It's Tuesday.

Today is Tuesday which is my day of focus.  And sometimes I actually do it.  :)

Many years ago before I began full time work, I attended a bible study Tuesday mornings with some amazing ladies which was absolutely life changing for me. 

When I began working full time, Tuesdays became the day where I would go on dates with Jesus on my lunch hour.  I'll be honest, that has been my intentions for the last few years.  Sometimes I do well, and sometimes I am the biggest slacker.  Lunch with Jesus includes me, my bible, some great praise and worship, and a quiet place.  When I DO accomplish this, it's the most rejuvenating thing, and often concludes with some kind of major revelation.    

Tuesdays are also the day where friends and I EARNESTLY pray for our children.

Now, Tuesdays have even more meaning for me.  The WONDERFUL group of ladies, that I originally met with for bible study many years ago, have begun something called a "Prayer Drive".  They have gathered a group of people to commit to driving around the community to pray for the safety of our children and whatever else we want to pray for as we drive.  There has been so much death and pain in our children and we are taking a stand.  There will be someone praying for our community every day for 365 days and then the idea will be revisited.  So great!!  (If you want to join in, even from your home, message me on FB!!)

Today as I drove with the music of Sonicflood's song Psalm 91 cranked (which was so very meaningful to me while I was in the hospital), I was overwhelmed with so many thoughts that I believe were from God.  From shame for our selfish nation, to the outflowing of God's never ending grace and love.  God gave me a picture of angels standing on the street corners.  I felt such peace.  So great!! 

With me being away from work now for more than 6 weeks, I sure have had time to read my bible and pray.  And I will confess, I could be (and it would be wise for me) to spend even more time reading and praying rather than watching old reruns on Netflix.  That's the temptations of the world we live in huh?!!  :)  God is SO gracious.  I felt at first that I am not worthy to be a part of this prayer drive.  But I am reminded that all God needs is a willing heart, and His grace will cover the rest.  Wave after wave...His grace.  Wow!!
