I love MORNINGS!

...especially a morning that begins with discipleship with God's precious daughters pictured below!  Typically we meet on Thursday nights at the Shuler household but since a few of the girls have senior project speeches on Thursday night this week and no other night collectively worked out - we decided to have a morning date instead!

Can you guess who is a morning person and who is not?!


I LOVE THESE FACES!!!

Morning person or not?

When I think of my heart for these girls, I immediately think of Paul's letter to the Philippian church and the deep love and affection that he has for them. 

³ I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, ⁴ always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy, ⁵ for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now, ⁶ being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ; ⁷ just as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as both in my chains and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers with me of grace. ⁸ For God is my witness, how greatly I long for you all with the affection of Jesus Christ.  ⁹ And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, ¹⁰ that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ, ¹¹ being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

Philippians 1:3-11

I deeply love & care about these girls and their spiritual best interest just as Paul shares his heart for the church of Philippi.   I thank God for them, covering them in prayer daily (many times praying exactly what vs. 9-11 says above), and discipling them to the best of my ability yet allowing them to be free to choose what they want for their life!  

Thank you Jesus for being the perfect example of what a disciple-maker looks like.  Help me to model after you...
