Avoid godless chatter
http://bible.us/2Tim2.16.NIV Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly.
This scripture talks about spreading false religious ideas, but I am guilty of this as well. Sharing my frustration with/ about others. Father forgive me for hurting one of your children. Catherine is working to change her life and the lives of her children. Lord Jesus, I was so frustrated with Alyssa, that I spouted off about the girls who in worked with. They had no idea that I loved those girls. Lord, when will I learn? Use me to encourage the family.
Father help me through today. Give me a spirit of kindness and love. Even towards Cindy. Let me not speak illy towards anyone.
Give me wisdom with the Tayler and the Alexandra issue.
Be with steve as he takes the test. Lord give him insight.
Lord jesus., I need you, in the little things.
father lead me, because i cant do this alone
http://bible.us/Phil1.3.NIV 3 I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
Father, thank you for your word. Thank you lord that I can come to you. Help me to remember this scripture, that I may pray over my staff.
Lord, even those I have a difficult time with, please lead me to do what is best for their lives.
Wendy, thank you for her service in the good news club
Cindy, please bless her with the marriage of her son. Tasha and Amy, please bless their bodies and their babies.
Please go before us with Sharon. Father, lead me as I lead your school. Please show us who should stay and go. Go before our board meeting on Saturday. Give us your peace and grace Lord. Jesus I need your quiet confidence.
Philippians 1:9-11 NIV
And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.
Lord Jesus, please make my love abound more and more for the children, families and staff of Valley Life.
Philippians 1:9-11, 27-30 NIV
And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God. Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together as one for the faith of the gospel without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved—and that by God. For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him, since you are going through the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have.

Hopeful
http://bible.us/Mal4.1.NIV "Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and the day that is coming will set them on fire," says the Lord Almighty. "Not a root or a branch will be left to them. But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves. Then you will trample on the wicked; they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I act," says the Lord Almighty. "Remember the law of my servant Moses, the decrees and laws I gave him at Horeb for all Israel. "See, I will send the prophet Elijah to you before that great and dreadful day of the Lord comes. He will turn the hearts of the parents to their children, and the hearts of the children to their parents; or else I will come and strike the land with total destruction."
This gives me hope. Focus on the family , was talking about how we try to get people to like us to fill our cups, when it is only Jesus we need to fill our cup.

Blessed
http://bible.us/Lev19.17.NIV "'Do not hate a fellow Israelite in your heart. Rebuke your neighbor frankly so you will not share in their guilt. "'Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord .
The joyce Meyer devotion talked of how women were to be endured as a punishment to men. -plato. But that isn't how God created us. He created us as a help mate to our husbands. We are not less than....we are Gods creation.
As I read this I thought of my friend. We were so close at one time.....but have travelled very different roads. God has blessed me in so many ways. Thank you Lord for giving me Craig. He has helped me grow in so many ways.
