Answered Prayers
When we share our needs with others, and they are also seeking God's will to fulfill the need, it is amazing what can happen! I knew that God would seek her out, would place on her heart a desire to get involved with women's ministry and he used another woman in our church to seek her out.
At our last leadership meeting, I shared with the ladies my desire to find a woman after God's own heart, one who would be the perfect person to leader our Prayer Ministry. Kelly spoke up about a woman in her LifeGroup who had just recently told her that God had placed on her heart to be praying for the women in our church. I contacted her and asked her to fill out her SHAPE profile and then we would get together.
Last night Janet Waters came over and we spent 3 hours getting to know each other and review her SHAPE profile. We talked about the women's ministry and the need for prayer and praise for our ladies. This position was perfectly made for Janet. She shared with me how she had recently went up to the altar at church and asked God to "use" her. She how know idea how he would, or when he would, but she knew he would! We both agree that we now know how God inteded to use her, God brought her to this place and she is so excited to be getting involved with Women's Ministry. Janet humbly and with great excitement accepted the role as our new Prayer and Praise Leader for Women's Ministry.
Will you join me in prayer for this beautiful woman, ask God to grant her the wisdom, discernment, energy, and enthusiasm throughout this journey?
Janet will be standing by the lamp on most Sundays after the 11am service, if you need prayer, please go introduce yourself and meet Janet. If you have any prayer requests, please email them to women@getlife.tv until we have an email account set up for her.
God Bless our Heavenly Father! Praise Him for His desires to fulfill all our needs. Amen!

The Note - Book Club Selections
Here's a brief synopsis found on Amazon about the book.
When the unthinkable happens...En route from New York's LaGuardia Airport to Tampa International, Flight 848 bursts into flames and crashes into Tampa Bay. For one week, newspaper columnist Peyton MacGruder and her fellow reporters cover one of the nation's worst air disasters in years with overwhelming and numbed emotions.
Then a woman Peyton's never met gives her a plastic bag that has washed up behind her house. The bag contains a note, almost certainly from the doomed flight, with a simple yet wrenching message: T- I love you. All is forgiven. -Dad
Combing through the passenger list to find the victims whose children's names begin with T, Peyton is determined to deliver the note to its proper owner. A quest which will prove as important to Peyton's own life as to the mysterious T.
The next meeting of the book club is April 6th at 7pm at Brenda Oruno's home. Any questions about the book club please contact Kristen Coblentz - borsirk@verizon.net
