Paulette's Prayer Request

Dear Friends,



I’m ready for all 49 plus of you to send up prayers this week on behalf of my Kingdom Assignment. I have been working diligently since early on in our assignment to create an idea that involves the sharing of groceries with anyone in need. I created the concept and pitched it in person locally and via the internet to a large grocery store chain. Everyone in my local store and those few folks that I have shared the idea with believe it’s a terrific idea and that it could have a nice impact on our community. Here’s where I‘ve hit a snag. I can accomplish my Kingdom Assignment on a variety of scales, but I didn’t want to limit God, so I started by reaching for the stars and went to a man higher in the chain of command in the corporate offices of this grocery chain. Three weeks have passed since I e-mailed him my package and I haven’t heard one word back. (Crickets chirping in the silence) I don’t want to pressure him for a decision and ruin any chance I might have, but since we’ve received the notice that we have only 4 weeks to go, I’m starting to feel the pressure and want to give him a call. Please pray for God’s timing to be perfect, and for me to feel his direction as to when to act. Please also pray that this Gentleman(Dwaine) will have some reason to run back across my e-mail this week and take an action. For all I know he may love the idea and have passed it along to another area of the corporate office, but I just don’t know anything at this point. I’ve never been good with the “be still and know” part of God’s plan, so I am asking for your help in the area of prayer. Also, If I get a big fat no, I’ll need to be lining up things for plan B, which I don’t want to begin if I will get a big fat yes and some additional funds to make my original assignment take flight. Your prayers are appreciated and I’ll let you know where I end up by the end of this week.



With Faith and High Expectations to see God’s Mighty hand at work,
