Dear; Chrit & spunkylaydee. now there are 111 of us.
Welcom to you!! we can use all the paryers we can get, as we travel through this valley together.

Today I have a request for this weekend, I am traveling with my daughter and friends to Omaha, and the weather channel is telling me it will be icey, I do not like icey it is tempting me to not go to the Knowles Mercy Center for a JOY Retreat, my anxiety is trying to tell me to call it off, but I believe God wants us to go, and I believe, we need to go for so many reasons each of us have had a hard year, and we are comeing out of a tough time in our lives, and looking for this year to have been a turning point, this JOY reatreat is a catalist for us, to begin a new JOY in our lives, I know I need to be there it is the 6 hour drive there today and espceially back home tomarrow eavening that is my concern, I know you will pray for our safety, that the angels, will hold back the ice for us. and make strate our path, guideing us through in safety.

I so appreciate your prayers, out trip to Nevada to be with my mother and our kids, for Thanksgiving was wonderfull, Thank you, for that too.

"The Righteousness of God" by Joyce Meyer
Self-righteousness leaves no room for human error. We can only have it if we do everything perfectly. As soon as we make a mistake, we no longer have it and feel bad because we have lost it.
God's righteousness, however, is quite the opposite. It has been provided for those of us who, even though we would like to be perfect, have faced the fact that we cannot be perfect (except in heart). We have tried living with our faith in ourselves and found that it does not work. We have now placed our faith in Jesus and have believed that He became our righteousness. As we put on Christ, we put on righteiousness like a robe and learn to wear it boldly.
<span class="ev_code_RED">For as many [of you] as were baptized {into Christ (into a spiritual union and communion with Christ, the Anointed one, the Messiah) have put on (clothed yourselves with) Christ - Galatians 3;27 AMP I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul will exult in my God; for He has clothed me with the garments of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness. - Isaiah 61;10 AMP</span>

Dear God; may we all accept your gift of the <span class="ev_code_RED">robe of righteousness</span>bought with the blod of Jesus, and comunicate with you, as our Heavenly Father, knowing Your love, and care surrounds us, wear ever we go, what ever we are doing, may we work to be pure in heart, weather we succeed or fail, may we know You are in control, that You are directing our steps, and know that You love us either way, and are always there to pick us up and start all over again. in this season of celebration of the birth of You Son our Saviour, may we be truly greatfull, and open to all Your gifts. in the precious name of Jesus, Amen

This is so gifted by those so fervent in prayer. We are blessed because of that. I have a prayer request.
My sister in law was diagnosed with cancer of the colon. Its possible it has spread to the lymph nodes.
Please keep her in your prayers as she goes to MD Anderson Cancer Hospital the next few days for second opinion and possibly treatment.
She has a very close relationship with God, but the human part of her is scared, and i cant say i blame her. So, please pray they can get it all and she will recover.
Shes only 62 and other than what they found, very healthy person. We All know God only does whats best for us. But, asking him is what we are suppoed to do..Her name Is Jackie. God Bless each one here, and You are all in my prayers.. Cfe, so glad to see you back!!!! Love you all,, Nelly:)

God Bless Jackie's Higest Good! Nelly

Thank you *D* I did go, and the confrence was cancled due to the Ice storm, my friends and I enjoyed our day at the motell, and had our own Joy session, because I believe God directs my steps, very little saten throwes sticks to me very long. we had a good time and we all came home felling rested and refreshed, we have decided to do that more offten,
God Bless you and your wife's Higest Good. life happens, but God has called us to be over comers!

Grace is the abillity of God which comes to us free for the asking when we accept His Son Jesus as Savior. The grace of God is the exact opposit of works of the flesh. Grace leaves you strong and calm; works render you weak and powerless, frustrated, and frantic. Don't be satisfied with just enough grace to save you from etermal damnation. Receive not only grace which saves, but receive grace, grace, and more grace so you may live victoriously and glorify Jesus in your daily life. by Joyce Meyer

I was just reading New Life Live's letter, at; http: //www.newlife.com/articles/article.asp?libid=1720 ;
You know, learning to live life as God intended involves learning that much of life is a process, and not a string of disconnected events. Let me give you a couple of examples.

My good friend Dave Stoop is an expert in the area of forgiveness. And he talks about the process of forgiveness. He makes the point that the bigger the infraction, the longer it takes to forgive someone. We make the decision early on, but it may take some days or weeks or months to finally work through the process of forgiveness—depending how little or big the thing you’re forgiving is.

In his book, Forgiving the Unforgivable, Dave takes the position that God decided to forgive Adam and Eve when they sinned in the garden, but his forgiveness wasn’t complete until Jesus, on the cross, said, “It is finished!” The “it” Jesus was referring to was our forgiveness. The first sin of Adam and Eve was so serious, so offensive to God, that it took him all of the Old Testament to express his anger and his sadness and get to the point of final forgiveness.

In my book, ealing is a Choice, HH Healing is a Choice, I talk about the process of healing, and I point out that it all starts with a decision. You must answer this question . . . the same question Jesus asked the crippled man at the pool of Bethsaida . . . “Do you want to be healed?”

Once you make that decision, then you have steps to take. You have some things to work on. You may have forgiveness to seek; you may have to have a tough conversation to let someone know what you’re struggling with or how they’ve hurt you. You’re likely to have to take a step of faith that makes you real uncomfortable. But, whatever it is, it’s the first step on to the path of healing.

Now, we think of Christmas as an event, or maybe as a time of year. It’s that special morning when kids get excited to open gifts. It’s putting up the tree and the lights and all the decorations. It’s Christmas Carols and a candlelight service. It’s all pointed toward that blessed, and expectant event—Christ’s birth.

As special as Christ’s birth was, and is in our hearts, when you stop and think about it, it was really a simple birth. A child born in a manger . . . unnoticed, humble, and simple surroundings.

But the surroundings and events leading up to that first Christmas were incredible! After all, this is the only virgin birth there ever was. It was heralded by a host of heavenly angels. The shepherds came to see and spread the word. It was the fulfillment of prophecy and something simply amazing and important.

But, Christmas is not an event. Like so much in life, it’s a process. After all, what’s so special about Christmas if Jesus’ perfect life, his death and resurrection didn’t follow?

I had never thought of the old testement, that way, like God just had to express his dissapointment, to get the people ready to be forgiven, and thus able to give forgiveness. What a Blessing that is!

I pray we can all accept God's gift of forgiveness, this season, and by accepting it, be more able to give it to those we need to not just for their seak but for our owne. God Bless you all, and all you love. Remember God loves us first, and only expects us to love him back. Only Believe. in Jesus precious Name, Amen
