The Power of a Note

I don’t know about you, but I am a NOTE TAKER!!!! My desk at work is covered with little notes to remind me of the most important things that need to be taken care of. I have notes at home for groceries, things to be done around the house, when and where the family needs to be through the week….oh yea I am a NOTE TAKER!!!!

I was in a bible study a few years back, and the lady who was leading the study, challenged us to write down the things that we wanted God to work out most in our lives. I remember thinking, how silly….why would God react to a list I wrote in the back of my study book? I remember writing that I would like to get the courage to pray in public, that I wanted to be still long enough to feel the Holy Spirit’s presence in my life and ease my anxiety long enough to focus on what God wanted me to do in my life. Well months went by, and do you know I started slowly seeing the things I wrote down start to happen. I was asked to help be a part of VBS at our church, and was asked by our director to lead prayer for our volunteers and I was soooooooo scared!! But I did it, I prayed and remember the first person I saw when I looked up was my pastor, and I looked straight at him and said I have never prayed in public before, and he just hugged me and said, you did GREAT!! WOW the power of a note, on a piece of paper, from my bible study months ago!!

I want to challenge you to do the same thing I did so many years ago, use this notepad that you received from our precious VBS children and use it to write down the things you want God to do most in your life. Maybe you want him to speak to you about work, family, your children, your marriage…or just to be still long enough to hear him speak to you. Whatever it is write it down, pray about it and lift it up to the Holy Spirit who can hear you whether you say it, feel it in your heart or write it down on a notepad. I hope you feel the Power of a Note very soon in your life.

Thank you for reading our blog, we love you but God loves you so very much more than us. I pray that you hear him speak to you and that the things you do write down are lifted up to the Holy Spirit and that you slowly start to see and realize the things you wrote down are being done by the Power of the Note that you wrote to our Almighty God!!
