Well, another month has come and gone. What's the old saying, "time flies when your having fun"? I don't know about that, I just know the older I get the faster time flies.
We saw another wedding at Jordan Baptist. May 4th, Amanda exchanged vows with Craig Henry. Pastor Tims' nephew Caleb came home from the hospital, that's one blessed little boy! Prayers work wonders! Jon should be returning home at the end of this month. He is also doing very well according to Jessica.
Don't forget the Hinkles!!! They will be with us June 2nd through June 5. Please invite everyone you can to join us. As you know they were wonderful and quite the blessing last time they came.



Attitude of Trust
by Mrs. Charles E. Cowman

"And it came to pass, before he had done speaking...and he said, Blessed be Jehovah�who hath not forsaken his lovingkindness and his truth" (Gen. 24:15, 27).

Every right prayer is answered before the prayer itself is finished--before we have "done speaking." This is because God has pledged His Word to us that whatsoever we ask in Christ's name (that is, in oneness with Christ and His will) and in faith, shall be done.

As God's Word cannot fail, whenever we meet those simple conditions in prayer, the answer to our prayer has been granted and completed in Heaven as we pray, even though its showing forth on earth may not occur until long afterward.

So it is well to close every prayer with praise to God for the answer that He has already granted; He who never forsakes His loving-kindness and His truth. (See Daniel 9:20-27 and 10:12.) --Messages for the Morning Watch

When we believe for a blessing, we must take the attitude of faith, and begin to act and pray as if we had the blessing. We must treat God as if He had given us our request. We must lean our weight over upon Him for the thing that we have claimed, and just take it for granted that He gives it, and is going to continue to give it. This is the attitude of trust.

When the wife is married, she at once falls into a new attitude, and acts in accordance with the fact; and so when we take Christ as our Savior, as our Sanctifier, as our Healer, or as our Deliverer, He expects us to fall into the attitude of recognizing Him in the capacity that we have claimed, and expect Him to be to us all that we have trusted Him for.

"The thing I ask when God doth bid me pray,
Begins in that same act to come my way."
