Jan 8 Thank you for the gracious prayers, they are appreciated. Today I am not feeling too much like I am in 'withdrawal' yet from not being in contact with the two people all today. Maybe because of the prayers - thank you for the prayers. But probably that feeling will get worse over the next day or so and I am dreading that. That's what happens. God please help me to not need that. That is when I give in. I'm not sure if I am supposed to replace that need for contact with them by going to God instead or whether I am supposed to not need that at all. The next day or so will make that clear I guess. It is a journey of trusting God either way. I had a dream last night that basically said that I wasnt dealing with some issues in a...

Today I am very aware of the last two years. I am still so amazed at what the Lord has done in me. April 2, 2011 I received a call from my son in New Orleans around 1:00 am, All I could hear was mom its not good, its not good mom I don't think dad is going to make it. I will never forget the desperation fear and sadness in his voice. A bit of history. My husband got transferred to New Orleans, he did not want the two younger kids and I down there. He said it was a horrible place for kids. He came home once a month to visit. He had been working there for a year when My second oldest son went to work for him. During that year I saw my husband changing. He wasn't as desperate to come home, he began going to bars with his friends...

When fear comes and grips your mind , speak out these verses continually . Fear will run away from you For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2Tim 1:7 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears Psalms 34:4 The LORD is my light and my salvation-- whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life-- of whom shall I be afraid? When evil men advance against me to devour my flesh, when my enemies and my foes attack me, they will stumble and fall. Psalms 27:1-2 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31 Do not fear the reproach of mere mortals or be terrified by their insults For the moth will eat...

This song is by Downunder called How Many Kings. Very powerful... Follow the star to a place unexpected Would you believe after all we've projected A child in a manger Lowly and small, the weakest of all Unlikeliest hero, wrapped in his mothers shawl Just a child Is this who we've waited for? Cause how many kings, stepped down from their thrones?How many lords have abandoned their homes? How many greats have become the least for me? How many Gods have poured out their hearts To romance a world that has torn all apart? How many fathers gave up their sons for me? Bringing our gifts for the newborn savior All that we have whether costly or meek Because we believe Gold for his honor and frankincense for his pleasure And myrrh for the cross...

I am fasting and praying for the salvation of two of my children, my husband, future daughter in law and complete healing spiritually physically and emotionally for them myself my daughter and another son. Last night my husband that has not been saved, and was very uncomfortable with church responded to an alter call. He received prayer from the entire church for a childhood trauma only I knew about. In obedience I am going to confess some things. I will not hide in darkness, I will shine light on all the deepest darkest places. I experienced anxiety today about my own mortality. Lord forgive me. Lord lead me in faith. You did not give the spirit of fear. I confess to pride. The evil one tells me the lie that I some how caused my...

Today I began my fast. I am doing a Danial fast. I have failed at fasting I believe do to the fact I was doing it to please God or some how gain his acceptance. I still do not know exactly why I am doing it accept I am walking in obedience to the Lord. On day 1 I already have a praise report. I was sexually abused as a child by my uncle. My biological father also sexually abused me. I believed after many years of counselling and prayer it was no longer an issue. In my teen years I was sexually promiscuous. Until I got pregnant at 19. I have had 2 husbands cheat on me. I have battled anxiety and depression off and on most of my life. I am on medication for it but it still reared its ugly head. It used to be anxiety about dying. Even...
