On a good path: follow-up to Roundabout

Wow, God, you're neat!

One of the single gals from my small group that I invited over for lunch last week asked me to mentor her! I am thrilled!!! We'll meet once a month for lunch before small group. I am to encourage her in her quest for trusting God in discovering His call for her. Does that sound familiar to anyone who has known me for the past 10 years!!?? Yes, I'm only slightly ahead of her in the journey. But, four things I know with absolute certainty:

1. We will only bear fruit as we abide in the Vine. 
2. His will for us is our sanctification.
3. From the foundations of the word, He has established good works for us to do.
4. We can do all things through Christ who is our strength.

I wonder if she has any idea of the plan I have in mind for her (us!).... Being the Planner/ Educator/ Cheer Leader that I am, I will need to remember to use this as an excellent opportunity to grow in my listening and obeying the leading of God's Spirit, not merely depending on my own strengths.

Hm, yes, I think He has great plans in mind for both of us.
