Scattered

I sometimes wonder what my Father in heaven is thinking. We were to facilitate a church small group this evening and I had a truly "bad brain day" that left me scattered by afternoon. Of course, I prayed for focus and that we would be effective in our service tonight. God sometimes chooses to use the weak and foolish things of this world His wonders to perform. And sometimes He wants to ensure we lean on Him rather than our own means. My scatteredness persisted into the evening, and I had no notes to anchor my wandering delivery.

Our group met at the Cooks and, praise God, there were eleven of us. Everyone there helped make the lesson become personal. I was less than pleased with my note-less functioning, but considered that since the topic was impressing God rather than man, I will leave it in His hands. Hopefully, we all came away blessed and with new insights into our motives and greater inspiration to bring joy to our Father's heart.

One person there was a speech therapist. I told her about Giveback and she is interested in knowing more. I hope she checks it out. It could be a real blessing to her as well as those she works with.

All in all, I am thankful for a chance to serve... I pray my willing heart impressed the Lord even if my delivery was not so impressive... and I pray I will be more myself next week.
