Thanks for standing in the g...Oh I loved this.....<br /><br />Thanks for standing in the gap for so many hurting people. A sister in the Lord really needs prayers ,,,it just broke my heart while I was at the meeting for the Catholic Women's Leauge and they read the email that she had sent. She not only stepped down from her position but has left the league completely. Totally disheartened and broken. Her husband died suddenly a year ago, she is having health problems and one of her children's marriages broke and the son is living with her now (which we believe is a good thing). Her faith has hit rock bottom and she doesn't see God and His goodness...so I was so overcome..Plus we are dealing with HUGE issues in our area with the Catholic Church and many are broken because of this,,many rumors are being said, and as the priest said I thought was so powerful..'the Holy Spirit has pierced'....Here I thought it was an attack from Satan (which it is also but...). The priest stated that good was going to come from this...that the Church needs to become a servant as Christ was and is a servant. Getting on His hands and knees to wash the disciples feet, even Judas. He stated that some priests have become too 'high' up and looking down on the people..and that is not Who Christ is nor what the Church stands for...so lots of stuff going on..<br /><br />Please pray for Randy. He received a call from an employer where he has had two interviews now. This second call came yesterday where the employer stated that the answer wasn't no but he still needed to talk to a few other men. Please pray for God's favor. This job would entail Cabinet making (Randy enjoys working with his hands and wood, has his own wood working shop). Pray for God's hand leading in this decision that the Holy Spirit will continue to bring Randy to this man's (Mike) mind and grant him this job...<br /><br />Love you dear sister.<br />AngelaAngelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11857554289543670693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61790705902516172.post-66867527511868711412010-04-23T10:35:35.363-07:002010-04-23T10:35:35.363-07:00I was just writing about how God is my fortress an...I was just writing about how God is my fortress and then I happened upon your blog post. Hmmm ...<br /><br />I've noticed many of your comments in our blog world and decided to visit you. I was delighted that you are a correctional nurse. How awesome to have a believer working in the prisons. Several of my close friends worked in the prison system for many years but are since retired. However, they continue to minister to many there. I've witnessed several 'success stories' through their friendship including a young man who had been in prison for murder during a robbery. He is now a Christian, married and his wife is about to have their second baby. He's living for the Lord a new life indeed.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />DebbieDebbie Petrashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08235978883396499354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61790705902516172.post-5900224871293277472010-04-22T20:17:58.771-07:002010-04-22T20:17:58.771-07:00If I didn't know better I would have thought I...If I didn't know better I would have thought I wrote your opening prayer.

I know Jesus warns us that worry will zap our spiritual strength (Luke 12:22-26) but after more than 30 years of walking with the Lord it's still a daily battle. <br /><br />When I was in the work force I worked 50 to 60 hours a week and drove about 1200 miles a week in the traffic infested <br />Los Angeles area.Improper rest and diet caused me a lot of problems with people and God. A proper amount of rest and diet can do wonders for our relationships and making right decisions. <br /><br />Have a great day and Gog bless you<br /><br />RonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61790705902516172.post-29821728772628528262010-04-22T06:17:08.387-07:002010-04-22T06:17:08.387-07:00Rosel ♥ This is a message that SO many need to hea...Rosel ♥ This is a message that SO many need to hear. Many suffer through the dry times, wanting so much to regain that intimacy that they once had with Him and not really understanding why they can't reach Him. These walls are invisible to us.<br /><br />It is SO TRUE that the mightiest weapon to begin the battle with is Praise. As we begin to Praise Him for everything good, we can feel the mighty water of refreshment cleansing through every part of us. Praise God.<br /><br />He is moving through you in ways that you can't even imagine, my sister. Beautiful.
