M for your courage to share last night. Last night was the begining of something good. God is defin. working and I know things will all work out according to his plan. Thank you both so much,I look so forward to seeing you BOTH on Saturday. I want so much for this to be more than just a towel swap.I really want to connect with these ladies and I am praying we will. I know there are more women that are hungry for God, and that are seeking to be closer to him. Inside of me I have such a deep desire for Jesus,to the point that its hard for me to concentrate on much of anything else, and lately I havent been able to get many things accomplished. Tonight I have though but that could be because I drank too much coffee, Imagine that!! Thank you Lord for coffee. I have really been reading alot about spiritual gifts this week. I have read these passages many times in the Bible. For some reason this time I am drawn to these specific scriptures and I am totally excited!!! I am curious why the body of Christ doesn't talk about their gifts more. The bible says we should desire the special abilities the Spirit gives us, and we should prayer for the gifts that are the most benificial to the church. I am really curious who has the gift of performing miracles and prophesy and so on.Since the Holy Spirit lives in us these gifts are there but is it possible that they could be tucked away and we have undiscovered gifts somewhere within us?? This is exciting! I am praying for these gifts as I continue to be drawn to the scriptures. Holy Spirit have all of me today and always. Help me to represent you well today my lord......
