In Travel Mode

Greetings dear and precious sisters-in-Christ,

I'm in travel mode for the next three weeks and at times I will be in places where they still use dial-up so this will be my last post until the end of August. We are traveling to the mainland for medical reasons. My husband has been suffering with severe pain and other issues since his open heart surgery last March. With the help of family and friends and even total strangers we are able to make the trip to Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota. We are hopeful!! Since we are on the mainland we both have parents who are in their 80's and we need to spend some quality time with them and some time with our daughter and our grandchildren.

I would ask that you pray for us while we are traveling.

For my husband, if he sits for any length of time and in a cramped position his whole body seizes up in pain.
For me, the plane and car trips are stressful because my mind goes into panic mode when it thinks there will not be a bathroom within walking distance. Crazy but true!

I would ask that you pray for us when we arrive.

Our visit to Mayo Clinic and our precious time with family and friends while on the mainland would be blessed with His Presence, His Peace, His Provision, His Purpose, and His Power.

Precious sisters-in-Christ I will miss our Wednesday mornings while I am gone.

Abba Father, Praise You Lord! Thank you Lord for Your Gentleness and Your Goodness. Lord I pray for each dear and precious sister-in-Chirst. Lord even though I will not be posting for the next three weeks You are ever Present. I pray that the Holy Spirit would come and in the coming equip You to speak the Gospel and counsel You and guide You into all the Truth. Oh precious sisters-in-Christ in Him alone! May your days be filled with His Abundance, His Grace, His Gentleness and most of all His Presence. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Psalm 85

Greetings dear and precious sisters-in-Christ,

I awoke to the sound of rain this morning. The kind of sound which causes the senses to smile because in hearing it you know that it is good. It is the gentle patter of refreshment because as it falls on the blades of grass and the leaves of the trees they welcome the nourishment.

Oh, dear and precious sisters-in-Christ, if only we would welcome the refreshing of the Lord. He comes so gently. His sweet Whispers, His Healing Touch, His beautiful Fragrance so overwhelm our senses if we would only open our ears and our hearts and our lives to Him.

This is my prayer: Abba Father, Praise and Glory and Honor to thee alone. Oh Most Sovereign Lord I come before Your Throne of Grace into Your Presence and desire nothing more than to be watered by thee. Lord I pray for each dear and precious sister-in-Christ this morning that she would allow Your Gentleness to anoint her mind and body and soul. Come Holy Spirit and gently rain upon each of us bringing Your refreshing Counsel that soaks into our hearts and minds and bodies and gives us the passion to run the race which has been set before us. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Psalm 32:8 - Instruct, Teach, and Guide

Greetings dear and precious sisters-in-Christ,

I opened my bible, the King James version, the one that I have had for a very long time, it has the births and deaths dates written in the front, it has the underlined scriptures and the special bookmarks received marking the special verses the Lord has placed on my heart over the years. It is the one I go to when I am searching for a special scripture - my mind seems to know right where to go. This morning I found a page from a calendar (Thomas Kinkade) with the date Tuesday, June 23, 1998. It has a beautiful picture of a stream with flowers and trees on either side of the banks. I remember the person that gave it to me and when she gave it to me and what she said when she gave it to me. She is a dear and precious sister-in-Christ who lives on the mainland.

I wrote on the empty space beside the painting - May I rest by the quiet stream. May I take nourishment in the subtle beauty, purity and cleansing power. On the back my prayer: Lord, This day may I realize that You are working it out. Your are instructing me and teaching me in the way that I shall go, You are guiding me with Your eye. (Psalm 32:8)

And then I wrote this: A change, a subtle change. The colors become more brilliant, the sweetness of Your Spirit becomes a surrounding fragrance. The quietness of itself is knowing You and listening to You alone.

My dear and precious sisters-in-Christ that is my prayer for you today. That You may wait upon the Lord and that for you there will be a change ever so subtle that the colors in your life would become more brilliant and You would be surrounded by the sweet fragrance of Jesus and in the quietness of it the Lord's Love and Peace would permeate your whole being. In Jesus Name, Amen.

1 Corinthians 2:16 - Little Inconveniences in Life

Greetings dear and precious sisters-in-Christ,

Two days ago while preparing our dinner salad I cut into my left pinkie finger. My husband being the doctor in the house attended to it right away and it is looking pretty good today. May be able to save the tip of the finger. I have a big piece of cushioned tape on it to make sure that I do not bang it and cause further damage. Needless to say it makes it quite difficult to type without the use or should I say very limited use of the finger itself. The instant it happened my first thought was, "dang we just had these sharpened and I was going to be so careful not to cut myself." I told my husband that I would be very careful. The next thought was, "oh Lord heal this finger quickly." I knew it was going to be an inconvenience in my life. And yes it has, but yesterday morning, on my morning walk when the Lord and I talk, it started out with dark ominous clouds on the horizon - should I walk or not. I chose too - it started to rain - I kept going, protecting my bandaged finger from getting wet. When I rounded the seconded cul-de-sac, which is a hill, I turned and where the dark ominous clouds had been there was an awesome rainbow and the shadow of a second. I was still getting rained on but I was so undone by the Presence of the Lord...

For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. 1 Cor. 2:16,

Abba Father, Praise thee for the inconveniences in my life, for the rain and for the rainbow. Thank you for the Promises that You have Proclaimed in the lives of these dear and precious sisters-in-Christ. I pray that each one would be so undone by Your Presence in their lives and Trust that You are Sovereign. May she not limit You God. May she have the mind of Christ. In Jesus Name. Amen

John 1:41

Greetings dear and precious sisters-in-Christ,

Have you ever realized that you have lost something? You go to look for it and wonder just when it became lost and in retracing your multiple steps during the day it seemed like it would never be found!

The Scripture that I have as the title reads, "He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ." (KJV)

Now that is something worth finding!! Oh precious sisters-in-Christ you have found the Christ, He drew you unto Himself and hopefully you realized that you were the one who was lost all the time and He revealed Himself to you.

For myself I realize that there are many days were I feel lost but He is Faithful and draws me unto Him and when I look upon Jesus, He opens my eyes and my heart to know that to be FOUND by the Alpha and Omega, the Word is so utterly amazing that I am left speechless.

Abba Father, Praise and Glory to thee our Most Righteous and Holy LORD, I come before Your Throne of Grace today offering my Praise and my supplications unto thee. LORD, I pray for each sister-in-Christ today that in her seeking of Your Mercy and Grace that she would be so fully embraced by the Holy Spirit that she would desire nothing else than to sit at the feet of Jesus and allow herself to be totally, unconditionally, and fully LOVED by You oh Most Sovereign LORD. In Jesus Name, Amen.
