that's how special I am to Him.
What more needs to be said about God?
Why would He love you so? Maybe it's because when you abide in Christ you are so saturated in Jesus that when God looks at you, He sees His own precious Son and envelopes you in His love for Jesus' sake!
I do want to be saturated with Him, so others see Him through me, the . . .
God, the blessed and
only Ruler,
the King of kings and
Lord of lords,
who alone is immortal and
who lives in unapproachable light,
To him be honor and might forever. Amen.
Father God, You are amazing.... I have worked relentlessly today trying to finish the framing project I started weeks ago, leaving it because my heart, mind and soul were so dark and unable to function.
You care about that. You know what it feels like to be in darkness, overwhelmed . . . esp when your Son hung on that cruel cross.
Gentle Shepherd, I long to . . .
pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness.
For if I had these characteristics, others would see Father,
just as He sees you when he looks at me.
I am so sorry I could not overcome my need/temptation to have a smoke.
I wonder if I have some chantix left. I should have not given that abilify to Cathy, but its done and it helps her.
I received a letter from Lindy with news
Regarding your airfare and tour pricing to return through Zimbabwe - Since your airline ticket will likely be issued as an individual ticket rather than using the group’s schedule and fare, it would probably be easiest for us to charge you the “land only” price for the tour package, which is $4,790. You can then purchase your airline ticket separately through Bonnie, paying her directly. Does that respond to the question you are asking? If not, just let me know.
Bonnie will likely be giving you a call within the next several weeks to discuss with you the exact timing that you have in mind for your extended flights. In addition to your request of departure from Chicago or Milwaukee, she will need to know a timeline of when you wish to travel from Nairobi to Harare and from Harare back to the States.
I ask that you help me decide how many days I should stay and I ask that my ticket is not off the charts.... I recklessly spent $ on things I needed for the house and paid some catch up bills, but I did go overboard. Give me wisdom and guidance and the ability to refrain from spending without thinking it through. Tis all I ask for myself today.
I also received a letter from Bev about the election but there are still needs. . . as with Zimbabwe, there is a bunch technical issues related to ballots and criticism that things were "not fair." She said 70% of Kenya voted. But still people need to have patience for the slow returns of ballots. Bind the forces that are determined to undermine and cause trouble. Bind the evil one who is the author of confusion.
I ask that Chrissy is truly convicted that she must give me the $1000 I entrusted to her to be held until I needed it. Just force her to see how wrong it is to have stole from me.
Joel and Jill Skinner need to be reminded . . .
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.
- Joshua 1:9
as they minister amoung the university students in Mbarara, Uganda. Relationship building, teaching, discipleship amoung those they encounter daily and weekly. Thank you that their children have a home school teacher to free them for service. Balancing responsibilities can be hard at times (as I well know) so give them family time as well as a thirst for their quiet time with you, like you gave me today.
I ask that students seek the Skinner's out for help in understanding their Christian walk, for concerns about faith and belief, and just because You are drawing them to yourself and have provided the Skinner's to be there.
Keep all my family focused on things eternal. If you are calling Boo to missions, allow him to know this thirst, not just because he was ministering but because the laborers are few and the harvest is ready.
Well everybody's got a story to tell
And everybody's got a wound to be healed
I want to believe there's beauty here
Cause oh, I get so tired of holding on
I can't let go, I can't move on
I want to believe there's meaning here
(Chorus)
How many times have you heard me cry out
"God please take this"?
How many times have you given me strength to
Just keep breathing?
Oh I need you
God, I need you now.
Standing on a road I didn't plan
Wondering how I got to where I am
I'm trying to hear that still small voice
I'm trying to hear above the noise
Oh I walk, oh I walk through the shadows
And I, I am so afraid
Please stay, please stay right beside me
With every single step I take
How many times have you heard me cry out?
And how many times have you given me strength?
I need you now
