We
had our first meeting today for a neighborhood
HopeKeepers
group and I'm pleased to tell you that
it went well! All the ladies were enthusiastic
about taking a spiritual/Biblical approach to
dealing with chronic pain and illness--it's
an answer to prayer! Thank you so much for all
the hard work you've done in organizing Rest
Ministries--you are being used by the Lord for
a much-needed ministry. Your beautiful and sensitive
writing has been an encouragement to me.
It
has taken me a year of praying (and procrastinating)
to get going with this group. I have not felt
well at all. But I've finally realized that
I simply need to trust the Lord to take care
of my pain level on the days we meet. (I'm leading
the group in my home). Since this group has
several denominations represented, I had no
idea how they would respond.Well God took care
of that and I'm pretty excited about it! I've
been in Bible Study Fellowship for 11 years
and was a discussion leader for 7 years, so
I'm fairly comfortable with leading a small
group. It is so good to have the resources from
Rest Ministries--I thank the Lord for you, Lisa!
Your
sister in Christ, Barb
