I'm thinking this might be a cool place to talk about some of the blessings God has given us this past two years. I'm going to begin with today's blessing...
A couple of days ago I was thinking about who I should tell that I'm now in the real estate business. Suddenly the Lord brought to my mind a woman who I had met at Gateway (A church in Southlake, TX). I e-mailed her and lo and behold, she just so happens to have her home for sale by owner. Well...here it is two days later, and she and her husband have just signed to have me market and sell their home for them. 
Isn't it beautiful?
Allow me to tell you more of the story - Like you have a choice!
The night at Gateway, I was there with a couple of friends and my daughter Cathy. Jack Hayford spoke that night. While we were singing a song I had a vision of standing waiting expectantly when all of a sudden Jesus rode up on a white horse. I put my arm up and he flung me onto the back of his steed. I crouched behind him, holding on tightly. Suddenly the horses wings unfurled and it began to fly. Jesus drew His sword and told me that He was fighting the battle and all I had to do was to hold on to Him.
It reminded me of the verse (Terri's paraphrase) Stand firm, and watch the Lord deliver you!
I've clung to that vision time after time. And each time that I am reminded of it, I see myself hiding behind Jesus, grasping firmly to him, as he flies away doing battle for me.
It was that night that I met Ginger. Jack Hayford asked us to gather into little groups with the people behind - or in front- of us for prayer. Ginger prayed the most powerful prayer I had ever heard! It was like our spirits melded together through that prayer. Until tonight, we had not seen each other again and that was almost a year ago when we met. But our paths continued to travel until we crossed once again.
I'm excited, not only to have her great house to sell for her, but also because she is such a dear woman in the Lord, I'm excited to be able to work with her and spend more time with her.
The full text of the verses I was talking about earlier is from Exodus 14:13-14
"And Moses said to the people. "Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD< which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. The LORD will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace."
Gosh I love that! I love..the Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace. I see myself riding on that horse, holding my Peace - my Prince of Peace. (goosebump time)
For His Glory! |
Jan. 26, 2007 - Well, Praise the Lord!
We met at a little conference a few years ago... maybe 2004? I'm really not sure. It was in Monroe, LA and I was invited to sell my book (Homeschooling Only One) in the foyer. My group of friends and I were blessed to go to dinner with you after the conference.
I'm so glad to catch up on your life thru this blog. I have lifted you up to the Lord when He has brought you to mind. I didn't realize you had found a "home" here on Homeschool Blogger, and I'm glad you did!
Blessings of joy & delight be to you & yours! May the Lord restore all that the locusts have eaten.
{{{Hugs & Prayers}}}
In Him,
Donna Conner
P.S. Had to mention that I know your pastor's wife! She used to belong to my homeschool group several years ago... Sadly, I tend to see her yearly at the Arlington Book Fair where we laugh, say hello, and hug briefly before we jump back into shopping for books! :o)
