Wednesdays are the day when the counseling team does evenings. A few weeks ago I finished the step study group of men that went from 7-8:30 pm. I was glad to have it finish so I could come home earlier. I’m no longer an evening person by nature. (And I’m not sure that I ever have been). I often say my mind goes to bed about 8:30 and my body joins it by 10 pm.

Well, the commitment is that we counsel to 8:00 pm on Wednesday and it was time to start another men’s step study, so I committed to starting a new one which inside I wasn’t looking forward to doing. Just as God always does, He brought a couple of men who not only needed the study, they are ripe for the harvest. In doing step studies for 17 years now, I’ve never enjoyed a group of men any more than this one. They are open, communitive and ready to take whatever steps needed. Instead of dreading the time, I look forward to it.

There is nothing in this life that compares to obeying our Father. How fortunate we are that He ignores our selfish moments and helps us follow through with His leading in our lives! The outcome of following God’s lead is always a blessing!
