My name is Catherine. I live in the Pittsburgh area. I belong to the United Church of Christ denomination. I'm on my second career, the first being retail business and presently I am a full time teacher at a middle school. Our denomination offers a license ministry program with the process of moving in the ordination direction. My husband and I have been blessed with a small church.
I love studying God's Word and I delve into it with scripture reading, research, commentaries, prayer and generally discussion with my husband/friends or during bible studies. I love to take notes and post in my bibles over the years and also in journals, which I have many. The journals include my prayers to understand what I just read and petitions for clarity, when things are cloudy to my limited mind.
I love the Lord Jesus. When I say it at the end of prayers, I get overwhelmed, my heart swells and generally I cry. He's amazing. And it's amazing what God has done in my wretched life because I was once very worldly, secular person. I find this also amazing because God has blessed me to use what I learned from past mistakes to lead children and guide others, when I consider God opening a door for me in these situations.

Jesus pray to His Father in the morning, like we should do because for me the '"manna" is in the morning alone with our Precious Lord. In the morning, I need to have this solitary place ( ground ) where i can be with Him Alone (CONNECTION WITH MY PRECIOUS JESUS IN THE MORNING). Jesus here is teaching us ... do the things that MY Father is saying... by going out somewhere else with His disciples... In fact, , I think HE IS OBEYING TO GOD THE FATHER and HE IS FOLLOWING WHAT HIS FATHER IS SAYING TO HIM... Here, Our Precious Lord is not focusing on his needs, but where the Father wants him to go ... HIS FATHER DIRECTION. HE is TRUE SERVANT of His FATHER. Jesus do not let the WORLD stopping Him from listening to His Father direction.
I should do the same thing as Jesus ignoring people that want to take me out my way and obedience and prayer time. AMEN.
