Megan Daub- Southern Region


 Megan Daub- 
Havelock, North Carolina

I recently was able to visit with
 Megan at the Southern Gathering
 of Professional Church Workers.
Megan came for the day 
with her husband- Jim.

Catching up a bit in all that happened
 since we were last together.
Jim and Megan were recently married-
May 2015
Job changes for Megan-
with more responsibility and 
challenges.
The death of Jim's mother in Wisconsin.
A call to Wisconsin for Pastor Jim.

That is a lot to wade through
 at any time of marriage-
 but especially as newlyweds.

Megan shared that this first call 
from another congregation other
than where they currently serve 
was difficult to figure out.
Lots of praying and some stress there too.
Just how to deal with such a BIG decision?
Husband's decision-
that affects Megan too.

One day while Jim was taking 
a nap following a hectic day,
Megan went and sat under a tree
 with this printed sheet for visual prayer.
I had sent her this print out in a packet
 of Prayer and Bible Journaling starters.
Coloring and praying. 
Focused prayer. 
Resting in Him prayer.
Megan said she sat under 
that tree for quite a bit.
Then her
 husband, Jim, 
came to the door and said,
"We're staying."
That is a quick answer to prayer time.


Megan is also participating in an 
online Bible Study of Philippians 4.

She had with her the 
prayer sheet for the word True.
I had drawn this prayer sheet
 for the Bible Study.
Mine is still waiting to be colored in.

Whatever is True.
Whatever in Noble.
Whatever is Right.
Whatever is Pure.
Whatever is Admirable.
Staying focused.
Dealing with distractions.
Megan also using visual prayer
 to pray for members of her congregation.
Visual Prayer Tools-
in the prayer tool box.
For everyday life.


Megan and her husband, Jim, serve at
 St. Paul Lutheran Church,
Havelock, North Carolina.
Megan works as a 
911 Dispatch Supervisor
 for the City of Havelock.
