NCW,

"May the Lord Bless you and keep you...may He make His face to shine upon you, and give you peace."


Funny what sticks in your head from so long ago....this was the salutation given by the Pastor of our church every Sunday when I was a little kid....and for some reason, it keeps running through my mind.

Trust that God is working on RAP.....He is. He loves her, and He will not give up on her. The battle belongs to the Lord.


Praying for you,

NOW

Thanks NOW. Means a lot. - NCW

NC - I copied this from a post by spiderslayer.

My license to Operate
Based on John 16:13

“… when He, the Spirit of truth is come, He will guide you into all the truth!”

Recognizing the Holy Spirit is the supreme source of guidance, and that He will not come into my life without my express permission and invitation, I formulate this legal document of covenant with Him.

I, [state your name], desiring to be guided into all truth about my nature and needs, about God’s love and will (especially regarding my marriage), and about God’s specific plans for my life and ministry, do HERBY give the Holy Spirit my personal invitation and total permission to shine HIS LIGHT OF TRUTH into my life – in every part – conscious, subconscious, unconscious – to GUIDE ME! Especially illuminate and remove, for the truth does “set me free...“ John 8:32, areas of spiritual and emotional blindness or fear, of laziness or sensuality, of greed or ambition, of confusion and procrastination, of self-pity or low self-esteem! Purify every dark motive!

“Chase the shades of night away, oh, turn my darkness into day!”

Take the strength and wisdom of my experience, the total commitment of my will, the deep desires of my heart – and change and channel me into BLESSED MINISTRY – for Your glory and for my good!

I will acknowledge the truth that you reveal to me about God, about myself, and about personalized guidance, and I will obey the specific concrete, guiding instructions you give me in the “TRUTH TRAIL!”

P.S. I further acknowledge that this covenant is based upon God’s Word (John 16:13) and my word (signed and dated), that the Holy Spirit will guide me, and that I will “walk in the light!” (2 John 1:7)

Thanks believer.

I keep a journal about all this stuff. It contains lots of my feelings. Artwork. Verses that catch my eye.

A large portion of it is devoted to ME and what my problems were in all this. Stuff I need to work on and stuff to help me do that.

This is in there now.

Loved it.

PS - Thought you were the warden, you probably should be the reference librarian.
