Givin' Him Some Praise!!

Hey Ignite Girls!
This morning I came across something I had written back in April of this year. This was way before Ignite even had a name or a purpose statement, we were still in the very beginning stages of planning and praying. I had started a list of prayer requests (2 pages!) of things that my heart was desperate for, things that we needed that I knew only God could provide. Things like child care workers, table leaders, specific direction for the lessons, and the list goes on and on. As I began reading down the list I was overwhelmed at all the requests that have already been answered! I began writing "Thank You Jesus!" by all of the ones that He has answered and continued to pray the ones that are still a need. I was blown away! Then I got frustrated with myself because I not taken the time to do this before now. I have allowed myself to get so busy with what is going on around me that I had not taken the time to THANK God for what He has already done. God is up to something big in Ignite and He is pouring out His blessings and favor over us in a most obvious way. I don't want to forget that or miss any of it for a split second. I am going to be very deliberate in my praise to Him today! And while I'm at it, let me say a HUGE thank you to all of you who are playing a role in Ignite! Thank you for your willingness to serve and thank you for allowing me the opportunity to serve alongside of you. As God shapes our hearts to respond to Him with Radical Obedience, may He blow us away with more than we could even think to ask or imagine! Come to think of it, He already has.
