My friend, Elisa, sent me an email about having an evening of prayer. I saw it was on a Friday night, SCORE! So I knew I could attend, I printed out directions from my job to her house and went about my business, never once thinking to ask what we were praying for.
When I got there, she told me we were praying for the AWANA group we were involved in, but I was the only one invited who showed up. So instead we chatted while I ate pizza about this and that and just had a great time hanging with each other. Then on a surprising note of the evening, she took out the Sonlight manual and asked, “Which of these Cores do you need and what books go with them?” I was so shocked, she walked me to her son’s room and started giving me books. I wasn’t expecting this. Didn’t ask for this, but she so generously gave to me. Science stuff, Sonlight stuff, penmenship stuff. God loves a cheerful giver and let me tell you, Elisa, was a cheerful giver. And after the giving, another mom remembered while getting her girls ready for bed about the evening of prayer and came over.
So we did in fact have a prayer time and fellowship time amongst the three of us. What an awesome night. It’s so great to fellowship with my sisters in Christ who are also moms, I wish I could do more of that and that I had more sisters with kids.
I wasn't sure what the evening was going to be about other than there was going to be some prayer and what I got was some awesome fellowship time and some much needed pray.
