Sunday Style // Cameo Appearance

There's a chilly Fall nip in the air, and I'm so excited to pull out my jackets, long skirts, and sweaters again!  Autumn is my favorite season, partially because of layering.  So many more accessory options!

I'll admit it...I was distracted yesterday and I honestly don't remember much of the sermon.  See, we've all done it.  Don't be afraid to admit it!  Just ask the Lord to help you concentrate and do the best you can.
I do remember that we were in John 17 and this verse jumped out at me...
I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are mine. John 17:9
This is Jesus speaking to the Father.  He prays for us, folks.  For those who are His.  If you're a believer, then you are His and He prays for you.  Think about that.  I gave up on concentrating on the sermon yesterday and just pondered that verse.  And felt very, very special.  Very, very loved by my Savior.
How was your Sunday?  What was your sermon about?  I want to know!

Continue in Prayer

This morning's devotion in Morning and Evening (by Charles H. Spurgeon) seemed written just for me.

Here's a short excerpt...

"If thou be a child of God, thou wilt seek thy Father's face, and live in thy Father's love.  Pray that this year thou mayst be holy, humble, zealous, and patient; have closer communion with Christ, and enter oftener into the banqueting-house of His love.  Pray that thou mayst be an example and a blessing unto others, and that thou mayst live more to the glory of thy Master.  The motto for this year must be, "Continue in prayer."

It tied in so perfectly to my goal for this year!  Don't you just love it when that happens?

Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;

Walk in wisdom towards them that are without, redeeming the time.

Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.

Colossians 4: 2,5 & 6

I do take this for my motto.
