wondering

You know  this past week we had company and i didn't want to ditch them in the morning times to sit at my computer and type out my entire devotion.  Is that bad?  In a way i think that it is because I didn't express my thoughts on paper as I do love to do.  In another way, it was amazing because the friends that I had staying here have an incredible heart for the Lord and I was encouraged through everything that we did together.  They live in a different world, well really just a different country, but in their world, the Muslims are the dominating force.  They have very few Christian friends that surround them and people persecute the Christians that are there. 
They were explaining to me that so much of the population in Asia doesn't even know who Jesus is.  Could that be?  Is that possible, people today still don't know who Jesus is?  A story that they told at our open house really struck me.  There was this intelligent young women who went off to university and was in an art class.  They were flipping through their books and she saw a beautiful picture of a man hanging on a cross.  She asked who it was.  SHE DIDN'T KNOW!  This was a very intelligent woman.  Someone explained to her that it was Jesus, Christians believe that he is the son of God.  Later, while sleeping, she had a dream about God and so on one side there was God, then on the other side there was the picture of Jesus and it had a bright light behind it.  The two came together and from that moment on she knew that there was something about Jesus.  Now I WAS chasing 4 kids around the room while trying to listen, so I just got the gist of the story and not all the details, but what a story!
God is revealing himself to the Muslim population, to people that don't know him all over the world.  We need to be ready to support that.  Weather it is going, praying, financially backing someone that IS able, willing and called to go.  We need to be supporting ministries all over the world.  If you ARE interested in committing to support someone, I would love it if you would support my friends whether in prayer or financially.  I can give you the information.  The power of prayer is amazing and mighty!

Center of God's Will

I was very blessed to go over to some new friend’s home last night and talk with them and others about life in general.   As the topic turned solely to missions late in the evening (as this couple used to travel around bringing the good news to kids around the world, and then lived in a different country for 3 years sharing the gospel) I said something like, it must feel amazing to be right in the center of God’s Will.   To have to rely on Him for protection from the most random events; to have to rely on God to take you out of situations that are dangerous; to rely on Him for every provision that you are given; and most importantly, to be brining the message of Christ to all nations under heaven.   Can you imagine?   Knowing that you are supposed to be right where you are, doing what you are doing, right when you are doing it because you have to, and have chosen to, rely on God for every little aspect of your life.   Well friends, I am not out spreading the me...

Daily Bread

I have a dog.  He is cute , but he is still a dog.  That means that he is reliant on me.  He likes me no matter what, If I am not around him, he flips out a little and has anxiety.  If others try to claim him or take care of him when I'm not around, he growls and barks at them.  My dog's name is Spike .  He is a Yorkie.  I promised my husband if he got me a girlie dog, I would name it something masculine so he wouldn't have to go outside and yell fru fru when calling our dog.  Spike knows that I take care of him.  He knows that my husband and I are the two that take care of him the most.  The kids try to play with him and he runs to us with the toys.  The kids try to take him out and he only comes back when one of us calls him.  He knows our voice and respects our voice.  He also is needy.  Like he relies on us to take him outside to do his business and to feed him and give him water.  Spike will let us know ...

The longest route...

There is no easy way around it, sometimes I take the hardest possible route to get anywhere.   During our re-make of our house, I purchase bar stools.   Our counter island is tall and so I measured t – it was 36 inches from the ground.   Therefore I purchased 29 inch bar stools thinking they would be perfect…   And they would have been had I measured from the ground to the trim that lines the bottom of the 36”.   In reality, I had 29” to play with and the stools that I purchased were tight against the lip under the island.   I put one together and realized my folly.   Looking on-line, I didn’t find any more that were comparable to the price I had paid and the style that I wanted but were only 24” tall.   When my husband came home, we decided to put the other three stools together and just deal with them.   On Sunday morning, before church, my husband took the bar stools outside and proceeded to cut 5” off each leg to make us 24” bar stool...
