the barnabas gift...

is encouragement. Barnabas was the guy in the Bible who never gave up on his buddy John Mark, who was a failure sometimes.

Lord, let me be an encourager.

one of my spiritual daughters thanked me this week for being such a great cheerleader.

my heart rejoiced at such a description of what i do in this season of my life. i am no longer DOING the doing...i am cheering on those who DO it.

i'm in the wings...prompting.

a wonderful time of life.

and on a totally unrelated note, just because i can, here's a picture of the cutest little girl in the world.
