Please know that you ALL are so important to me, and to God. The days that I do not post, I spend time with God finding my place with Him. Studying and in prayer. I'm hoping to post more frequently, that's my goal. Just knowing that you are out there is so important. As I said to Rebecca, I think(?)I'm going to share a few things tomorrow that God has been showing me. Stay tuned, some "lights are coming on"!<br />Blessings,<br />DebraDebra@CommonGroundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830455848744270459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787192881528040602.post-52168406963993613092009-11-22T13:48:00.532-06:002009-11-22T13:48:00.532-06:00Hi Rebecca, The thing that struck me about what yo...Hi Rebecca, The thing that struck me about what you spoke about is that God calls us, sometimes with a specific "call". I like you, was called to prayer, and still find it the most precious thing I can do, to pray for others. But it's so strange, how you will be immersed in the "call" and then circumstances for some unknown reason will change. Then we find ourselves doing something different. I know at times I really questioned God about where I have "been" in the last few years. I sought Him for direction and felt like somehow I had gotten off track. I knew when He removed me from the last church and Bible Study and told me to go do the "antiques thing" that my prayer life and study time would dwindle, yet He pushed me in that direction. Sometimes I felt like He was "pushing me away" from His work. Yet we found people that I would never have met and we witnessed for the Lord in a whole new arena. I have learned that "being in church" is not the only way God works and accomplishes His will. There are seasons in our life, and I held on kicking and screaming to that season, but it changed. And now He is moving me into another season of ministry, through this particular Bible Study Blog. <br />Thank you for being a part of this. I know God has a plan here. Tomorrow, I'm going to share a few things that I'm feeling that are on the horizon. Have a wonderful Sunday, Rebecca.Debra@CommonGroundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830455848744270459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787192881528040602.post-57547570147569268272009-11-22T10:40:21.637-06:002009-11-22T10:40:21.637-06:00Good Morning Debra

You have challenged me to set an appointment with the Lord like I would with anything important in my life... I too taught Sunday school when the kids were younger and met with prayer groups and at that time my calling was to be a prayer warrior but times have changed and I am not in fellowship with anyone at the moment...this time with you is heaven sent, thank you for listening to what the Lord is saying.<br />Blessings this beautiful Sunday morning...<br />RebeccaRebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10278401609888310410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787192881528040602.post-80716929561091766542009-11-20T17:04:03.417-06:002009-11-20T17:04:03.417-06:00I really enjoyed reading this post...Something I n...I really enjoyed reading this post...Something I needed to read and learn.<br />I am soon off to read more,I first will sign into follow, and commit to this bible study.<br />I think the Lord has been trying to impress upon me the importance of words,I have known this to a certain degree...but I feel He's drawing me closer to Him...perhaps in prayer as you have posted about.

Coming into agreement with each of you, pray that everyone that reads this post would sense the stirring and leading of the Holy Spirit to prayer. Such a sweet fragrance of Christ on this blog.

It is what I need to hear. God teaches and speaks to me through this time of sitting at His feet (even though it is at a computer).<br />But when I hear from you all, when you leave a comment or even just to say, I'm here, it is such a tremendous blessing. Your comments and insights motivate me and cause me to spend more time in the Word. You all encourage me to be listening and studying harder. These posts that God writes through my hands and heart are not always what I think they will be. God is a master at opening a new door of thought or direction. He blesses me each time I sit down here to write.<br />So I will say again. Do not be afraid to comment. Do not hold back. Jump in with both feet! Each of you is important and has a contribution to make.<br />Libbie, what a busy life you lead!. Just having your children is a full time job, but then you do so much for others. I know when we were younger we were in charge of the children's Sunday School. I loved teaching the little ones and it was such a joy to see their sweet little faces, but because of that we could not attend regular worship. Soon I found myself worn out with it. I needed that weekly fill up and I wasn't receiving it. Thank you Libbie, for finding a spot here with us. We are so glad you are here!<br />Debbie, Bella has made such an impact on so many of us! You have blessed us with your journey with her little, precious, life. You were a continual witness for God on his miracles and hand in all of it. I love you and look up to you. I want to meet you some day and just grab you and not let go!<br />Brenda, soon I will tell what happened to me once, that caused me to be the most "timid" person in the world. You will be surprised! I love hearing from you. (God has a plan for you that is coming. He needs you for a specific purpose.)<br />Lee, you are one of the most godly, sincere and anointed women I "know". Your LIFE is an anointing! I need your input.<br />AND Deb, another sister in the name, I am so enjoying reading your blog and getting to know you. Thank you for coming over here and participating. We can all "glean" from each other!<br />Big hugs and blessings to all of you. I feel like we are a sisterhood, thank you!Debra@CommonGroundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830455848744270459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787192881528040602.post-15821096220879955832009-11-19T11:05:54.406-06:002009-11-19T11:05:54.406-06:00I had a hard night last night emotionaly wiped &am...I had a hard night last night emotionaly wiped & I didn't know why ...then I realized-5 out of the last 6 Sundays I have been serving in our children's ministries during our services-I have to miss adult Sunday School because my hubby & I lead a college group during that time. Wednesday nights I teach the 1 & 2nd grade boys & miss the House of Prayer. I do attend a great weekly Bible study but I am also raising 3 little ones & all of a sudden I felt drained! I needed to be filled up! So this morning I made it a point to get over here & fill up! Thanks for making it so easy! Kids screaming :) Gotta run!Libbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04707633636581398829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787192881528040602.post-1172937667670638592009-11-19T09:34:39.396-06:002009-11-19T09:34:39.396-06:00Debra,

I think you have been in a Holy place my dear.<br />I love Brenda's comment, and it should bring delightful encouragement as there are many others who are possibly not commenting for the same or various reasons. However, they are listening. <br />Lord, bring who ever has ears to hear and then cause these seeds to sprout in all of our hearts.<br />Bless Debra for sharing!<br />LeeLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18152279577727254578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787192881528040602.post-61615718784395880862009-11-19T07:38:07.358-06:002009-11-19T07:38:07.358-06:00Very beautiful teaching on 'anointed' pray...Very beautiful teaching on 'anointed' prayer.

I always feel inadequate when praying like I'm not saying it right. It was just this past year with Bella's birth that I came to understand that even though I feel like I'm just jibbering, He understands and listens. What a peace to know that.<br />Debbietrash talkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17508579521854913297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787192881528040602.post-67334786738699947032009-11-18T21:50:25.300-06:002009-11-18T21:50:25.300-06:00Debra,

I went to a book signing tonight. Debbie Macomber was in Grand Rapids, MI and under her signature in both books I had signed she listed 2 Timothy 1:7. For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power......If nothing else I will let you know I'm here.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07431119683829319380noreply@blogger.com
