Sorry it’s been a while since I’ve wrote. I hope you all are doing well. Feel free to write and tell me about what’s going on in your life and if there’s anything I can pray for you about.
Tonight, my brother (Dan) and I were reading in Proverbs. There were a few verses that stuck out to me and they were the ones that talked about following those who walk in the way of the Lord. It made me start thinking of how wise it is to learn and walk with those who are really pursuing the Lord and seeking after Him.
I’ve been taught for years that I should hang out with older people to gain wisdom from them that they have learned over the years. I find this a lot with my Grandma, in particular. While we have our extreme personality differences, she has learned a lot about the power of prayer and seeking the Lord and reading His word and giving to others when you have the capability. When I spend time with her, I find these things sinking inside me whether I realize it at the time or not. I would do well to remember (more often) to stop what I’m doing and pray over situations instead of getting frustrated.
My point tonight though, isn’t necessarily just learning from the older generation. I want you guys to think about who you could spend time with that would challenge you to go deeper in your walk with the Lord. By spending time with others who are pursuing the things of God, I think we find encouragement. We can learn together, share stories, pray together, etc. This could be people older, younger, or even your own age. But I want us to think about who we can spend time with that will help us move forward in our walks with the Lord this summer.
I hope to hear from you!
Lots of love~Lisa
