International Fellowship

I've been checking out my stats in the blogging world lately, and was incredibly delighted to see that people all over the world have been hopefully inspired by what I've shared over the last 2 years!  So- who's been reading? 

In no specific order: US, Russia, China, Japan, Ukraine, Georgia, UK, Thailand, German, and Iran!  The darker the green, the more hits on the website.  I only wish that more people would comment.  I would hope that this can be a place for open conversation about faith-based discussions. 

While you're here, please say a prayer for a friend of mine who is struggling with a life of vocation. 

A prayer for vocation:

Almighty Father,

You send the gift of Your Holy Spirit

for the building of Your Kingdom.

With the help of this Spirit,

Give us the grace to listen to Your call in our lives.

Give us strength & courage to do Your will.

Grant us wisdom & humility to choose Your way

even when we find it most difficult.

Lord, bless all the faithful in Your church

who are seeking holiness,

But in a special way,

watch over priests, borthers, & sisters.

Help them to give their lives in joyful service

that they may be signs of Your presence among us.

We beg you, Father,

to fill our hearts with a burning desire to follow Jesus.

May there be many who offer their lives

for the service of Your church,

that all may come to know and love You.

We ask this through Christ our Lord,

Amen.
