Casting Crowns - Prayer For A Friend

I listened to this and it brings to mind 2 pages of people's names in my Bible..... SOME Family Church Family Friends MSN Friends....may you find no rest and no peace till you hear Jesus speaking to your heart ...

Pete Maravich Testimony 1987 (Billy Graham Crusade)

Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ

~ Philippians 3:8, NLT

here I am....

http://www.ccftucson.org/ccftweekly2010.htm Scott Richards do as the world= when trouble comes, run in circles scream and shout ….or.. I love how Pastor Scott Richards encourages and turns his sheep back to God, back to the Bible, back to prayer back to listening to God….a teaching that uplifts and points the way! Jaylee leaving for school this morning surprised me with her prayers. Getting her ready for school on time and cooperation can be difficult as the past few days have been, but before she left I ask her if she wants to pray and try to focus on her….. how God blesses her day and how she can shine God’s light by being kind and helpful and sharing…and she asks God to make me feel better, she cups my face and says may God heal you and help you =]. Sweet moments but after she goes reality hits and I cough and ache my way thru the day………………………I wrote this back in September and much has transpired. I appreciate that you have kept me on your radar Joe, Nita Gerry…..just getting thru refinancing, school issues and health problems with husband Eddie. My church family are also keeping me on radar…my Mom and Dad and Kim his wife and old friends…..it is amazing how God works! We are moving right along one foot in front the other. I tend to have limited time now so I read friend’s blogs and move on =]. Thank you my MSN friends for being so vigilant and encouraging*************************** No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expression in us.
--1 John 4:12, NLT

Brandon Heath - Give Me Your Eyes

Paradigm Shift

We wear the world's eyes, reminds me of Brandon Heath's song " give me Your eyes".....

You Never Let Go by Matt Redman

I woke up this morning with this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y83-vMeWc9E loudly in my head….Cousin Frank was placed on a waiting list for a liver….it is him I prayed for this Saturday morning to Father God. He is a child of God, chosen by Him! Whatever the will of God I am reminded by Paul “to die is gain, but I press on towards the goal” in Philippians 1 I am understanding what Paul is saying about the who and why of tribulations and not being apart of the swirls going on around him good or bad but the teaching’s of Jesus to a lost and dying world that is the goal. Speaking to Jaylee this morning I feel as if the things of the world are calling for her attention. I have been talking to her about a relationship and talking to God….she does not understand “relationship” so telling her I had to make her understand every second of every day we carry God in out heart who sees everything we say and do and from our heart knows why we are doing it…closer even than mom to her….it is my intention to give her God, a true picture from the Bible. “Just think if President Obama called you and said I want to be your friend and called you 2-3 times a day and listened to you and talked to you would that not be amazing”…like a child I did not understand how God wanted to know me….me…little insignificant wheelchair wife mom…angry, selfish, liar, thief, murderer….I have broken His laws sometimes 100 or more times in a week…..but still He wants to know me…..and help me…and show me…………..God’s Love so perfect and true. I listened to a teaching bringing to mind Joe his wife Lovely, his 3 children and mother going to Africa on a missionary trip….”Blessed are the peace makers” “ beautiful are the feet who bring the good news” Romans 10: 13-15 When I first met Jesus I expected Him to take me over my troubles, I had my heart set on a human Jesus, He has shown me by taking me thru my life and circumstances that he IS love and love does not keep me from going thru the turmoil but teaches me to stand and face it….I have real problems Praising God in the midst of devastation but He has taught me the winds may blow but my prize is Him!….a family member is going back to church…so so great and absolutely a terrific choice!….but I have found reading my Bible puts me face to face with God, it is a mirror holding my life up to what God wants from me. A Pastor said on radio you can’t be saved and not believe the Bible…. When I say God’s words I cannot hide. Church is a beautiful way to be apart of serving God, but reading the Bible brings you into direct contact with God and a relationship. It also helps you to discern what is or who is of God. The many questions about God are answered in the Bible and the ones not answered……become less important and irrelevant. It is so good to be on solid ground, especially when the winds are gale force.

JJ Heller - What Love Really Means (Official Music Video)

