A Really Bad Day

Thanks for the prayers.. Things are better :-) The nodule on the lung is being monitored but no intervention beyond that for now. And the other elements that contributed to the bad day are being dealt with... turns out it was one of those really tough times where God makes known how much he cares; sometimes we see Him best through tears.

Dear Friends,

Please keep praying for our reading partner who was found to have a lesion on her lung... yesterday she had a really bad day.

Thank you Sisters!

Still Exiting

Ok - I'm a lot behind, I'm still in Exodus reading about the architectural makeup of the temple. What is a cubic?
I did get the CDs and I like their reading of it but it doesn't tell you where you are at so I'm not sure if I'm almost exited Exodus. They change the voices so it really helps to understand who is speaking.

P.S.
So glad Cara had a better day. Sometimes it just takes the simple sweetness of a child to show us the right way.

Reading, reading, hard to believe we have read 8 books and now in our 9th one as we go into our 4th week. Again what can one say about how great our God is, and even amongst the blood and battles he is fair and THERE. Samuel was given to the Lord and became a great prophet, anointing Saul as King since the people were so insistent on having what everyone else had. Saul unfortunately gets to high and mighty and let his success go to his head, which caused his severing his connection to God. Samuel then anoints David as instructed of God and through the course of circumstances he becomes king as Saul dies. One of the things David learned as did Joshua, not to be afraid. God told Joshua "Be strong and courageous, do not be terrified, do not be discouraged for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9. Today that is a very important message for all us to remember, we are in a battle against good and evil also but our commander has given us the above promise and we must forge forward ready to do his will.

Got a little behind, but am catching up, just can't get off track.
God's blessings to you all.

Things that make you go hmmmmm

Well, isn't this weeks reading interesting? More stories about the falling away from God, more gore, blood and yuck.

This morning I read about Samson, now there is an interesting character. Hmmm. My reading finished today at the end of Judges, and the whole horrific episode involving the Benjamites... makes ya go hmmmm! A lot to ponder.

Listening to Wednesday's (4/16) online teaching from Crossroads church helped me make more sense of it. The point of the message was about how we are all family, sometimes family messes up BIG TIME and there must be justice. But you still love 'em, pray that they will make the way back to what is right and be restored back into the circle of the love that is FAMILY. Isn't that what our Heavenly Father wants for all of us?
