Thanks *D*. I need to praise God in every situation instead of worry. My son is losing weight and has been home here with us, had to bring his big dog. There's a problem in his esophagas. The pain comes real bad off and on even after drinking a little water. Will take him to the Dr.again this afternoon. We almost took him into the hospital. Talked to Nurse Direct. He has no insurance but thank God for a Dr.who gave him meds and saw him at no charge. OK,so God did that right after my husb. and I prayed in the lobby. I must believe everything will be OK.

Yes Don I will be praying for you as well. Hey Everyone, Please really,really pray for our son. I'm typing from a computer in a hotel. My husband was snoring so bad I couldn't sleep. It was nice to get away for 2 days. Will be leaving soon and hopefully have a better rpt.when I get home on our son. Talked to him last nite. He went into ER. He's had hiccups for a day. Had a black stool. They said to come in thought it could be an ulcer. Said it wasn't and sent him home with the hiccups knowing he had little sleep and lost 8 lbs. Something seems very wrong. I woke praying around 2am. Will let you know more this afternoon. PRAY HARDER PLEASE! tHanks.

Well we are back from Iowa, got 1 new bull. will be going next weekend to 2 bull sales. this is fun, meeting new people, and visiting with them is good practice too. The weather was great, and I am hoping for the same next weekend.

You have been in my prayers *D* and Barb G. and all of our members as you are written in my bible. I pray God's higest good for you. Tonight I am reading in Joyce Meyers calender; "Many people spend their lives climbing the lader of success only to find when they reach the top, their ladder is leaning against the wrong builiding. When we keep our priorities straight, we discover that everything we really need in life is found in the Lord". <span class="ev_code_RED">You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy, at Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore - Psalm 16;11 AMP</span>

Now that is R&R. I don't really enjoy hotell roomes, accept that I don't have to clean them, most of the time. I don't exactly enjoy car rides it is 7 hours to Iowa from here, and my husband likes to concor the miles. But I do love leaving this house behind, and spending time with my husband wear I am the only one on his mind for a little while. He will stop for me now just because I ask him too. I have helped him to understand that is a way to show his love for me. He didn't know that, I had to tell him I needed him to respect me that much. but first I had to respect me that much, I had to stop trying to stay out of his way, and not rock his world with my needs. I had to realize my needs are just as important as his are, and when I told him I needed him to think of my needs as equal to his. He was surprised, after all he didn't know my needs, I was the one who decided my needs weren't important enought to tell him. He was just being him, he certainly was not raised to think of others, he was raised to think of the needs of the cow even above his own. I love the way my life is changeing now that I like myself enough to speak up for me, and stand up for me. Others respect me more, and I think my husband loves me more.

Now I am the servent of all. I like serving others, I think it is my calling, and now I serve me too, this is much better, for every one. I can truly love my neighbor, now that I love myslef, we are equally blessed.

I pray you will all love your-selves, at least as much as you love your neighbor, and grow in the service of God. Amen

One day God spoke to my heart and said, "you're the apple of My eye" I didn't even know that Scripture was in the Bible. {See Zechariah 2;8) The devil came in with a thought right behind that and said, "isn't that a bunch of pride? Who do you think your are?" so I thought, I should't be thinking like that.

It goes against our carnal thinking to realize that we are special; we are gifted; we are different, Each one of us is an individual, created by our Father to be different from the person mext to us.

As I was thinking about it, God showed me a little mental pictuer of a lady standing in a supermarket by a large pile of apples. She looked all around and found one that was really super then reached in to get the very best one.

God was telling me that I was the best apple, the special one to Him. That doesn't seem right, but you see, God says that to every one of us, He isn't saying that everyone else is not good, except us, He is saying that we are all special. It is in the Word, and the Word is for every one of us. by Joyce Meyer

<span class="ev_code_RED">You are the apple of God's eye! - Zachariah 2;8</span>

I pray for you all today; to feel special, knowing some how that He is pleased by just spending time with you, and letting Him Love you. Awmen

Thank you so much Cheri. Because of you and the Holy Spirit, i just had a little bible study on the phrase "apple of my eye". I'm blessed for it. Thank you!
I found Deut 32:10 "God protected them in the howling wilderness as though they were the apple of his eye."

I'd like to ask for prayers for my husband. He is getting way too much work for the hours in the day. It's gone on for six months now and he's starting to push back and tell the boss off a bit. This isn't like him; he's got a strong work ethic but 60-80 hours a week and every weekend is too much. He's applied for another job about an hours drive from our home. But i ask for your prayers for God's cover, protection, guidance, wisdom and presence with my husband. Just going through the fire just now. Thanks to each of you and I pray for you also to be blessed and covered under His wing! Praises and glory to Him! Amen and thank you! -Anne & Rick

The Lord is the Author and the finisher, What He begins, He completes. He will do that for us - if we hold our fiath firm until the end. by Joyce Meyer
<span class="ev_code_RED">Looking unto Jesus the author and the finisher of our fiath; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throwne of God. - Hebrews 12;2 KJV</span>

I was just comenting on question 6 in Chapeter 6 of the Bibles study "The Battifield of the Mind" thread.
I thought of this verse, the study is talking about Abraham's Fiath, and his ancor, This is our ancor the Covenent with God through Crist's sacrafice on the cross we can have Faith that God looks on our ritiousness, bought on the cross, and given to us freely by our beiefe that Jesus made a covenent with us while we were yet sinners to get us home. no matter how prodical we are the path home is through the blood of Christ, not by anything we can do, but by the Grace of God we are free, to believe and have Faith that God will compleete the work He has begune in us. We have this stronghold from the enemy that we have to do something, we aren't worthy some how, God just couldn't love us enough to heal our minds, bodyes, and emotions. It has to be hard we have to please God somehow give Him soemething! All he wants is to spend time with us so He can teach us his ways, and grow our Faith for without faith we cannot please God, even so it is not hard His yoke is light! Love is spelled time with God just getting on here and praying, and looking through the bible, that Battelfiled of the Mind bible study helps to do that too. I think God slowed me down with the consiquences of my not finding time for Him. I prayed to know him better, He is just answering my prayer, He layed me down in the green pastuers of my room and found me time to get to know him better. Now I can step out in Faith, that God is directing steps even when my foot hurts and I can't step He directs me to read His love letter to me (the Bible). and learn His ways

I am so much enjoying the peace of knowing God loves me and directs my steps and I am not in to deep or out to far that God cannot reach me and bring me back to His way, It most certinly is Freedom, to be me with God at the helm, I can <span class="ev_code_RED">["...rejoice and give Prase beig fully satisfied and assured that God is able and mighty to keep His word and to do what He had promised" Romans 5;21</span>] for Abraham, he will do it for me. For He is the same yesterday, today, and tomarrow. and what he has done for others He can do for you, on that you can believe, I pray you will all grow in Faith and Believe, God is the Author and Finisher of you life. Awmen
