We had a productive meeting last month. Our next meeting will be Tuesday March 12. We have a call volunteer but please share the information with all sisters in your contact base whether by call, text, or email.
Also share our next fellowship which is tomorrow at Southern Grind Cofe located at the Scenic Highway and Scotland Avenue/Swan Street crossover. It's in the same location where Brother Sewell's store used to be. at 8418 Scotland Avenue. It is refreshing to have such an outing while supporting this type of business in our community.
Our plan is to meet in the church parking lot first and consolidate for carpooling at 1:15 PM. We are to meet at SGC at 1:30 PM.
While there we can discuss our next outing to the movies to see The Green Book.

We want to give praises for the planning and implementing of the dinner for First Lady Billberry by Sister Nona Haynes. The Sisterhood members agreed to give a donation for this endeavor. I understand it was a wonderful event. I wish I could have been there, but the folks sent in my place --including my mother --gave wonderful reports!
God loves you; I love you...and there's nothing you can do about it!
See you soon!

A
Prayer for When You are Battle Weary
By Bobbie Schaeperkoetter
By Bobbie Schaeperkoetter
Do
not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the
LORD will be with you. - 2 Chronicles 20:17
Do
you feel the tension that seems to permeate the air of this world lately?
Things just feel heavy. Hearts are hurting. People are discouraged and
dissatisfied. It seems as if this whole world is worn down from struggles and
it would be so very easy to just give in to the pull of weariness and
discontent.
In
the middle of the strife and struggles, we can start to feel overwhelmed, worn,
and just plain weary. When these feelings come, and they linger far past their
welcome, what can we do to keep our heads up? How do we remain hopeful when
things just seem so difficult?
Maybe
a good place to start is to look at someone else who was weary in the battle
and see how they overcame it. In 2 Chronicles 20,
Jehoshaphat is facing a multitude that has come against him. He’s going to have
to fight his enemies. However, when he seeks God’s battle plan, he sees that it
is a little different than the one he might have been considering.
Maybe
like Jehoshaphat, God’s plan to overcome our battles looks a little different
than ours.
Battle
weary friend, we do not need to be overcome by the strife and the difficulties
that surround us. Let’s give up our battle plan with all of the fear, worry,
discouragement, wobbliness, and struggling that it brings and follow God’s plan
instead. We can embrace the peace, hope, and assurance He offers. After all,
His record for victory is pretty solid.
Let’s
Pray:
Lord,
I admit, I am weary. Life is going a million miles an hour and I am just trying
to hang on. I am tired and I am afraid when I look to the future and think
about all that is coming. Lord, I know You want me to trust You through this. I
know You want me to surrender this weariness to You. I surrender now. Fill me
with Your strength. Fill me with Your presence. Help me find moments today of
rest and rejuvenation. Thank You that You never abandon us in the midst of the
battle. Thank you for your everlasting faithfulness. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
