Yes ~ again, it's been forever--seems i skipped the whole month of July--so much to tell. Summer has been wonderful albeit a few mishaps. We had the joy of having our nephews from TN down for 10 days and we had a ball with them! We also went up to TN to SURPRISE Reid for his 40th Birthday - it was such a great time. Oh Lord, I was so challenged in my thought closet and I held up the shield of faith and I prayed what I knew--that your love for me is greater than the worlds--and I was so confirmed - oh thank you Jesus, thank you, thank you! A short synopsis would be this: I was so discouraged by an opportunity given to someone else, when the Lord knew that was on my heart to happen for us, and I just questioned. So . . . I went to God in prayer and held up that shield and prayed for my unbelief and confirmed my trust. Then, I went to pick Ryan up from the Memphis airport (he had been in St Petersburg, Russia) and he shared (like the 1st thing he shared) was about a brief encounter with this man in the Moscow airport and his recogniztion of Ryan's wristband which shows this: a cross > i. Ryan explained how it meant God is greater than he is. "So," the guy replied, "you a Christ guy?" Ryan said he was and the man in his overtly loud voice, while slapping Ryan on the shoulder, said "me too! I just tell my wife, she's a Jesus freak."
CAN YOU BELIEVE IT??? God spoke directly to me through a man Ryan met in a Moscow airport - God - YOU ARE AWESOME!
Secondly, I had a screaming headache this morning. Actually, I had it last night and instead of waking up, I was just so tired that I would rub my eyes and then fall asleep. So, this morning when I got up to run, my head just throbbed. So, while we were running I would get these sharp pains about every other step right above my eyes. I just prayed. I prayed for God to take the pain away and I also prayed if I was to have the pain, please let me bear it. Doug also prayed for me and HONEST TO THE CREATOR OF LIFE ITSELF by the time we were done running, my headache had totally disappeared. GOD - forgive me when I am so human and so petty and so caught up in temporary. God - help me to show others how to live in Jesus. YOU ARE SO VERY AWESOME!!!
Oh - so much more. I love my husband, I love my girls, I love our families. God, thank you for your blessings. No, thank you for your extravagance! IT IS AWESOME!
