All My Children

Now that you know a little bit about my kids from my last blog, I would like to introduce you to my spiritual children...
The Lord has allowed me to meet and disciple four young ladies on Bowie State University campus. I meet with them weekly for Bible studies and I am overjoyed to see them excited to get in the Word. What a blessing! Pray for me that I would continue to walk excitingly with my God, because unless I nurture myself spiritually, I would have no meaningful spiritual influence on them.
Please pray also for these beautiful women that as they grow spiritually they would in turn give of themselves to help their friends walk with Jesus. Even as I say that, I think of a quote found in A Mother's Heart, by Jean Fleming.
"We give of ourselves when we give gifts of the heart--Love, kindness, joy, understanding, sympathy, tolerance, forgiveness....We give of ourselves when we give the gifts of words--encouragement, inspiration, guidance."
Wilfred A Peterson,  "The Art of Giving"
