I have been humming the song, that I sang last Tuesday night, all week long and thinking about the words.
"Dear Lord, I'll be a witness...Help now, Lord, my weakness... Jesus use me. And, O Lord, don't refuse me. For surely there's a work that I can do. And even though it's humble, help my will to crumble. Though the cost be great, I'll work for you!
One of the missionaries told us, "I am going to pray for God to put someone in front of your face this week that needs Jesus." I thought about how my week would go...I'd be home all day every day in our schoolroom with our children. They each know Jesus as their personal Savior. They still need to see Jesus in me as we go through our daily routines. I don't want to be a stumblingblock! We'd be at church for the evening services. I didn't see any opportunities from my perspective. And then I got an email...from a friend. We had plans. We had a friend who didn't have plans. I need to start thinking differently about plans I make. I need to remember the simple, casual times as opportunities...not just the big, wowzer activities! God led a friend to our home to sit at our table, so we could water seeds that have been sown. When we ask for God's help, He leads in ways that often we are too dense to see for ourselves!
