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...

Duct Tape

Starting tomorrow I am offering duct tape classes at church for our day camp type program called xplore 2011.   Now… for those of you that don’t know this – I am a little duct tape fanatic.   I love that there are different colors, I love that you can cut it and mold it and shape it and make just about anything with it.   My biggest projects have been purses and wallets, but I also have made tiaras, necklaces, earrings, hair bows, jackets.   I was commissioned by Duck Brand Duct Tape to do the jackets as well as make a lot of flowers.   I think it is a lot of fun! In these camps – we want to have some type of children’s message and I have been struggling to figure out what exactly I was going to talk about until a lady from our church yesterday informed me that we were going to be having a lot of kids from the lower income section of our town coming to this camp.   For my – my response was FANTASTIC!!!   She then reminded me that I needed to make sure...

Wedding Bells

My little sister gets married on Saturday – I am really super excited for her.   This is a huge deal and she has found a great guy to get married to.   The wedding will be fun, but the marriage is what counts.   I really think that they are going to be so happy together and I am so excited.   Before the marriage starts though, we are having a big old hooplah- celebration this week – soooo…   since I don’t own a lap-top, I will be taking a break from posting for 1 week   - to resume again on Wed the 27 th . Back to today’s devotion though.   With all the wedding talk, it has really made me think about how we are to be the Bride of Christ.   The Bible talks about it all the time.   Song of Songs is kinda the “weird” book in the Bible.   The bride to be and bridegroom are talking about each other and how much they love each other.   It just this morning occurred to me that it is how God wants our relationship with Him to be.   Le...
