The First Day

Gallery 5 Comments

is well underway. Actually, the day is waning and evening of the first day is coming on strong!

2013

We welcome you because we know each of the moments you intend our ABBA holds them  in His Holy, Just and Loving Hands before He allows them to greet our faces.

I could come to our page with regrets and siting my failures of 2012 or with resolutions for 2013 but I am determined to come with only this.

I have one word for me in 2013.

Live

Live for His glory and all my other hopes will come along in their appointed times; like shaping up and shedding fat cells; like less TV viewing and more reading; a cleaner house;  more shepherding my classmates and lots of blessing my beloved hubby and family.

We have a great adventure ahead or a gloomy existence — it really is our choice — moment by moment.

Help me choose well by praying often for me — won’t you?

8 Human being, you have already been told

what is good, what Adonai demands of you —

no more than to act justly, love grace

and walk in purity with your God.

Why I Don’t Make New Year’s Resolutions

December 30, 2012 By Jolene Engle

With a New Year comes New Year’s Resolutions, right?

Well, not for this woman!

I learned a long time ago when I set New Year’s Resolution’s that 3 things happen….

She said come back tomorrow and she would give us some more tips.  I think I will!

We are thinking of you as this year of 2012 wanes its way to the place of memories. Some we will hold fondly; others will bring tears and praise that HE brought us through!

No home and no heart is perfect but let us give a good faith effort to make both our hearts and our homes places where JESUS will feel welcomed and actually enjoy living with us today and all of 2013.

Luke 12: 33  . . . make for yourselves purses that don’t wear out, riches in heaven that never fail, where no burglar comes near, where no moth destroys. 34 For where your wealth is, there your heart will be also.

Happy, Holy New Year!

It’s Thursday!

Thursday.

It’s Thursday and Thursday, until I became amiss, was/is World Evangelism Prayer Day for me. When I began the prayer project I would choose a place and pray for a month for the people of that location each Thursday. And so this morning, I realize afresh: It’s Thursday!

I looked at the map and thought how will I ever choose. Even closing my eyes and pointing didn’t seem to be the right plan.  I was familiar enough with the map right or left even with my eyes closed would not be THAT random.   So I closed my eyes, turned my back, and reached over my shoulder – I’m not kidding. :)

Bamako.

Bamako, Mali in West Africa.

Bamako

It is a troubled place and for sure prayer is needed. Perhaps you would join me today and for all of January’s Thursdays. I have two places for you to visit to see the needs and work in Bamako.  Click the link for the story:

ABBA, thank You for making me aware of a place that I did not know existed. Thank You for the work that is being done there in JESUS’ name and thank You for protection and what You will yet do there to rescue people from evil now and forever. I pray for the people of Bamako that they will see The GREAT LIGHT and will escape the darkness of religion. Holy Spirit, I pray You will soften hearts to the Gospel and Your Message of repentance, forgiveness, and eternal peace will be received. I pray You will raise up many prayer warriors to make a difference for JESUS’ sake in Bamako.

Blessings of Joy and Peace,
