#TestimonyTuesday: A Slower Answer To Prayer, Part II
https://www.berrybunch.family/testimonytuesday-a-slower-answer-to-prayer-part-ii/
This is the second part of our two part #TestimonyTuesday series on God’s provision. Last week our prayer was answered before we prayed it. This time it took us a little while to be ready for a miracle, and so God could hear our prayer.
Have you got a testimony we can share of God at work today?

Morning all, from an overcast UK.
Made Jo a flask of coffee for when she gets to work. And a second flask of soup for her lunch.
I've said goodbye to Jo for another day and the washing is on the line. Dishwasher ready for emptying and then I crack on with another day of editing.
God is good.

@Lindseyay those smiles say it all 🙂

‘…Like butter scraped over too much bread.’
How would you describe your feelings when you are feeling tired, out of salts, harassed or even stressed? When life has got you down, got the better of you, taken it out of you?
Can you relate to the J.R.R. Tolkien’s analogy in his book the Lord of the Rings given by one of the characters – Bilbo, the Hobbit – who has clearly had enough and appears quite warn out by life?
“I feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread.”
It is true that Bilbo at this point was over 100 years old and therefore these feelings of tiredness may have related, to some extent, to his age. However, the Bible tells us:
‘Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion.’ (Isaiah 40:30) [READ MORE]

Endurance, Adaptation not Justification, S04E08
This week we are discussing the idea of adapting to different situations without justifying sin.
Endurance is your weekly spiritual workout, whether you think of yourself as a beginner, an intermediate, or advanced!
Andy B unravels this week’s theme with some examples of adapting well and adapting poorly.
He explains how witnessing to French people in German would not work, because they wouldn’t understand you.
Steven and Nathan talk about adapting to different situations. They discuss how to adapt our behaviour in a Godly way.
They talk about a couple of scenarios in which we adapt to different environments or audiences in a healthy way. [READ MORE)

Family Prayer Time - S01E009 - Architecture (France)
Peter & JoJo get together to encourage us, as always, to pray as a family. And they continue their series on using objects to help us stay focused in prayer.
This week, JoJo & Peter continue to inspire us into praying for different countries, nations, or places in the world by using, this time, architecture or buildings found in locations within countries.
Peter and JoJo encourage us to find replicas or photographs of architecture, buildings or constructions that are either infamous or simply located in a specific country to remind us of that country for which we want to pray.
With a photograph of the Eiffel Tower in front of them Peter and JoJo pray for France.
C’est la Vie!

Family Prayer Time - S01E010 - Ramadan
Peter & JoJo get together to encourage us, as always – to pray as a family. This time, as suggested by Darlene from DingDash, Peter and JoJo pray for people across the world who are partaking in Ramadan.
Ramadan is a religious time of fasting for a whole month, from dawn to sunset – for Muslims to devote time to their Religion. This year Ramadan started on 2nd April, and lasts 30 days.
Peter and JoJo pray for people practising Ramadan around the world who are devoting time for prayer and reflection to get closer to God.
It is good to take time to seek God and the bible tells us to:
‘Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.’ (Matthew 6:33)

I got to listen to Brother Yun this morning. Unfortunately his interpreter Brother Ren has fallen sick, so I wasn't able to send greetings to him from @sinbach I tried to talk to Yun in English, and a few phrases in German, but he seems to prefer Chinese. 😉 They found a stand in on a short notice, a Chinese woman with another Chinese dialect, who isn't fluent in Swedish (the language of the church I went to). So I suppose the preaching today wasn't as long and in depth as it could have been. But his message 'Jesus loves you' got through. The boy with the mask on, is a 16-year-old local Finn who speaks Chinese because he has lived for ten years in Western China (close to Qinghai Lake) where his father has worked with Bible translation. He has continued his work from Finland.
