I fasted for a week in preparation for an important weekend that just passed, our Arise and Build :) wanted my spirit to be open to the Lord's voice to give in obedience.

so, i had an amount in my heart and was prepared to pledge during service. but the Lord challenged me to double it, and it was a five-figure amount. my largest giving.
i could not control my tears because this was a great sacrifice. nevertheless, there was peace to step out in faith and obedience.

well, i shall claim the Word everyday!

Psalm 126
They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
He that goes forth weeping, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

my prayer for today from Proverbs 22:29
Do you see a man skilled in his work?
He will serve before kings;
he will not serve before obscure men
