The week of December 1 -7 was a pretty fun week for me. While
I didn’t have a voice most of it, I did experience the joy of moving in my
spiritual gifting. I had two opportunities to share with women about Pure Joy at
Christmas dinners: one in Olive Branch, Mississippi, and the other at my home
church.
The tables were decorated so beautifully. I am including a
very small sampling of tables but maybe you can see some others in the
background of some of the pictures.
Something very exciting took place in
my heart that week. I was reminded of the joy of moving in our spiritual
gifting. Those two speaking events allowed me to spend time sharing the message God
would have me bring to those women specifically, along with sharing about Pure
Joy and my people group: missionary women. If you really want to see me
experiencing some joy, it is when I’m exhorting my people group or talking
about them!
I’m not sure what any of the women got out of those two
meetings but I know God reaffirmed in me the joy of moving in the gifting He
has given me: to encourage and exhort people in their walks with God by being in
the Word and applying the Word to their lives daily.
I want to encourage you in your walk with God. Please if you
are not growing in your walk with God get in the Word. Yes, God gives us others
to encourage us and feed us regarding His Word but honestly you better know how
to feed yourself because most of the people around you are probably starving.
Also, you can’t afford to eat out all
the time! And you can’t afford not to eat if you are going to withstand the
struggles of this world! It isn’t going to get easier! Don’t be deceived! As
believers we need to be in the Word and we need each other!
I pray you know and are reminded of the joy of moving in the
gifting He has given you so you may experience the joy of His presence!
Love you all,
His,
Vickie
