Schedule for Tomorrow (Friday)

1.Finish my bookkeeping for all receipts for 2011

2. Finish writing a new page for the web site to update our information about our homeless outreach; we have a new leader, and new photos need to be organized and posted along with a summary I need to write to convey our shift in leadership as well as details about how we feed the homeless in Santa Monica and Venice Beach bi-weekly.

3. Go to post office to mail out 3 boxes of resources to various locations

4. Get my boxes of mail waiting on me downstairs and organize new supplies and resources in storage unit

5. Email mp3s of my new songs to NYC

6. Spend some time in prayer about our new ministry locations, asking God for more funds for Boston and GA Tech outreach locations

7. At 2:00 meet with a tech guy who is going to show me how to better send out the ministry newsletters; they will be sent to a central server...; he is going to download all of my contacts and teach me how to better send out monthly e-newsletters in a more efficient way; he says this counsel is free, and the monthly charge is going to be 10.00 for this service, which will enable me to send my newsletter to ONE email server which will then send out the newsletter to all of the ministry contacts

8. Call John Rosser about leading the new outreach location to GA Tech and get more details about how and where we can set up a table outreach there

9. Order more resources for this outreach location

10. Pray for funds; we have never gotten in debt since LTW began, and God has proven He will provide for wherever He wants us to go. If He wants us to expand to GA Tech and Boston, He will provide the funds for resources.

11. Send more packages of CD copies of "Zen Buddism" and "Transcendental Meditation" and "Tools of the Occult" to Boulder, along with cards inviting people to visit http://www.bygodsgrace.org/ for that outreach location.

12. Continue to firm up plans for Geneva, Switzerland this Easter. Though I have the air mile points and the "free" hotel accomodations, it takes a lot of time to plan.

13. Call Mexico again to speak with Rosa, our leader for Los Cabos, and see if she needs more materials for the outreach.

14. Listen to more radio programs by Jan Markell to see if we need to make copies to address specific concerns and questions in various outreach locations.

(I am heading to bed now, enjoying my book, 'Living for Jesus' by Robert Dickie Jr. It is a great book, and I am finding it very encouraging. It has been another busy day. I realize my days are in God's hands, and my life is short, and I want to make the most of it for God's glory. It seems there is so little time for all I want to do. It comforts me to know that at the end of another very busy day when I have not gotten all the work done, GOD WANTS MY HEART. I can give that to Him. I thank Him for loving my soul, because I will never be able to "do" enough...to show gratitude for the way He loves my mere existence. I don't work hard to make Him love me more or to prove myself to Him in any way; I work hard because He loves me, and there is just so much I want to do for Him to thank Him for such amazing love.)

The Lord has blessed me by giving me the song "He Looked Beyond My Fault (And Saw My Need)". I have listened to it at least 100 times since I recorded it. I love it so much. It was mixed last Saturday (and can be heard for free on my FB "fan"/music page. God could not give me a greater gift (other than my salvation, of course, and the love of my family). There is no greater gift to my soul than a beautiful song in praise to Jesus. I can't imagine life without music. How I praise God for how my mother has always filled the home with music by playing the piano, and I thank Him for every song.

Busy working in evangelism--not because I am so smart or want people to like me or want people to be impressed or want to offend :-) or want to draw attention to myself. I'm busy working in evangelism because HE LOOKED BEYOND MY FAULT AND SAW MY NEED.

Forever grateful to Jesus,

Dwayna
