MOLESKIN:
Great to see the core out today, it is an honor and pleasure to get to know and live life along side you gentlemen. Also to watch the growth of these men from their first couple weeks to where they are several months later. Encouraging to see you men show up week after week. Remember, it’s not getting any easier, yall are getting stronger! Between 40 Days/Nights to the Worm wall; Lucky, Travolta and YHC were running and commenting on amazingly the rain had stopped. I shared that around 3AM I woke up and it was a downpour. I remember saying “Lord, can it stop for about an hour, say 0545-0645 maybe?” Sure enough, rain held off until around 0700 out this way. YHC calls these fluffy white cloud prayers. Those prayers that rooted more out of wants and not necessarily needs. Shared this in COT as just a reminder that God the Father is ALWAYS there listening to all our prayers, even our fluffy white cloud prayers. And when He answers those fluffy prayers, it is just a reminder of His provision for each and every one of our needs and even sometimes our wants. Our God is good, all the time, AYE!
