Sunday was a blessed day for me. I am currently attending an all ladies' Bible class.

About 22 jr hi girls with 8 adults women as sponsors are leaving on an inner city mission trip Wednesday. They are going to Ft. Worth and will be spending time in a homeless women and children's shelter among other things.

They were one excited bunch of girls.

We invited them to our ladies' class, got one-on-one in order to meet them and introduce them to the rest of the group, prayed for them and with them, and took those little hospital bracelets, writing one name per bracelet for all of the ladies in the class to wear so it would remind us to pray for that particular girl by name.

Our ladies class also bought and put together little survival kits with travel size products enclosed (q tips, shampoo, tootpaste and brush, etc.) for the girls to pass out at the shelter.

Next, I went to a potluck meeting with my IATW mission team. It is exciting to see it come together and to get to know these dear brothers and sisters who are all part of the team.

Around 5 pm, I went to Highland's prayer room and spent the next 2 1/2 hours praying with several other people about a host of concerns. It was truly a blessed time.

After that, Jim and I enjoyed a late supper with Rick and Dianne Bennett who are childless this week while their kids are occupied with camps, etc.

Jim has always been good to take out the trash for my mom, so that was our next stop.

But the day wasn't over for us, because we still had a two-hour drive back to Post from Abilene.

And I thanked God for a glorious day, full of His abundance.
