Ginny - Proverbs 2 & 3

S - For the LORD gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding. He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk in integrity, Proverbs 2:6-7

How blessed is the man who finds wisdom And the man who gains understanding. Proverbs 3:13

O - Wisdom, knowledge, understanding...it all comes from the Lord. If I want these things, I must know my Lord and knowing Him takes being in His Word, talking to Him, listening to Him & seeking Him.

A - Just within the last couple of days the Lord has pressed upon my heart the need to return to the basics. The basics of what is right and wrong. For instance how I will let myself tell a white lie, but a white lie is still a lie and it is still wrong. I want my actions to be honorable. I don't want to do what is easy or a shortcut I want to do and stand up for what is right. I've seen a lot of examples in my life lately of people that are doing what is right no matter if it is popular or not, and I want to be like them. I want to walk in integrity (2:7).

P - Lord I ask for knowledge and understanding. May I see things the way You see things. May I do what is right in Your eyes. Help me to be a witness of honor and integrity to those around me.

I have a couple of other prayers requests today. While I was writing this entry I got an email from my mom that my Aunt Lynn (the one in Tulsa that has the cancer) has lost 12 pounds and they are in the hospital in Tulsa. My cousin, Stacie, flew in from Houston this morning. Please pray for all of them and that the antibiotics they are hoping her body takes, work.

Next, I ask that you pray for my friend Natalie. She was one of my Weight Watcher members. She is a doll! She's mid-twenties and is 4'2" and her last name is "Short." Is that not great! Anyhow, she is cute as a bug with a definite wild streak. Seriously, the girl really is "too cool" to hang out with me, but I love her and we have the best time. I have been praying for Natalie's salvation for a couple of months now. We get together for lunch about twice a month and today at lunch the Lord opened some doors of conversation that allowed us to talk about some "Christian" things. The Lord has put a lot of good Christians in Natalie's path lately, and she even told me about a book she is reading by this "Beth Moore lady, ever heard of her?" Ha! Love it! So, my prayer is....grow seeds grow! There is so much planting going on in her life right now. I know Natalie and I wouldn't have kept in touch after I quit Weight Watchers had the Lord not had bigger plans. He is in this and I want to be a help and friend to Natalie.

Thank y'all for praying! Love you gals!
