a brother, for grace on the journey;
parents as they travel, for alertness and protection;
a sister returning to school, for a return to her foundations and for strength.

This morning's Oswald Chambers said something great.
I indeed baptize you with water . . . but He . . . will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire —Matthew 3:11
Have I ever come to the point in my life where I can say, "I indeed . . . but He . . ."? Until that moment comes, I will never know what the baptism of the Holy Spirit means. I indeed am at the end, and I cannot do anything more— butHe begins right there— He does the things that no one else can ever do.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
May we come to a place where we can recognize that it is He alone who fulfills his promise and brings his work to pass. May we learn to rest and not strive in our desire to "make" the will of God happen in the world.
May the peace of the Lord Christ go with you,
wherever He may send you.
May He guide you through the wilderness,
protect you through the storm.
May He bring you home rejoicing
at the wonders He has shown you.
May He bring you home rejoicing
once again into our doors.
+ In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
