Answered Prayers

I have been praying for a Prayer Ministry Leader for our Women's Ministry and asked others to join me in this prayer. I've asked God to bring me a Godly woman, one who has leadership skills, who is a good organizer but most important loves to pray! Last night I had the wonderful opportunity to go over the SHAPE profile with a beautiful woman who I didn't really know. I have to tell you, her SHAPE profile met the job description for the prayer leader to the T!

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!
