Does God Sing to me?

This morning as I prepared my heart and Spirit to go on "the air" (a live radio broadcast over the phone on air from Edmonton , Alberta, Canada, The Morning Show AM 930) it seemed the Lord lead me to Psm 107 these are the verses that jumped out for me...Verse 2 "Tell our story", 8 Thanks giving, 14 Brought out of darkness, 15 UNFAILING Love!!, 20 Word healed them, 21 Unfailing LOVE, 27 "At their wits end..!", 28 Cried to Lord in their troubles, 29 Stilled the storm to a whisper (smile I love that 'word picture') and "hushed the waves" (can you see it? I see  a mother singing to her baby ..hush little baby don't you cry, mommy's going to sing you a lullaby ...). God sings to us, yes he does its in the word somewhere (I forget where) but I read it, and I know its true! So why not welcome your heavenly Father, you Abba Father (and if you are comfortable with these words "your daddy") to sing to you. Smile, I know that He longs to, what parent doesn't? Your His child. Maybe you could do a duet? We sing "to" him why not with Him? Sigh. I love him, and you, big smile.

Leaving Soon for Thailand

I am counting the sleeps, just five more days and I will be in Thailand!
I am busy doing last minute preparations and packing...I am very excited about going, this has been over two years of planning, praying and preparing and now it is culminating so quickly! I trust I will be a blessing. I am long to meet the wonderful, warm and loving new Thai friends that I have heard about, and that God has chosen.
This morning at 6:30 am several (6) 0f us prayed, Karen in the USA and 5 of us on a conference call, the Holy Spirit moved powerfully. I sense some thing supernatural is going to happen, I feel it in my bones. Something that has God's signature on it. I am going with great  anticipation! There has already been a series of miracles on many levels to make this missions trip possible ie like with one weeks notice Lucille and Aimee are coming with me! And the finances are all falling in place, and Hilde and Miriam helping with lessons and power point and Barb getting the finances and year end done and much more..
I am so blessed to be,
Walking with my King one day at a time and...
to think that 'He" calls me "friend"? Smile. Yes I am blessed!

My Prayer for you...From My Friend Laura Lynn

Wow what a prayer, thank you Laura Lynn for writing this and praying it for me! And for our permission to pass it along and pray it for all my friends...dear friends this is for you!

I pray for divine connections, favor so great it astounds and ironic honor to take its rightful place in our lives.  I pray that mistakes of the past become so distant that we wonder if they ever really happened and the successes of our future will be so awe inspiring...it will be difficult to comprehend or believe it's true.  I pray for clarity, good judgment, wisdom and Godly power, strength to endure and an open heart to receive more than we asked for...more than we imagined could be.  I pray that the God who saw us in the darkness of our weakness would raise us in His strength to higher places, larger lands, indomitable territories and unpredicted conquests.

 

May God raise your expectations to what He is truly capable of and may you experience the most unrelenting, overwhelming breeze of His unfailing, unconditional, incomprehensible love.  And may you truly know that He sees you and is captured by your brilliance as you shine with magnificent beauty, not only before Him, but also before those whom you serve so graciously.  I pray that you receive glimpses in shadowed moments of how He really feels about you...but only in small humanly bearable portions...cause if we truly knew...if we could experience the whole of it...would we be able to stand?

And this is all possible because of Heb 13:8..."Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever!" Be blessed and pass it along!

Happy New Year 2009

A New year has arrived, and I celebrate, for God has given me more time to win the lost and rescue the dying. I am more passionate to "preach the Gospel" than ever before. It is all I live for, to please my Jesus, one day at a time. And my but the days fly by quickly, there is so much work to do for the King and to advance His Kingdom! What a joy to be a servant of the most high God.
I know you have heard me say this before, but I must say it again, "I am greatly  blessed, highly favored and deeply loved, and to this statement I am adding one more thing..."I am choosing joy in my journey". Smile.
The other day I was reading the book of James (very short, only five chapters) but dear friends can you believe this... all of the above statement is included in that one book, James? Please read it I am sure there are other promises in James just for YOU. I highlight or underline & date he ones that He gives me.
James 1;12 "Blessed"
James 2:5 "Loved" ..because I am chosen" and of coarse His LOVE is confirmed in John 3:16
James 4:6 "Favored...God shows favor to the humble and the oppressed"
James 1:2 "Joy"
  a special thank you for each one of you who have covered me with your on going prayers and your encouragement in practical ways, words of affirmation,gifts, e-mails cards, financial support and time,;a very valuable commodity these days! Each of these practical gifts being equal in our God given love language.
This year I pledge to be more of a Jude 20 women! My prayer is that you too will embrace Jude 20 as your personal challenge too. As we continue to walk hand in hand with the King. Smile.
With Love and pausing to pray for you all who read this blog.Maralee
