When I first heard the term “spiritual discipline,” I bristled at the thought of spiritual growth requiring discipline: self-discipline and, of course, God-directed discipline.
So why is it called discipline?
· It is requires commitment, time, and lots of practice.
· Planning and dedication are key.
· You have to be intentional.
· It sometimes comes with pain.
An athlete understands these dynamics and what it takes to discipline our bodies. She exercises and eats right in order to have optimal performance.
I am no star athlete, but I do long to grow in spiritual discipline so that I might
· Draw closer to God.
· Follow Jesus’ example.
· Live by the Spirit.

Later today, I will leave for a ten-day trip to Nicaragua. Five congregations in three cities will host events for the women in their area. Next Saturday's event will have women from seven congregations in attendance!
We will be discussing the ways in which we can be Victorious and Joyful in Battle through Psalm 20, and in other places, practical steps toward Women’s Spiritual Health.
Please keep this trip in your prayers. Here are a few things you can pray for specifically:
- Safety and health in travel to and within the country
- The women who travel to attend the seminars
- The non-Christian women who will be in attendance
- The leaders in women’s ministries who will receive additional classes
- That God will speak through me in all of the sessions
- That women will be equipped to connect to God and one another more deeply
