Welcome to your 3rd M&M lesson! How's it going? We would love to hear from you - comments, prayer requests, testimony of how the Lord used the verse in your life or someone else's, anything. Please share so we can be better connected. You can use mandmladies@gmail.com or the M&M Facebook page.
One of my favorite things about Barb is that she's "real". Yes, she is a missionary. Yes, she is a woman of God. But she is "real" and struggles with day to day life just like all of us do. She was having a rough day when she recorded this lesson so sit back and know that you are not alone with the stress we deal with, and that in those moments- THAT is the time to M&M.
This week's verse:
Hebrews 12:1,2Here are your quick links, and then read Barb's message to you for the week!
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Hi Ladies!
One of the ways I serve the church here in Japan is by teaching English…so now I'm much more attentive to our language. Our English prepositions are little words but can have great impact. Look AT? Look TO? Look FOR? This week's lesson is about "Looking TO Jesus, and how God used that little phrase in the life of Charles Spurgeon, one of my favorite Christians of all time!
Have you heard this quote before?
Your flesh won’t sit still for meditation and prayer any more than a wolverine would submit to your surgery. The flesh resists with its last breath anything that smacks of communion with God, because it suffocates in His presence. If you draw close to God in meditation and prayer, adoring God, getting to know Him, and calling on Him to search your heart, prepare to see the flesh scratch and claw like a wounded badger.
- The Enemy Within by Kris Lundgaard
Let's pray for each other's M&M times and our shutting the door, okay? This is a GREAT work we do, so don't be surprised if you meet with resistance as you try to do it.
Praying for you,
Barb
Next Week's Verse:
Colossians 2:6,7
So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
