A Walk Around the Block :)

What a blessing to have you all in my living room last night. I can't stop thinking of your stories. I felt like Ruth in the field of Boaz...I got to glean so much and return home so full and joyful!

Seth is under the gift of concentrated prayer. People change when we pray. History changes. Courses change. Curses fail; blessings come! Darkness is swallowed up in Light! We will trust the Lord. I read in the book of Jude this a.m. It's the famous doxology..."To Him who is able to keep you from falling and present you blameless..." He is able and He is eager. Thank God He's not just able and reluctant. Oh no...never! May He become more beautiful to you today. May you experience in your inner man another measure of His wisdom. I hope you see Him in new places. He is working on all levels.

This morning I was walking around a neighborhood and passed a familiar sight...big moving van parked out in front with garage door open and new boxes open and ready to be packed for the move. What wasn't familiar was what happened when I passed by the young mom who was loading her two precious blonde children in her jeep. I thought, "wow Lord...wonder where her husband is. Wonder if he is overseas right now and she is left to do this move alone. Maybe this isn't her first move alone. I wonder if she has any friends here. Respect began to well up in my heart for all these military women who do this type of thing all the time. But another thing welled up too...the Lord's presence.

"Lisa, pray for her today as you walk by. I hear. I see. Do you believe that you passed her today accidentally? No. I wanted you to see her and pray for her. This is how I work." You see dear ladies, these are the "mere edges of His ways..." This is how God encouraged me today and no doubt He used my silent prayers to bless that sweet mom with her two babies and retriever. Oh how He cares and acts!

I hope you will enjoy your reading and the CD. I already love you all so much!
