I was sitting at kitchen table this morning (3:30pm). The sun was shining through double doors, I was still waking up and completely enjoying the warmth of the sun. I breathed a prayer to Jesus, thanking him for the sun. I looked at the sun through crusted morning eyes (nice huh!:), and decided to go out doors and sit on back porch and enjoy a moment with God as I soaked up some winter sunlight. Well, I opened the door and Samson, the cat, shot out of the door like a bullet. I leaped to catch him as he paused on the back porch ledge. ... Well, I missed and lost my balance, fell forward off the side of the porch. I landed on the ground, partially on a rock with a thud and a loud AHHHRghhhh!! The cat screeched and ran off, the dog started wildly barking and I was left to pull myself up to my feet. Scraped hands, arm and sore ankle... I gruffly went off in search of cat.. no where to be found. Geesh, what happened to my sunlit, God moment??!! :) On my way out the door, Samson nochalantly hopped up onto front porch and sauntered in front door... Hmmmmm... Here kitty kitty kitty!!!#@&%$*! :) I really wanted to throttle the little gray cat.. Bless the Lord, I didn't :) All is well..

Still getting over the remainders of pneumonia. It's going, slowly but surely! Looking ahead to Thanksgiving, Christmas... ONEthing conference :) Nov 29th is a significant day for me. If you wanna know, ask me personally. It is a 7yr mark of a work of God in my heart. It feels good :) So so thankful to God for the process that He works in my life. Such a treasure and gift is the TIME and the struggles. Things that could not be established in me overnight. I wouldn't value so many things if it weren't for a wise, all-knowing God who is perfect in His leadership. Thank you Holy Spirit for the way you lead me in God's ways. Teach me your ways, that I would walk in your truth all of my days. ... God is good! Trust Him all you people ~ Psalm 62

Surely His goodness and Mercy will follow me all the days of my life... I love the Lord. God is my Rock,

Pneumonia..

Well, it has been a long several weeks of being sick. With Pneumonia!?#%& Yeah, so I went to er yesterday for the second time, to get looked at. I had been in the er on the 29th of Sept, and finished the antibiotics a couple days ago that they gave me. So now, I am dosed up on 2 antibiotics, 2 inhalers and a couple other cough meds!! WOW. I must say though it feels good to have a productive cough as opposed to the really tight & severe coughing fits I was having yesterday :) So God thank you for Doctors and meds, but would you heal me :) I love the Lord. He is so kind and I have felt His nearness in these weeks of weakness and sickness. He is a good good Father. I love you God!

Amen

I made it in today. So tired but not enough to sleep. My body is used to being up till 6 or 7am! Anyway, excited to see A New Song at Circleville First Church tomorrow! I helped them at Friendship Camp for orphans twice in Romania. I love them! God please help me sleep and also, God please direct my steps and direct my heart into your love and your will.
Yeah, I am eager to find out what God has been planning and pondering for my life. I know it's good, I know He has a godly, kind man for me to marry. I know that it involves THE NATIONS, wherever in the world that is?? :) And coffee, the ending of human trafficking, restoration of women that have been sex slaves, ... ITALY maybe??? It keeps coming up. The very end of Hebrews, the writer talks about ITALY. I wasn't expecting that as I finished reading the book the other day. Paulo from Italy, people all wearing Italy shirts out of noWHERE it seems! Billboards, liscense plates...etc. A guy on my last flight was just coming back from ROME. What is going on God?? What is it about Italy? Any whoo. I should be trying to sleep. We'll see if it works. It would be like someone trying to go to bed at 5pm who normally goes to bed at 11pm! Blessings,

How Deep the Father's Love for us...

Howdy, I am up way too late!! It is light outside, 7:30am and I still haven't brushed my teeth or washed my face! This is gonna be short. I have had funky dreams the past couple nights. Claiming the blood of Jesus over myself, fighting the evil one in various forms... a Big pig buried, swords and ENUF said already! So yesterday with the school bus full of good people and evil look alike humans dream, I woke up with the chorus " ..my head shall be lifted up, above my enemies and I will sing, I will sing to you... praise the Lord, my heart will sing praise..." hmmmmm. & then in the prayer room Sada starts singing that very chorus!! Ok God what are you saying?? Again I ponder and wonder.... hmmmm. Anyway, more on that when I receive some revelation... I am flying down to Ohio, or is it up?? Not sure, either way I am boarding a plane and zooming over the countryside to Columbus, Ohio to visit some family. Also!! Some great friends I have partnered with in the past from Romania, will be @ my church in Circleville the 19th! Sweet! Final word... Justice and Righteousness are the foundation of God's throne. "Your throne oh God.. will last forever" ... wow. God is good @ ALL times. If you question whether God is good when little girls in Manila are being taught how to pole dance from watching porn videos infancy on up... HE IS. In pursuing Justice, WE HAVE TO KNOW "THE JUST ONE". His character, who HE is NEVER NEVER CHANGES. Get the offense out now, because He's coming. God have mercy on us all as we wrestle and work out our salvation with fear and trembling. Isaiah 42, Isaiah 58. Without Jesus there is NO JUSTICE..
