Prayer with faith needed!

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 10:36:12 GMT

Hi Everyone!

I'm writing today to ask that Kelly be lifted up in prayer! Prayer is needed for her recovery so that she is able to walk in the victory that Jesus' has gotten for her. The Lord knows what is needed! But I have to tell you that praying people do make a difference. I have seen God's hand these past few days and am so grateful that his word is true. Jesus says I will never leave you nor forsake you. I have seen the reality of that in a way I never thought I would. I am grateful that our God is faithful in more ways than can be known by the human mind. Have a blessed day my friends.

Stop the ride! I need a break!

Did you ever feel like you were on a roller coaster, and just wanted it to slow down a bit so you could catch up! I think that is how my life has been for awhile now. I think I just need a break to catch up!

Have a great week everyone!

Praying & Thinking before.....

Thu, 22 May 2008 21:59:17 GMT

How I am determined to live in the today's of life

Will determine where I will will spend all my tomorrow's

Thinking before leaping!

No fast track! No easy fixes!

Sometimes it is just a matter of waiting patiently on the Lord for an answer or direction! That is something I'm learning to do today! I'd like to make things better, or change, or help, or fix it, but the thing to do is wait, and sometimes that is the hardest to do. The Lord always steers in the right direction, and I know I can count on him to direct the steps to take that will for the good of everyone involved.

Lord help me to first- pray, second-wait on your direction, third then act! No leaping!!!

Hope everyone has a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!

Just don't know about....rambling day!

Ever come to a place and you just don't know?

Ever wonder what it is you are suppose to be doing?

Are you doing it?

There are stages I never knew a person can go through until recently,

and

it has me wondering....

O'Lord where do we go from here...

I'm sure that he'll let me know the direction,

and

the journey along the way!

Whenever I say I just can't the Lord says oh yes you can!

So for today I take his hand and let him lead the way as only he can!

Look up!

Thu, 28 Feb 2008 22:04:32 GMT

Don't know what we will be, but know we will be like him.

We will be like him! From the heart to the heart

I've heard it said

So from my heart the prayer

is whispered

Let thy will be done oh Lord!

Then comes the hard stuff

but one is never alone

The Lord is right there alongside

lighting the way! Holding your hand

holding you up.

There are days when it seems another step can not

be taken

Just look up

know that were never alone

not for a second or nano second

God's got us covered!

I can't fix things, and I don't everything about anything! But this one thing I do know is Jesus Christ died for each and everyone of us. I trust God with my life, and that of my family. When someone is absent from the body they are in the presence of the Lord. No one can snatch us away from God! His love is bottomless and unconditional! While we still yet sinners Jesus Christ died for us. No matter what is going on look up! Because my friend He is looking at you!!

Not sure who I'm writing this for.... you ...or....me!

Because He is Lord!

Acts 17:24-25

God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples, made with hands;

Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;

Acts 17:27-28

That they should see the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us;

For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

I love that we live, and move, and have our being in Him! Praise the Lord!

Praying everyone has a blessed week!

Hey!

I'm reading some of George MacDonald' sermons and I like that they make you think! Really think! I have read Phantastes by him and it was a great read! Next read after this will be Lilith if we can find it.

Over the week I was able to read the Late Great Planet Earth by Hal Lindsey and C.C. Carlson. That was an exceptionally good read! I had been reading my Bible before that in the Old Testament, and then reading this made things line up which was surprisingly refreshing!

Clinicals are over, and now onto mock testing....then hopefully State Testing! School has been fun and I'm learning more about the world around me... It makes me want to stick closer to the Lord than ever....before...

Now I need to learn how to work well with others, and leave them be who they are in whatever state of mind they might be in. I find that is harder than I thought it would be...Years ago this would not of been a problem for me...

I'm not sure what I am missing, but on some things I just don't how to compromise. Walking with the Lord is the most important thing to me so I know that he will show me the way to go from here. I guess it is just getting there that I'm having the problem with. I know it lies in me and not in others!!!

Praying that everyone has a wonderful weekend, and that spring springs forward!

Today!

He is here today and everyday!

Helping each of us find our way!

Taking our hand and leading us on!

Thank you Lord for making the way!

I wouldn't have it any other way!

May your day be blessed and filled with God's goodness in all that he brings you to!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Everyone!

Praying that the New Year brings peace and joy to everyone in the upcoming months!

Still studying and now it is down to the wire with tests and presentations. Then it will be clinicals and state testing! I'll be glad when everything is finished with this part of schooling.

We went home for Christmas and it was wonderful seeing family and friends again! I came home with tapes from my pastor until we find a church here. I have visited quite a few but have not found anything as of yet!

I miss everyone! I'm not around to much lately! Pop in, pop out because of studying, etc. Hopefully I'll be able to soon! Love hearing how everyone is doing and the stories that are shared! Keep them coming! They are very encouraging!

Faith in motion!

I'm not sure why I need to share this, but I do! Maybe the Lord has it for someone else to. But it helped me and I think it might be important for someone else.

I have told you Kelly is in the hospital! Well she is still there and will be for a while. She likes rabbit from Winnie the Pooh, and she asked me to look for a stuffed animal of rabbit from Winnie the Pooh. So I'm looking everywhere for rabbit. No one sells rabbit in stuffed animal style. They have everyone else but rabbit!

Well anyway back on track! I'm looking and the Lord leads into a store I have no time to really be in mind you, and I'm walking around worrying and fretting about what is going on with Kelly. I came to this framed print and just stopped in my tracks. It said....

"Faith is not knowing God can,

It is knowing God will".

And that made such a difference to me. If that didn't Minister Marla comfirmed using the word of God that resting in the Lord, and trusting in him, as well as praising him in the midst of it will make a difference. It is making a difference, and the Lord is working in all of it one step at a time. God is so good to all of us! Love makes a difference! Know that you are loved and thought of and prayed for continually! Prayer makes such a difference. People are praying who would not normally pray in my family, and I know that God will work in them as well. Hope everyone has a blessed day!
