TAKING TIME AWAY

Awfully nice to have these pages to write what's going on in my life and inform those who care to know what is on my mind. So it's about that time. Time to take some time away and re-evaluate what's going on inside. It's time to listen carefully and make some more decisions.

For a time (not certain exactly how long yet) I will be taking a break from technology. I will be receiving mail via P.O. Box 16644 Pensacola, FL 32507. I cannot promise an immediate response, but I do promise to pray for you, and to write back when I can.

Meanwhile, pray for me. Pray for me to have a greater understanding of the knowledge of God. I pray for all of us that we will not allow ourselves to remain distracted, but that we will seek first His Kingdom and righteousness.

Find someone today and be their friend. Listen and love them. Befriend those people you claim to be friends with. A true friend is a gift from God. So be one.

INVISIONING

Children of God crying out to a city, praying, singing, searching for the lost. While in conversations, listening to their story, painting a picture on a piece of wood, with a verse they can take with them, reminding them never to forget what is temporary and what is eternal.

What if we lived to relieve peoples burdens along the way, searching for ways to lighten their load, and hopefully they will be so encouraged by the love that so deeply impacts them...they could not help but do the same for others.

As long as I have breath in me - I will be telling anyone I can of my Father's faithfulness to answer prayer, and lift up the broken hearted. He frequently displays His love and power in ways that heals the hurting, and defies the impossible with the simplest of understanding. Keep boggling our minds Lord. Your love is nothing we can explain, even though we keep trying to...

THE REFUGE






Spent a few days in Indiana. Met up with some precious friends I had not seen in quite a while. Threw some snowballs at a few people. Painted some walls and a window on the corner of second and main street (downtown evansville). Saw immediate answers to my prayers. Met a new friend in Memphis. Continually rejoicing in the Lord for THE REFUGE He is to me and all those who call on Him in truth.

CONTINUAL THANKS

Spent the last few weeks (or months) visiting with my family in Georgia, Florida, and Alabama. Enjoying every minute of playing and watching my nephews and nieces grow. Continual thanks be to God as I received my truck back from the mechanic shop, received funds to renew the tag, got a new $100 battery for $25. The Lord is ever merciful and kind.

Went to the eye doctor the other day and this is the third year in a row that my eyes have improved. Of course, they cannot explain it. I can!! Why should my eyes be getting better and better the older I get? It's kind of backwards from the way they say it should be. Imagine that.

It is definetely the winter time around here... from one day to the next never know what to expect. Feels like South America at times, but then right back to artic circle bitter cold. Thank God for hot chocolate, hot ovens, and sunshine and hugs friends that remind you -- you are loved. If it's been a long time since you've written or called, update me.

Seasons are changing, I have changed, and honestly my methods of communicating are not what they used to be. NowAdays, I am not keeping up with everyone. I will keep praying for any of you that the Lord brings to mind, but please note that I am more of a responder than a keeper-upper. Any calls or letters I receive are truly an honor. Thank you for being my friend.
