Praise You In The Storms

Your Best Friend

I have not posted in quiet awhile now.... During tax season I work for a well known tax company.. I have now for the past five years... The stories are so sad this year... Everyone needs their refund yesterday..

I know it is easy to get all discourage and fear the unknown of your job or your spouses job.... I myself have wanted to get a full-time job have even mailed out my resume to several job ads.. That is just in case it does get worst before it all gets better.. But we all know who is really in control and He does know the outcome...

I wish it was possible to talk to all these clients we have coming in personally what an opportunity to talk to them about the Lord Jesus Christ.... I would tell them who they could depend on "The True One" of whom would never forsake them... When your employer fails you the Lord will not..

I Peter 5:7

Casting all your cares on him; for he careth for you.

Maybe you all have not realize it, but what an opportunity with the economy to talk to people about the Lord....If given an opportunity please take the time to tell them about your best friend.....

Deuteronomy 31:8

And the Lord, he it is that doth go before thee;

he will be with thee, he will not fail thee,

neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.

Your Grace Still Amazes Me

Thank you again for all the prayers...

Pray for my mother's brother Lloyd he had a heart attack today.. He has a 75% blockage right now... He is stable at this point with medication.

Amazing Grace ( My Chains are Gone)

John 3:16

For God so loved the world, that he gave His only begotten Son, that whosever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Does God Need Help?

I was thinking about something for a few days now...

Does God Need Help?

Mark 16:15

And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach

the gospel to every creature.

Did not Jesus use the discipline to help him?

We as Christians are to go out into all the world sharing the gospel

to each and everyone.

In Noah's time: God use a dove to let Noah and his family

know there was dry land for them.

Where am I going with this you may say....

We all know God is merciful and gracious and he is almighty.

We ask God for help in many situations every day...

We ask him to heal sick----

God can heal himself, but sometimes he decide to use some help

like with doctors and surgeons....

I need to keep the faith in the almighty healer...

Lord Jesus help me to keep the faith..

Luke 9:11

And the people, when they knew it, followed him:

and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God,

and healed them that had need of healing.

Trusting God

When you do not know whom, how, or what to trust??? We all know we can trust God. You know we get one report from a doctor and we all want to run and get another opinion from another doctor. But God is standing here and he is in control.

When it comes to your children it is really hard to know what to do.. Our little man Kenny is in need a valve replacement or possible reconstruct. Now, we are taking him to Children's Hospital and he has been going to this same doctor since 2003. He seems to be really knowledgeable and I trust the doctor. I am comfortable with this doctor. He has been truthful with us from the beginning with Kenny condition. He told us yesterday he did not know any surgeon in our area whom he would send our little man. In fact, he told us either Mayo Clinic or Vanderbilt Hospital and he knew which doctor from either hospital. I am just asking each of you to help us pray about this and leave the healer of all in charge and that is GOD. The next step for him is a heart cath to determine if he needs replacement or if it can be reconstruct.
The man Job in the Bible his story has always amazed me.

How could one go through so much, but still trust God?

Job 39:11

Wilt thou believe him, because his strength his great?

or wilt thou leave thy labour to him?

Psalm 118:8

It is better to put trust in Lord than to put confidence in man.

Prayer Request

Our little man Kenny goes for his stress test today... So just pray for him....

Wall of Prayer

It seems a lot of us have concerns right now... Every thing I read lately talks about prayer... I thought that was the perfect song to post for this Sunday this week.

Prayer Request

...My mother's half brother Versel is a very sick man.. He has cancer and he now has been told he has blood clot in his heart ready to burst... Just be in prayer for him that God would give him peace and comfort during this time... Surgery is not possible he has been told because of his cancer it would just spread rapidly if he was to have surgery now... He called the family members last night and said he just needed to talk to them since it may be the last time...

Humble

This has been a strange week for me...

I have just been waiting and waiting on God to talk to me

communicate to me..

I Peter 5:6-7

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God,

that he may exalt you in due time.

Casting all your cares upon him; for he careth for you.

There are a lot of changes in our life's this year

I guess we all are experiencing changes

that we are not comfortable with.

The fear of the unknown is scary....

I know God is there and He is in control, but

that does not mean we will not weary or

try to control things we have no control over...

Help me Lord this day to humble myself before

you and wait on you patiently..

Thank you for your prayers

My uncle came through his surgery wonderfully... We all really appreciate your prayers.

New Friends in 2008

I am thinking about it please let me continue to think....

Yesterday, I got to thinking about all the new friends I made in 2008.

God gave me lots of new friends in 2008.

Some I meant right here in my little county....

Then a few in the next county over and few in this county near by...

I am telling you I just have been bless with new people

to share my thoughts with to even share my burdens with...

I am thankful for the new people God allow to be in my life in 2008.

I really did not realize how many new people I had meant

until I set down and thought about it....

Some I even meant by blogging..

I have really meant some great women on the Christian Women blog roll..

I am very thankful for the Christian women God allow to be in my life in 2008..

Some I just needed for them to restate what I already knew....

God thank you for all you do for me and all you have done for me...

Proverbs 18:24

A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly:

and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
