Well, it's certainly been a busy couple of weeks! (Who am I kidding? It's busy ALL the time!)
But praise the Lord for His goodness and mercy, which follow me through all the days of my life! I'm so glad to know that even through these crazy, BUSY days... He is with me, and He will work it all for my good! :)
I want to say a special thank you to each and every one who has been (and is) praying for my Daddy. He's doing much better now. His ulcers seem to be okay... no evidence of bleeding at all, anymore. His blood pressure is still a bit low, but nothing at all like it has been. Atleast it's close to 100 now. But I do thank you for praying, and I ask that you continue to lift him up in your prayers... not just for his physical needs to be met, but most of all, for his spiritual needs. I would so love to see him draw nigh unto God, get back in church, and to just be "ON HOLY GHOST FIRE" for the Lord. Please continue praying!
While Daddy was in the hospital, we were having VBS at church. Pastor did a study for the adults on "The 7 Feast Days", which was wonderful. I'm so thankful I was able to attend... I had been looking forward to it a great deal. Daddy was in ICU; therefore, I could only go back and see him at certain times, so everything worked out perfectly, that I could attend the study, and still go visit Daddy afterwards. (Just another one of those "icing-on-the-cake" blessings.)
The home Bible studies have been going great, as well. We've been learning from the book of Matthew on Thursday nights at our friends, Derrick & Pam's house; and then studying Proverbs on Mondays or Tuesdays, here at home. Tonight, it was just Steve and I, along with our friend, Eddie. We were pretty deep into it, until around midnight. It was sooooo good! I can't help but think of the words to this song...
There's a sweet sweet Spirit in this place
And I know that it's the Spirit of the LordThere are sweet expressions on each face
And I know that it's the presence of the LordSweet Holy Spirit
Sweet heavenly dove
Stay right here with us
Filling us with your love
And for these blessings
We lift our hearts in praise
Without a doubt we'll know that we have been revived
When we shall leave this place
We're very thankful for how the Lord is at work. We've witnessed firsthand how He's been transforming lives right before our very eyes... including our own. What a blessing!
I'm excited about going to the pre-screening of the movie, "Fireproof", tomorrow night. I've been counting down the days. I do pray (and ask that you do, as well) that Steve will be able to get off work in time to go. Even if it means going back later, it would be such a worthwhile investment to do so, in order to attend this movie with me.
It isn't often that good, Godly movies make it to the big screen, not to mention one that deals with relationships... specifically, the marriage relationship. (Do you think the devil has a reason for that??) Uhhh.......... YEAH!
Kirk Cameron is in this movie. He plays a firefighter, Capt. Caleb Holt, whose job is rescuing others. But now he finds himself in the position of having to rescue his marriage. I'm sure this movie has MUCH to offer the younger and older couples alike, who may not even realize their marriage is under attack. (Remember, the devil is subtle... little things, little by little.) But knowing about the warnings in advance can keep us from going down the wrong paths in the future.
Well, I'm beginning to have a little trouble holding my eyes open, so I think I'll head on to bed for a few winks. 6:00 will be here before I know it... "time to feed the chickens."
Have a blessed week in Jesus!
