The Lord is Wonderful

I am sorry I haven't posted but I am here today. I had the most wonderful thing happen to me yesterday, which is in my class that I teach at our church on Wednesday night, God saved 3 girls and brought one girl back into rededication of her life. It is so funny that this happened because I was praying the other day and I realized that in all the time that I have be working for the Lord and being His servant, I had never witnessed that upclose God's workings and so I was praying about it. Also remember not in a selfish manner like, DearLord let me get someone saved type of deal but just in a simple prayer of realizing I really hadn't done that for God and I asked Him to use me and show me what I needed to do. I went to class last night with two short lessons one on praising the Lord and the other our normal lesson, needless to say, we never made it to the regular lesson. I just think it is so amazing how God works and how He uses us and molds us all so that we can be better servants to Him and meet Him one day. My fleshly self kept wanting to say I did it, I finally did it but I know that isn't true at all. I can do nothing, only the Lord can. I am so proud of the Lord and I feel so blessed to be in His presence. It was amazing to see how these girls were being molded last night by the dear Lord right before my eyes. To take the me out of it, I went and got another teacher last night and she gently walked them to where God wanted them. Let me tell you the devil was in my hear telling me I didn't do anything that the girls were not sincere and so on and so on but I knew deep in my heart it was a lie and that it was real, I saw the tears and I saw the relief and peace on each girls face. God moved in a mighty way as He always does but just a little closer last night. LOL, see this is one of the things I am talking about with myself and I am sure others. I make the statement "just a little closwer last night" but God is always moving, it is I, not the Lord who needs to take a closer notice and stop being so held back and reserved in what I do and see. God is always moving, I am the one sitting back choosing what to partake in. Praise God for His love and His wonders. Hey I would like to encourage you to do something if you read this. I was reading the other day, not sure where, but it said to go to the book of Proverbs and to read the chapter that corresponds with todays date. For example, today is the 28th, so you would read Proverbs 28. I have been trying to do this everyday. Do feel bad if you miss a day, we all do but I have been making an effort to read my chapter everyday. I want to say it is more amazing then anything as to the wisdom and knowledge that is being poured into my life. What I do is read my chapter and just give God my time and I go through each verse in that chapter and see what it means to me. I look up definitions to things I don't understand and just really study it. I love it, it is the most enlightening thing I have ever done. I encourage others to do this. I just started doing it but I guess I have been going for almost two weeks now and I love it. Anyway, just a little blurb.