Lead me to the Cross - Hillsongs

On Dr J Vernon McGee yesterday a listener wrote in that he was serenaded in a jail cell by Dr McGee……..that speaks volumes about God’s words and his servants he shines thru! He serenaded me with his words, and he made a way for me to come back home…who is He…..He is Jesus who died on the cross for me, God with a face, the Jesus of the Bible [ the word]…..we so much want to put a face on God…black white Asian female….who is Jesus….His character is exactly God …..all who have eyes to see and hearts to understand are serenaded by Him with his words. Truth leads to love forever … You thrill me, Lord, with all you have done for me! I sing for joy because of what you have done.
~ Psalm 92:4, NLT
Jaylee and Jaron go back to school Monday I am so ready but not ready for the changes that occur in scheduling and amount of work. I find I am getting more tired just doing mundane things like talking. It is such an effort to maintain word sounds and have caught my kids making me repeat what I say 2-3 times…progression of slurred speech apparently. Being on a phone requires too much energy so I choose who I talk too. I am trying to get Jaylee up to 2nd grade requirements and that is difficult to maintain a level I want, reading out loud is like walking. I went to a function for family at a different church. It was something I thought would last 1 hour if that, 3 hours later Eddie and Jaylee got out as fast as they could. I was dressed in t-shirt jeans and hubby too, they were starving! And I was very impressed with jelly….she with-
stood 2 ½ hours before she started squirming! …all in church were dressed in suit and ties and women in skirts and jackets and high heels. I felt out of place carrying a ball and gift bag. The preaching was 3 hours and included a preaching about going to the right church walking in a fathers footsteps and also prayers for healing. I didn’t put my hand up because I did not want to be forced to walk. I do believe in miracles… Ramona [ church family] who has Parkinson’s at our church uses a walker and she would shake a lot. The new meds she is on has reversed her condition. She was walking into church on her own and I was shocked…..but oh so happy that she has had a miracle….in the US Drs, hospitals, medications those are miracles that God has put in place to heal people today. Anyways I was surrounded by this church and prayed for, how wonderful and grateful I am that they would ask God to heal me. Nick Vujicic Joni Eareckson Tada so many who either have diseases or suffered mishaps in life are shinning examples of godly men and women who continue with “a thorn in their side” and God has yet to heal them. The preaching was done by 3 different preachers who were very skilled orators, but I had a very hard time listening or staying with them…..all preaching was out of the Bible. I did not realize how different worship in church’s are. Our Pastor talks in parables using pictures or teaching shorts teaching shorts " emphasizing the lesson from the Bible and how to live our daily lives that worship God. I also really like our band, when they sing it is the Pastor’s song written by them and is a teaching in it self. The words flash on the screen and give me time to think and understand and how it applies to me and loved ones friends and strangers, there is indeed many ways of worship at Church‘s. All my blogging is for my kids should they be reading….Jaylee, when she gets old enough to understand Jaron and Jason, I pray follow Jesus….“do you know sweetie, do you know Jesus. Have you been serenaded by His words, his truth, His love, His righteousness……..is he the love of your life….open the Bible and be prepared to fall in love“!

Today at http://www.thecoolchurch.com/ church, Terry R. filled in for Pastor David and did an excellent job……… Terry‘s occupation a police man and Pastor….. how cool is that! did a public service announcement “wear your seat belt’!! He showed a picture of his wife and said” I love my bride, she is perfect in my eyes [maybe not yours] and gets the job done… and if you have a problem with her you have a problem with me”! Jesus has a bride TOO “the church” and says if you have a problem with her, you have a problem with me!…..Terry spoke of David and how king Saul tried to kill him in http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20samuel%2019&version=NIV 1 Samuel 19...most people would have run as far as possible to remove them selves from that situation, but David obeyed God and stayed close to the prophet Samuel….Jesus has given us “seatbelts” 1. prayer, we also have the prophets …Samuel Isaiah Jeremiah Micah….2. ”the Bible” and 3. “the church” our brothers and sisters mothers and fathers grandmothers grandfathers sons and daughters in Christ… “our church family” on this journey together in Christ to encourage, uplift, cry, joyful thru all the seasons of our life of joy trials and tribulations births deaths marriages divorces addictions diseases poverty…….… I AM FONDLY RECALLING THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE UP MY CHURCH FAMILY And they may not be perfect…..to me they are! …. GOOD AND BAD BUT YOU STILL LOVE THEM like family AND CHOOSE TO ENCOURAGE THEIR GOOD AND PRAY FOR THEIR BAD…..I wear my seatbelt in the car every where I go so much so in fact I feel naked and an impending disaster is at hand!….Thank you Terry, the reason why I love to go to church are certainly my church family and to hear the word of God plainly spoken! God’s seat belts for me!

Micah

Micah 1:7-13 Dr J Vernon McGee said Any government WILL work if it has godly men and women at the helm...even dictatorships. When godless men are in charge it assure its {governments] downfall. The character of men and women who are in government ARE IMPORTANT. The Bible bus is currently in Micah and reading chapters 1-4 is the judgement that is on Israel for sins that everybody including leaders who walked away from God's laws.....2-3 are a mirror image of our leadership YIKES! looking at this new information coming out about education how its applied and we {parents] will not know until its applied [our kids will know it first] has me on my guard. I now understand...... " you will know them by their fruits" Administration Pushes Adoption of National School Standards;

And set my feet upon a rock,
And established my steps.

Mercy Me - Homesick (Live)

journey in the am

June 18
journey in the am
Getting up in the morning is made so much easier when I listen to Dr J Vernon McGee. It gets me out of bed in the shower and ready to get Jaylee started on her day. Even on the weekends he has Q&A series … I find I am eager to hear what he has to say about God. 7a.m on weekdays and 8 a.m. on Saturdays….I find his voice like a Grandfather or an old friend. I have found his teachings to be in-line with the Bible, and reading Vernon McGee story reminds me how God Glorifies Him self thru His vessels that are not even alive! I prayed for help in knowing God better and He has sent my church, Vernon McGee on Christian Radio and Greg Laurie, Charles Stanley, Alistair Begg, Scott Richards, John McArthur, Mark Martin……..on MSN spaces Greg who does Bible Study….golly so many men preaching teaching God’s word…..it is so good to know the truth!…..Dr J. Vernon McGee made me thirsty for the word of God and God has filled that need ……1 John 2 http://www.oneplace.com/player/thru-the-bible-with-j-vernon-mcgee/ I don’t think its enough to say we are Christian if we are not interested in knowing who God is and what He wants from us. “Learning“, I was never interested in learning but its different now because when I get to Heaven I want to be involved….. know a little at least…if I am in a home and do not speak the language I will not be comfortable, I will be sad because all I have missed… So I am ready to know God’s language with Joy and gladness! join me in this journey of joy and gladness to know him........ .........
