From now on you will catch men...

Our Bible study on Monday nights continues to be a blessing, both to the ladies who attend and to us. We have a rotating group of about 5 who come, and two of those attend faithfully. "Eve" and "Mary" are showing so much growth in the Lord, which is beautiful to see! Last week we studied Luke 2:5-11, where Jesus calls the first disciples. The guy who was teaching us pointed out that, according to the other gospels, Jesus already had a relationship with Simon Peter at the time of His calling him to be a fisher of men. They had met, but Simon was still fishing to earn a living--he hadn't yet left everything to follow Jesus in full-time ministry. That message was so challenging to me, and I hope as well to Eve and Mary. They can both see that, in their own lives, the are afraid to trust God to take care of every need they have if they step out to obey faithfully. We're praying that they'll have the strength to do the same thing Simon did--to put down their nets, give up their jobs, and follow Jesus wherever He leads. Also, Eve continues to have dreams; last week, she dreamed that Jesus came to her with words of encouragement, and she had never felt so loved and happy. Please pray that she continues to hear God speak to her. It's been so amazing to see with my own eyes as God works in these ladies. Thank you for being involved in changing lives!
