Reminder For Prayer

Friday's tend to get busy when we are planning for the evening dinner at the house.  As I was driving to Kroger to pick up some last minute fixings for Andrew's chili the Lord reminded me to pray.  Specifically he reminded me to pray for new people to come and not just new people but new people who are not in a relationship with him or maybe close to it.  We had a small crowd that evening which makes for more intimate conversation.  Aaron Renfroe brought two of his friends from school and Andrew brought a coworker who was new to Lexington.  When Andrew and I were talking about faith sharing at his work he acknowledges how it just takes time to build a rapport with people before they will listen.  Andrew told his coworker that we were starting a church and wanted to be straight up about it.  Despite having a smaller crowd we all had a great time and it was one of the better dinners we have had.  At the end of the night I remembered the prayer I prayed earlier and how the Lord answered it.
