I want to say I am sorry to all of you. I don't have a testimony scheduled for today. Honestly time has gotten past me this week. That is no excuse for handling my responsibilities in the community. I did pray about it today. What should I do instead? God is always answering prayers. Testimonies are meant to be shared. There is always just that 1 person who needs to hear it. If you think your testimony doesn't matter? Think about that person who needs to hear it. Today let's talk just about bit about your own testimony. It doesnt have to be elaborate. Just a small piece. How did God show up?

I would like us to start meeting monthly, even twice a month via live call just to meet and greet and say hello. We'll get a chance to check on each other, pray for each other, share wins, encouragement, get more involved more with each other, etc. I am thinking about an hour but we can go longer if needed. You can leave whenever you want. Will you please think about the best days that work for you? Time zones are different please let me know the best time by the time zone your in. Example. Im CST in U.S.

John 1:10 “He was in the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him.” It’s possible to be close to something and still miss it. Jesus wasn’t distant in this verse, He was present. Walking among people. Speaking. Healing. Loving. Yet many didn’t recognize Him, even though He was the One who created the world itself. How often do we miss God’s presence simply because we expected it to look different? Sometimes we look for big signs, when He’s working through small moments. Sometimes we overlook peace because we’re waiting for something dramatic. Sometimes we miss direction because it comes as conviction, not noise. Hope in this: Jesus still came into the world that didn’t recognize Him. That means God doesn’t withdraw just because we struggle to see Him. His presence is steady, even when our awareness is not. Where might God already be present in your life that you haven’t recognized yet?

How can we pray for you today? I love to pray. I'm the type of guy who will stop what I'm doing to pray for someone. When someone comes to me and ask me to.pray for them, I just say let's pray now. I find prayer to be urgent. Not something that is to be put off until later. I wasn't always this way. One day my Pastor was talking to a couple of people and I was waiting patiently to talk to him. He stopped and asked if he could help me. I just wanted to know if he would pray with me when he had some time. He stopped what he was doing and he prayed with me. That made me look at prayer in a whole new way. Drop your prayer requests below. Have a great day!
