Today was my LAST day at my job....God is MOVING with a MIGHTY force!! I am sooo excited to see WHAT in THE world He has next for ME! It was a BLESSING to work for the MUD/Town offices for THREE years!Learned some WONDERFUL knowledge AND COOL experiences ...even the few NOT so cool ones ended up being a treasure in my life!!!
PART of today's Bible reading DEFINITELY confirms His calling me away...Psalm 78:1-31
Trusting in the Lord is SOMETIMES hard..but ALWAYS right!

Friendship
I am ALWAYS soooo perplexed by friendships....the way they come and go....the way some last FOREVER...and the way SOME just truly were NEVER meant to be! I KNOW they are IMPORTANT because JESUS said so!!!
John 15:12-14 " My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command"
Of course HE is the ULTIMATE friend!!! I sooo treasure that gift!!! ESPECIALLY right now in this 5th year friendship drought. I honestly get sooo overwhelmed by the fact that God has NOT granted me a dear friend here in this AREA in the 5 years that I have been here....
Don't get me wrong...I have friends...just not like the ones I long for...the deep friendship I have with some AMAZING people in other towns far away :o) I KNOW God has someone SPECIAL appointed for me... in HIS time....I continue to pray for my heart to be ALERT for WHO it is....
until then...He will be my portion...my supply!
2 Peter 1:3 " His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue."

Physical AND Spiritual blessing
In studying for the lesson this week I am in AWE of God's divine timing for this particular lesson! Mark 8:22-38 it is truly MORE than a blind man seeing physically...I believe God wants us to see it is sooo much more about him seeing Spiritually!!! A lesson on FAITH!!!! WOW!!! sooo much of what is needed RIGHT now for sooooo many INCLUDING me!!!
We need to be reminded DAILY that we have a war raging inside of us FLESH against SPIRIT!!! As humans we want the things that satisfies our flesh...people HEALED for here on earth...other earthly requests that we want ...answered NOW...when there is sooo much more of an opportunity of our Spiritual being to receive a blessing!
The fleshly desires TEMPORARILY satisfy...while Spiritual desires are the beautiful treasures that ETERNALLY satisfy! When we TRULY realize Jesus doesn’t always work the same way, that multitudes DO NOT determine the outcome of the answered prayer and that God is not forced to act according to our expectations... BECAUSE He DID do it a different way. We will gain the full measure of His abundant life riches!
We need to dig in: Study the revelations of God to us — scripture and events. Utilize this as an opportunity to allow your heart, soul & mind to become one!
Jesus asks... "Are your hearts hardened?” we ned to analyze the state of our heart. If we are not excited, if we do not feel a response of joy, it is because the mind has grasped it but the heart & soul has not.
Then Jesus says: “Having eyes do you not see, and having ears do you not hear?” Do not just look at the events you are seeing and think that is all there is to it. It is a parable, a parallel to something deeper and more important, concerning your spirit. As these men were being fed by the loaves and the fishes, he was saying to them,(last weeks lesson) “Don’t think of this merely as a way of getting a good, quick, free meal. We need to Understand that He is the source for everything in life!!!
“Do you not remember?” We need to look back at what has happened and recognize that God has been at work in our life. What is happening right now is not just an accident. It is divinely part of a bigger plan.
There is a war raging inside of us...FLESH VS SPIRIT...Don't step up on the battlefield unprepared!!! suit up with your Spiritual weapons...which first starts with your heart,soul & mind!
2 Corinthians 4:18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
Lord I pray against the enemy and his attempts to discourage-distract & to defeat us through his destructible behavior! Lord help us to remember that WE HAVE AUTHORITY OVER him!!! He has NO control or victory! Lord I pray that we REFUSE to wear the yoke of fear-defeat-discouragement-fleshly desires- earthly rewards& request to be answered...Lord may we truly BELIEVE that Your yoke is light and we trade with YOU NOW!!!
You are a SOVEREIGN HOLY KING who adores us and delights in & over us! May THAT bring us the SPIRITUAL SATISFACTION You hope for us! In the AMAZINGLY MATCHLESS name of JESUS I pray...AMEN AMEN AMEN

In seeking a WORD from God ...
I was flipping through a little devotional book and the word strength caught my eye...so here is the entry I read....Isaiah 30:15 "In quietness and confidence shall be your strength."
God never forgets anything He promises. That's right...never. God's agenda continues to unfold right on schedule, even when there is not a shred of evidence that He remembers. Even when the most extreme events transpire and "life just doesn't seem fair", God is there, carrying out His providential plan exactly as He pre-arranged it. He keeps His Word! ~ Charles R. Swindoll
Elijah
I am thankful for the promises of God...especially the one in Deuteronomy 31:8 that says "The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."
Thank You Lord for prompting me to seek your Word...that brings me encouraging AND empowering life!
I pray you are as blessed by this entry as I was :)

I love the way he loves me!
My husband NEVER ceases to amaze me! (in the good way...mostly) He is Godly, romantic, charming, hilarious, considerate, unselfish, understanding, PATIENT, fun, both predictable and unpredictable! As a husband, father, disciple, friend etc...I can go on and on and on...But I have to get Emily up and get us all ready for the day, so I won't...
Anywhoooo There are lots and lots of things and ways that my husband shows his love for me that makes my heart leap with delight! Last night in our family prayer time, when it was his turn...he pleaded for God to answer his wife's prayer...This isn't the first time he has begged God for this request...it's just that in this season I am in...the weariness of specific prayers that haven't seemed to be answered yet...
The passion, and amazing love from his heart through his voice, pleading for my hearts desire to be fulfilled...just makes my heart and soul dance!
Thank You Lord for blessing me beyond comprehension with a man that loves me just a little less than he loves You! Thank You for always providing me with a refreshing cool drink in a dry and parched land. I am anointed by Your precious Grace and Mercy! I am blessed!
I love you Joel Gary Quile...My human Hero!
"Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need" Hebrews 4:16
