Dear God,

A uniting of spirits, a seeing together the leading of your spirit. She and I listened for your spirit together. Wanting to minister to children and to adults, we sought to find ways to bring to light your word.

Whenever we begin a new theme for your church, Donna and I have to pray again, searching for creative ways to touch and inspire hearts for your service. It seems so difficult at first because it is new. The old won't work when we're trying to keep your word fresh.

When the ideas begin to come, we sense your presence. We know in the depths of our hearts that we want only to follow you, to journey into unfamiliar places, anticipating signs that will guide us. When we see the merger of paths becoming one, we know we know we are walking together with you. We know our spiritual act of waiting, listening, and following is a deep trusting of your will to be done. By the time we wrap it up, we know we have spent time with angels, saints and the Holiest of All.

Your will
is always best.
Your way
teaches us
to trust.
We see evidence
of your coming.
We know
that if we are obedient,
you will
bless our efforts,
making us partners
with creation itself.
And we will depart
from one another
with glad hearts.

Love, Andrea
