Today started early with the meeting regarding my co-leader for the step study.  It was changed from last night to 6:00 am this morning.  I was a little concerned because the man I wanted to replace him as co-leader is the share group leader for his accountability group last night.  However, last night they were able to talk about it on their own.  God used His ways to have the communication take place which I had felt I needed to do.  I love how intimate and tender God is at handling these issues which man stresses over.  The young man is staying in the step study as a participant now knowing this is the path He needs to take to address his own recovery.

Later this morning I meet with another one of our pastors regarding a troubled teen in our youth program for Celebrate Recovery.  God was reminding me this morning in my devotional time that I need to not prepare my message–He wants me only giving His.  I knew exactly what He was talking about.  I have had more than one conversation with this pastor and they don’t always go as I would wish.  So, my mind has been working overtime prepping the right message.  God was reminding me that it isn’t my prepped message He wants given.  I simply need to state what the issue is and let Him take it from there.  I hate the fact that I have to have these constant reminders.  As human as I am, I hate being so.  Stepping out of humanness is stepping into eternity.  God hasn’t wanted me out of humanness yet so I will continue on this path of needing my constant reminders.

God is so good!  I love serving Him and am so glad to be called a child of the King.  Praise God from Whom all blessings flow!
