Good Morning! I actually got sleep last night!
S - Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip God's people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ. This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God's Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ.
O - Over the last 10 years our church has really been struggling, and I thought we were going to leave because it got so bad, but God has answered many of our prayers and over the past 2 years I feel like we are on the path that these verses talk about. We are finally beginning to equip and build up the church and continuing to grow in faith and unity and in knowledge. It's been very exciting to watch people begin to use their gifts again and to reach out and take responsibility without being asked. Now that I'm at home with Thea I really miss being there at church with the people who just a few years ago infuriated me most days:)
A - I need to continue to listen to the Spirit's call when he asks me to follow him or to complete a task. I also need to encourage believers at my church and let them know how much I appreciate them.
P - Lord thank you for giving me a church I can freely worship in. thank you for the believers that are there and help us to continue to grow in you and to do your work. Thank you for not giving up on us and seeing us through the darkness!
