Creative Juices Flowing!

All the pieces...














in a nice, neat little package!







I am facilitating a Bible study and I wanted to challenge the group to think creatively. The challenge was for each of us to take a turn opening and closing our sessions with prayer. I felt so strongly that this was what the Spirit was leading me to do that I threw the challenge out to the ladies last week. After all, our creator God, who made us so fearfully and wonderfully must have instilled a certain level of creativity in each of us! Well, no one signed up for the first week. I guess I terrified an entire classroom of women! (Oh my!) That makes tonight my turn.

After some prayerful consideration, I decided that we would make Memorial Stones, a reminder of the impact the study has had. I do this all the time. Usually I make a booklet of my favorite Scriptures or I find a small framed print with a special verse. This time I am asking everyone to write out their prayer request, something deeply personal,...something they want the Lord to do during the course of our study. They are to place the little stone in a special place somewhere in their home. It will be their reminder to pray and their reminder that God is faithful. I am praying for a powerful move of God among my ladies.

I pray that the Lord is moving in your life too!
