Prayer letter for 5-30-09 Intentional Disciple Makers

Sorry about that. I actually forgot to do this in a timely manner.First I want you to know that I appreciate your prayers. God seems to have made a clear connection between intercession and what He does. God does because we ask, sometimes to the point, sometimes not, but He always answers us. Yes he does understand baby talk and often that is all I have. I am so grateful for His work, and our part in it. What a privilege.Please pray for continued discovery of those who want to grow to become reproductive disciples. I have some ideas about who I might approach, but it is still something that is in His hands. I am praying for two more couples in these next couple of months. Pray for us, Myrna and I, as we seek ways, and sometimes the desire to reach our neighbors. It is difficult to hold an intelligent discussion about any thing if the only time you see them is when they drive by. Neither Myrna or myself are especially forward about this. Ask Him for our boldness, and for His opportunity.We love all of you,

Charles and Myrna

My Passion, Prayer and Commitment to fulfill the Harvest,
by intentionally multiplying laborers.
-- Matthew 9:37,38; 28:19,20; Psalm 90:17; Acts 26:18

(Intend + Choose + Act) by means of Phil. 4:13
Believing that God has called me to the task of helping to fulfill the great commission and to praying that He, the Lord of the harvest, would send forth more laborers.

Some elements on being who you are

Thomas Leonard, founder of Coach U and Coachville, one time listed ten things every person needed to be all they could be. Maybe these are not the only things, but here is a list of what he thought was important:
  1. Honor your boundaries
  2. Raise your standards
  3. Clarify your requirements
  4. Finish your unfinished business.
  5. Get your personal needs met
  6. Orient around your values
  7. Build reserves in all areas
  8. Identify and reduce tolerations.
  9. Handle the money, completely.
  10. Define success for yourself.

Hitting what you look at.

That you go where you are looking is a principle in life. It is like golfing and focusing on "NOT' going in to the lake on your left. If you focus on the lake you will get it. Advice, focus on the green. When I was about 16 or so, a friend had me drive his car, because he had already been pulled over for not having a driver's license. He was too young also. In any case, the left tie rod broke while driving and the car behave, as you can imagine, very eradically. My friend said, "Don't hit that telephone pole." That's right folks, dead center. Nobody hurt, but it did cost me $50 dollars fine for driving without a license.

The lesson is make sure the goals you are working on are really the goals you want to work on. It is almost a sure thing you will hit the tree you look at.
