Waiting Eagerly on God

We started out the morning with Hailey giving us a devotion about resolutions. We all tend to make them this time of year. She shared that her goal for this year was to read the Bible more consistently.
Proverbs 16:3 "Commit to the Lord in whatever you do and your plans will succeed."
Our speaker for this week was Ann Johnson. She shared with us how she learned to wait eagerly on God through the struggles of her own life. After many years she finally learned to completely release her attitudes and desires for her husband and children to the Lord. She waited and prayed for over 20 years before she saw God work a miracle in her family. Her husband and children have accepted Christ. Her marriage and family have been restored and blessed.
What an encouragement her testimony was for all of us and we were reminded to be faithful in prayer.
Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to bring you a hope and a future."

As a reminder... Tickets are still available for the Women's Luncheon on Saturday, February 20 at the Renaissance Esmerelda Resort in Indian Wells. The speaker this year will be Nicole Johnson who is a dramatist with "Women of Faith". Free childcare is available but you must pre-register by February 10.
Wishing you all a refreshing weekend with your families!
