phone calls.

Phone calls.
Thats what Ive been doing all night tonight. And I'm still not done.
So, I know phone calls are a BIG part of the support raising process, but no matter how many times Ive made them, I'm still nervous before I pick up the phone. But, its so refreshing to talk to people who are willing to meet, who are excited about how God is using me, and who offer ideas about what I could do to get the word out!
Right now, Im definitely like a juggler, juggling work, Bible studies, coming home on the weekends, time with God, meetings, etc. Its been cool thoough to see the small things that God has blessed me with, from my friends sending me encouraging emails and contacts to time with my sisters and mom and dad. Ive definitely seen the parental support and love in my parents!
Now, I have to highlight some of the things that I love-
-studying 2 timothy! I can really identify with Timothy...Paul tells him that God did not give us a spirit of timidity, which also means fear. Like Timothy, I can be a fearful, shy disciple lacking in confidence and unsure of my abilities. Its encouraging for me to hear what Paul has to say to Timothy about who we are as God's children.
-leading a Sr Girls bible study!!! It brings joy to my heart. I am really growing to love these girls!
-Mitchell Road Beth Moore study-well, for one, I get to hang out with Wendy who discipled me last year when I go! And to be around women of all ages who are growing in their walks with God
-spending time with Em and Kasey! This wkend, we got to go out to eat and to the Grove park inn, and watch movies. There is nothing like hanging out with them!!

If youre reading this, please continue to pray that God would raise up a team of people who desire to support me! I know God will provide, but the daily ups and downs of asking sometimes get to me. Also, please pray for the girls that I lead-Jaycelyn, Stephanie, and Laura, and of course for my relationship with Christ to be the most important thing in my life!!
