Exercising Our Faith

Well, I've been officially leading an exercise/devotional class for 3 weeks now. So far, I have had at least 5 in attendance each week and I know more will be coming next week. (Our meeting time will be later so more people can come.) I cannot begin to describe how excited I am about this! As some of you know my life verse comes from 1Peter 4:10: "As each one has received a gift, let him minister it to one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God." About a year and a half ago, this verse picked me... I didn't pick it. I was reading some verses about wives/husbands and came across it. It was like it jumped off of the page; I was able to understand what it implies right away, but I wasn't sure how it was going to apply in my life.

I was struggling for a while about being content in my day-to-day life. I was grasping for the future (read previous blog "So I'm Selfish") and missing out on what God was wanting me to do here and now. I asked a couple of friends to pray for me in that situation and I cannot tell you how the Lord has responded! Wishing for the "next big change" in my life is not on my mind much at all anymore. I am being used where I am and I PRAY that I can impact others lives through my new "ministry" that I have named "Exercise Your Faith." Here's our Mission verse:

1Corinthians 6:19 & 20 "Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's."

Oh, and please pray that we will be granted a big enough room for our meetings. Our meeting place thus far was only temporary and yesterday was our last day there. Have a blessed day!
