In my weakness, He is strong!

Last night was so good! But it definitely did not start out that way. We had a team meeting right before we were about to leave to go to the Woman's Aglow Christmas party were we would be doing ministry. During the meeting, the enemy tried to attack our unity as a team. It was hard and unfortunately, we didn't have the time to properly work through it before we left. As I was in the car on the way there I could do nothing but pray and ask God to help us make it through the night. I did NOT want the enemy to steal this night from us. God had given us such a heart for this meeting and the enemy was not happy about it at all. God just kept reminding me, that it's in our weakness that He is strong.

I must say, I am extremely proud of my team. Even though we were not as unified as we could have been, we all made the decision to set aside what happened and work together to accomplish what God wanted to do. Jessie did an amazing job sharing last night! She wrote out a story from a book she's currently reading and Petri, James and I acted it out as she read it to the group. It was really fun! She also shared some of her personal story to which a lady came up to her afterwards and told her that she felt like Jessie was sharing her personal life! I'm so proud of Jessie! She did so well! She really sought God's heart for last night and followed His leading. 
Jessie also asked me to sing "Arms Wide Open". It's a song I know well, but not on guitar. I normally play it on piano but God gave me the grace to do this. The words touched the heart of the people. It was a beautiful night! We were able to share the love of God with them! 
Then we followed up all our talk about God's love by showing them. We offered prayer to anyone who wanted it. We stuck a chair up front and people would come up and tell us their request! It was SOOOOO great! One lady had been at a meeting we led last thursday and prayed for her knee. She had pain and wasnt able to bend it well. She showed us now how she can bend it and said that it is feeling much better! Yay God! 
We prayed for another lady's knee last night. As we were praying, I had placed my hand on her knee and I could feel heat pulsing out of my hand. It was the weirdest thing! When she got up from the chair, I looked at Jessie and began to tell her what I had been feeling. At the same time, the lady was telling Sanna that she was feeling heat in her knee while we were praying! God was on a roll!!!
We prayed for many people last night, and my team did so well. We prayed for hearts, shoulders, knees, eyes and hips! And the whole time, they pressed through and listened for God's voice even as it got later and later. I know we were all tired but still we fought. Last night went really well! I know people left changed and touched by God. 
It was a good night! God really proved to me that when I'm weak, He is so faithful to be my strength! 
He is good, ALL the time. I am so thankful that He is with me all the time. I cannot imagine living this life without Him. Thank you God for your faithfulness!
