S.H.A.P.E and Calling

Our S.H.A.P.E and Strengths

A few thoughts on "Calling" from the book: 

THE GRAND WEAVER   
How God Shapes Us Through the Events of Our Lives

 By Ravi Zacharias
 
To allow God to be God we must follow him for who he is and what he intends, and not for what we want or what we prefer. Seeing the designing hand of God and His intervention in our lives in such a way that we know He has a specific purpose for each of us and that He will carry us through until we meet Him face-to-face and know ourselves completely. 
Once we begin to see God’s hand in our life, we will know that his workmanship within us and through us was tailor-made, just for me. His design for my life pulls together every thread of my existence into a magnificent work of art. Every thread matters and has a specific purpose. 
By his sovereign will, we have come into being with an expressed and designed purpose. 
When you finally meet the One who made you and examine the lifelines he has sent you along the way, you will at last understand how every detail made sense in the swirling reality of life’s blessings and threats.

Foundation For His Ministry: Latest prayer and praise report 5/1/2015

   
 

Praise Reports:   
.Charla writes: 
Praise God! On Sunday, April 26, First Presbyterian Church of Hollywood Pastor Dan Baumgartner interviewed and honored me and FFHM at the Sunday morning service. Can you believe this? I, not Chuck, sang a solo acapella as part of the interview. Since the inception of this historic church they have focused on global missions.

.In Gatesville, Texas, ten inmates (known as the "Women in White") who completed the "Discipleship Unlimited" faith based program were released. These women prayed for us and sent sacrificial gifts. Pray for them as they return to society and establish their new lives.

.Thank you for praying for the medical team that went to Sinaloa. They attended to many patients, saw the great need in that area and are already planning a return trip for the fall.
