This past weekend

This past weekend was such a blessing for me. I went to Ohio to meet up with a fellow covering sister in Christ and we stayed with a couple that I had met on my last trip there. Such a wonderful good time that we had while we were there!! My friend's husband even enjoyed having 3 women in his house lol!! While we were there, we went to church twice :) Such a wonderful blessing to have a whole roomful of respectfully dressed and covered women during worship. No distractions, except for the children who have yet to learn to sit quietly in church :)

We went to several attractions while we were there and they were enjoyable, but the true blessing was my one friend whom we stayed with. She truly has God's gift with words - something I have to work on. I absolutely love how God has developed that gift in her, her husband even seems to have that gift as well, but he is rather quiet and does not speak much...but when he does, it is really a blessing if you are able to listen :) Another highlight was to see how a couple who absolutely loves God lives for Him everyday! My parents are the kind of people who go to church maybe twice a month and that's about it. I don't mean to say that when they are not in church that they do awful things, but they definitely do not live for God the way this couple does! I truly wish to emulate them in my life so that I may live for God each and everyday, not just Sundays :)

Food for thought: How do you live for God each day of your life?

Blessings in Christ,

Spiritual Gifts

I recently joined a Yahoo! Group and was asked to take a Spiritual Gifts assessment. It was 130 questions long, super long! I am curious, have any of you been told your Spiritual Gifts? It was determined that my main gift is faith, with administration, helps, intercession, leadership, mercy, shepherding, and wisdom as more gifts that the Lord may or may not be developing in me. I was able to read the description of those gifts and I can see how I fit into each of those categories.

If you have not been told your Spiritual Gifts and would like to know, here is a website that you can use. The only down side of this one that I have found is there are not as many gifts listed as the one that I originally took. Other than that, it is pretty accurate.

Do you agree with your Spiritual Gifts? Are you able to see how God implements these through your daily life?

I think it is absolutely wonderful how the Lord gives each and everyone of us different gifts and different ways that we use the gifts He has given us.

Blessings in Christ,
