Today is Thursday, September 16th, 2010; Karen's Korner #1909
Today is the day that Jacob and Jaynie Michael left the Clarion area after spending parts of six days in our midst. As you may recall from a korner a day or so ago they are missionaries in Mozambique, Africa.
I have 'assigned' each of them to write a future Karen's Korner, so stayed tuned for that.
Below is several notes from Jacob's sermon on Sunday:
"Five BEs; start today!
1) BE available. Work with God. Do His work. Matthew 28:20 says to 'teach new disciples....knowing that I am with you'. As you are going on this journey of life, make disciples along the way.
2) BE open to God's leading. Missionaries are ones who are sent; we are all sent by God. If you are led by Him, He will give you the desires of your heart.
3) BE willing to make adjustments. Seek out others for information; look to church leaders or counselors. Do this regarless of your age.
4) BE willing to keep the course. Don't give up. If you have a ministry; keep at it. Seek good counsel.
5) BE willing to give God the glory.
"If you do these things, you will BE successful because you have been faithful. Matthew 25:21: 'Jesus said, 'You have been faithful in handling small amounts, now I will give you many responsibilities. Begin the joyous tasks I have assigned to you.'
