A few weeks ago, I was able to attend a weekly Bible study, something I haven't been able to do for more than a year. I had already come to realize that it was something I needed to do if I could, but it wasn't until afterward that I realized how much I missed being part of one.
I realized that I needed to do something about it.
This last week, I went to work to see if I could adjust my schedule so that I could attend a study on Thursday nights. Normally, I work for 1:30-10;00 pm Monday to Friday. If my request is accepted, I'll be working 9:00 am to 5:30 pm on Thursday nights. I'm waiting for a response for my manager; hopefully, I'll get a response this week. Admittedly, when I submitted my request for the schedule change, I wasn't sure how to ask for it. As far as they know, it's just that I need to have my Thursday evenings open.
Recently, Mom, Dad, and I restarted our nightly prayer time together, and we've been keeping this in our prayers. James 5:16 says, "The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective" (NIV). God has been hearing our prayers and answered some; others, we are still waiting for the answer, whatever God decides it may be.
It used to be that Mom, Dad, and I would pray together nightly. When I started working at UPrinting, I began keeping late hours, such that Mom and Dad are usually asleep by the time I get home. Now that we're back to doing it on a regular basis, they're either awake when I get home (usually Dad) or they'll have me wake them up so we can pray together. It seems like it's been good for all of us.
