I was in the boiler room (24 hour prayer room) and the first thing on my agenda to pray for was that my oldest son (Nathan) would start to sit on the potty. He has been wearing underwear for a few days now but refuses to sit on the potty. Anyway, I got into the prayer room at about 12:05 and started praying about this issue. My wife has just informed me that at about the same time, he decided to sit on the potty. PRAISE GOD!! This is definately a step in the right direction. Please pray that this will continue as it has been a bit of a challenge every step of the way.
During my time in the prayer room, I did a lectio divina exercise. The scripture was from Isaiah 6:1-8 which talks about Isaiahs vision of God when King Uzziah died. It is a very detailed description of what he saw and what was said to him. After Isaiah saw the vision, he said in verse 5, "Woe to me, I am ruined for I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among people of unclean lips and my eyes have seen the king, the LORD Almighty." He was in fear of God because he knew of God's glory and the power that God has. Then one of the seraphs flew to him with a burning coal and touched it on his lips and said that his guilt is taken away and his sins atoned for. How amazing is the reality of this statement!! Christ has taken away all of the guilt and sins that we have ever committed if we are willing to follow Him. In Isaiah's vision, the LORD asks, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" To which Isaiah replied, "Here am I, send me." These words really spoke to me. God revealed Himself to me through these words. I really felt Him saying that because Christ has come and saved me, I must be willing to follow Him no matter where He wants me to go.
I don't have a clue where it is that God wants to take me, but I know that I am willing to do whatever it is. Everyday I have to wake up and say, "Here I am Lord, send me, use me, and work through me today."
If we as Christians really take the time to seek God in everything, even something like asking Him to help your son go pee on the potty, we will see amazing things happen because He can do imeasuably more than we can even fatham!! Praise Him!!

Praise God for answered prayer!
Sounds like God is rocking your socks off with meditation on his word. Keep it up. With your new found passion to go wherever he sends you, try asking him each day. Ask for divine connection, appt, conversation. Ask Him to show you where he's working in a person's life and then seek courage, words & wisdom in how to respond/engage that person.
He won't disappoint. I (should I say we) look forward to hearing how you & God make out.
Go, man go!
