Week 11

Good evening ladies,

I'm sorry that this email is coming to you so late tonight, perhaps I just wanted to prolong our last week together. :)  It has been a wonderful semester M&Ming with you in this "new" way.  It is so wonderful to still be able to receive the warmth and encouragement of our dear Barb from so very far away.  Have you enjoyed meditating and memorizing on these verses?  Have they become "yours"?  I hope that they are hidden in your hearts forever, please continue to review them in the future so that they always stay "fresh"!

 Do you have any comments or feedback for us from this semester?  Anything we could do better?  I know I've made my share of goofs.  We're learning as we go, so please feel free to share!

 Speaking of goofs, here's the message from Barb that I leaked to you last week, even though it was intended for this week :) 
Hi M&M sisters!   
This is our last week together M&M-ing on "By Faith - Things Are Not What They Seem".  This week I share my thoughts as I looked back over the last eleven weeks.  Thank you so much for joining me on this venture!  It has been a privilege for me.  I know God will use His Word that you have hidden in your heart and it will keep on bearing fruit in your lives.  Remember, as we say about our language study here in Japan, "if you don't use it, you lose it"!  So read and review your verses regularly and listen to your CD occasionally.  I hope to M&M with you again in the near future! 
Thanking God for you, 
Barb

This week's verse:
Psalm 27:13,14 (NAS) 
I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and let your heart take courage; yes, wait for the Lord.

Week 10


Good evening ladies,

Karen's memorial service is Thursday evening with the visitation from 5pm-6pm in Tomlin Hall and the service in the sanctuary from 6pm-7pm.  Candy has said that there will be a time for friends and family to speak and/or share stories if they would like, so if God puts it on your heart please feel free to share.

 This has been a really tough week for me.  Two dear friends lost their fathers unexpectedly this week, and of course Karen's passing.  Combine that with your traditional chaos, stolen credit card number, etc and it can make one very weary.... But wow... what a verse.  Wow, what a God.  I've been weaker than ever this week, but God is just as strong as He ever was, and HIS power is seen more clearly in MY weakness.  Amazing. 

This week's verse:
2 Corinthians 12:9,10 
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
