The epistle of James

James, a servant of God and of Jesus Christ.

To the twelve tribes scattered among the nations.

Greetings.

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds because you know that testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete not lacking anything.

(A small group of us are memorizing the epistle of James. Please pray that God would use it to minister to us and draw us closer to Himself).

God's been working on my heart to do something, anything for Him. As mentioned in my last post I've wanted to intentionally develop relationships with those who live in Harrisburg. Lately, I've been so caught up in just learning my job that I come home and I'm too tired to do anything else. Therefore, I decided two weekends ago that I'd have a cookout and see what happens. So, I invited my friends and the neighbors to Cindy's house for a burgers and hot dogs. I was discouraged because none of the neighbors were able to come. However, I know God used it in several ways. My friends who don't normally come into the city came to the house. In addition, the neighbors saw that we have friends and that we can have a fun time.

I'm trying to figure out what God's saying to me about ministering to widows and orphans. It is mentioned throughout His Word. Please pray that I would be take time to listen and do what He leads me to do. I want to be a person of action and not just talking about what I should do, but doing it!
