Ready or Not....

God is a 24/7 maintenance lifeline who deserves to be thanked/praised daily!!!
I went to a Mentoring class today at the conference and I am so glad I did because I have been feeling God leading me into some sort of mentoring or counseling services lately. I still am not 100% sure what but He is leading me in the direction of where He wants me at and is still doing a work in me to prepare me for His calling. We all leave imprints on people whether good or bad. Here is the list of "imprints" that the leader of class presented that we should follow.
The imprint of love for GOD
The imprint of consistent PRAYER (knee pads...down on one knee, offers protection)
The imprint of studying God's WORD
The imprint of loving people to CHRIST (handing out tracts)
The imprint of a noble life- PURPOSE (gifts/talents)
The imprint of TEACHABILITY (books)
The imprint of PERSERVERANCE (running shoes, run the race set before you...)
The imprint of reckless abandon to GOD (overflowing fountain)

I am working on a list of practical things I can do for my Mentee. I am also thinking of things I can ask a mentor. We ought always to be learning from others.

All in all the conference was great. Music was excellent and sessions were fabulous. I truly enjoyed hearing Carrie's story of hurt and recovery. If you are not familiar with Carrie Mcdonnall I reccomend you research the story. It's quite a powerful one. Her book is called FACING TERROR.

I was thankful today to God for providing me with a ride home. The people I had ridden with left early and I wanted to stay for the whole seminar so I asked in a class if anyone lived near where I did if they would be willing to drive me home. It just turned out that the lady sitting next to me lived in my area so she offered and ended up dropping me off at home and invited the kids to their AWANA program at the church right down the street. She was an elderly woman and had such a kind soul. It's just amazing how God supplies all our needs.
This evening I have spent 6 1/2 minutes in a closet behind ballgowns waiting to be found by the kids in our hide and seek game. LOL. Spent the rest of the time on computer, reading and making dinner. I am so exhausted I am heading to bed early tonight.. Church in the a.m. Looking forward to another beautiful day tomorrow!
