My First Blog Post!

I've read blogs for quite a while now. It's how I stay connected to people and what is happening at home when I travel. I've often thought about starting a blog. But, it scares me! I'm not computer literate by most standards.

Tomorrow, in church, we will be praying one of my favorite prayers. It's John Wesley's Covenant Prayer. The entire covenant service is amazing, but it's the prayer that grabs my heart. I challenge you, not only to read the prayer, but to pray it, meditate on it. Make it your covenant with the one and only living God.

I am no longer mine own, but Thine.

Put me to what Thou wilt, rank me with whom Thou wilt;

Put me to doing, put me to suffering;

Let me be employed for Thee or laid aside for Thee;

Exalted for Thee or brought low for Thee;

Let me be full, let me be empty;

Let me have all things, let me have nothing;

I freely and heartily yield all things to Thy pleasure and disposal.

And now, O Glorious and Blessed God,

Father, Son and Holy Spirit,

Thou art mine and I am Thine.

So be it.

And the covenant which I have made on earth,

Let it be ratified in heaven.

Amen.
