verse: Do not worry about about what you should say. For the Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say Luke 12:11
comments: I have coffee on Wed. morning with a group of ladies from mixed church relations from Protestants , catholic, Jewish to those who DO NOT ATTEND anywhere. I want so much to be a witness but have strruggled with what to say to this group. Then the Lord gave me this verse from Luke 12:1. Soon after receiving this promise the Lord gave me a wonderful chance to share how God had answered prayer for us in India. God is so good.

| Romans 5:1-5 |
| |
verse: "Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. - Romans 5:1-5
comments: My year verse is not so much what is contained in the verse as a whole, rather, it is in the one single word that stands out to me, PERSEVERANCE. I have asked the Lord this year to especially give me the ability to persevere. As a missionary having served eighteen years in Argentina, I am fairly acquainted with tribulations. By persevering, character is built which brings forth HOPE. And hope in Christ is what keeps me persevering in the ministry.

| Romans 8:35-39 |
| |
verse: Romans 8:35-39: Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: "For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered." No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels or demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
comments:
These verses remind me that no matter what comes my way to get me down, nothing ca nkeep me from God's love.

| Romans 12: 1-2 |
| |
verse: Romans 12:1,2 Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God-- this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will.
comments: I really feel that Romans 12 is going to be my year "verse" (I know, chapter). What a chapter full of wisdom for life and this coming year! I pray that these 2 verses will be your testimony this year! Be Transformed!

comments: This has been a turbulent year with all the stuff that has transpired. However, I do want to share my 2009 verse with you guys. We went through a downsize at John Wesley and it is easy to be overworked and overwhelmed. Yet in the midst of it all, I need to continue to share what I know and what I have become convinced of because I know those who were instrumental in shaping my life - and I'm just trying to pass it on.
