ALL ABOUT ME

My friend Meredith did this one some time ago and it looked interesting and throught provoking to me.

I am - a Child of God, a wife, a mother of 4, a grandmother of 3, a friend and a blogger.

I want - to become all that God wants me to be.

I have - a remarkable family that has true honesty and openness.

I wish - everyone could know and love my Jesus like I do.

I hate - that satan has blinded the eyes of so many.

I miss - my parents, my sister, and my dear friend, Beverly, who are all waiting for me in Heaven

I fear - missing the mark of His high calling.

I feel - very deeply and show my feelings.

I hear - what people are usually saying in their hearts and not necessarily their words.

I smell - the wonderful fragrance of flowers, and good food cooking.

I crave - ice cream and REAL Mexican food

I search - for truth above all things.

I wonder - what Heaven will truly look and be like.

I love - The Word, my Lord, my husband, my sons & daughters, my grandkids, my church, my Pastor and my friends.

I dance - to some church songs.

I sing - chorus and David Ingles music.

I cry - at the drop of a hat and often. I find it hard not to cry when I pray.

I don't always - get as much accomplished as I want to.

I wish - I had enough money to truly help people when God puts it on my heart.

I fight - for the truth and what is right and fair.

I write - because I love it and have to.

I never - get tired of learning and knowing about people.

I listen - very well and truly HEAR what people are saying.

I need - just what I have, a loving husband and family.

I am happy - most all the time.

If any of you decide to do this meme please drop me a comment and let me know so I can come and read it.

FREEDOM HOUSE

I have mentioned Freedom House several times.

This is a separate work that is being supported and established by our Church, Coweta Assembly of God. At the current time we have a 3 bedroom home that is being used for this ministry work, with plans to build a 2 story woman's facility on the back of our church property at a later date..

The Home Missionary over this work is Karen Coon. Karen has been interviewed by The 700 Club and her testimony will be shown tomorrow, May 15th, on the following channels:

Direct TV - ABC Family - Channel 311 - at 10 am, 11 pm, & 3 am - On TBN channel 312 at 3 pm and NRB - Channel 378 at 10 pm

Freedom House is a work with woman coming out of prison. I know you will enjoy hearing about this work and Karen's personal testimony of her salvation and God's marvelous work in her life.

THE KNEE REPORT

As you know I had my left knee operated on last Thursday, May 8th. I had to be at the facility at 9:15 a.m. and the operation was scheduled at 11:15 a.m. It is a brand new (less than 4 years old) facility and it is really nice, plush and very fancy. They put you into your backless gown (ugh!) but then give you a matching blue robe and blue sock's for your feet and then they bring you two warm blankets to cover up in. The nurses were wonderful. The Dr. came in and talked to me and Mickey. Then he took a pen and wrote "Here" on the left knee and handed Mickey the pen as a souvenir!!!

Promptly at 11:15 I was walking down the hall to the operating room. They have 8 operating rooms!!!! I remember getting very sleepy and thinking "any minute I'm going to be out." I was. Then I woke up in the recovery room, they said 45 minutes later. Again, wonderful nurses that were asking me if I could raise my left leg, which I did 10 times and telling me to take deeper breaths. Then to another room where Mickey was brought in and another nurse was talking to me and giving me a pain pill to make the 25 mile drive home and we were out of there by 12:45.

Not a very pretty picture, but this is what it looked like Sunday noon, when I finally got to take the bandage off. Don't you love the iodine painted leg? It felt so good to get that huge bandage off!!!!


Another view of my painted leg!!!! After getting the bandage off I finally got to take a shower and go over to our daughter Jacques for a lovely family Mother's Day celebration.

I am doing great. I had very little pain and only ended up taking 4 of the pain pills, usually during the night, that they had given me. Each day the swelling goes down a little bit more. I know I am going to be as good as new soon!!!!

Thank you for all your prayers and concern.

BOOK REVIEW - The Shack

I have just finished reading

The Shack by William P. Young.

This is a book of fiction that I never would have picked up off the shelf of my local religious bookstore to read on my own. Neither the title or the cover picture would have appealed to me and I am not fond of religious fiction.

I bought it, and read it, based on 3 other bloggers who so highly recommended it.

I am so thankful I did.

This book S-T-R-E-A-C-H-E-D me beyond anything I have encountered in a long time. It took me out of my "comfort zone" as to my preconceived ideas about the Triune God, Father, Son & Holy Spirit.

I have already passed my copy on to a friend to read and recommended it to several others. I highly recommend it to you.

Just one more caveat, have a large box of tissues by your side.....you'll need them!

It is the type of book you can hardly put down, it grips you so. It is also a book you hate to see end!!!

How many of you have heard of the book or read it?

I think it is the first work of this author but I trust there will be more.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

Happy Mother's Day

HEARTS IN 1 ACCORD 24/7

When ever God calls us to a task and we are obedient you might as well pick up your sword (The Word of God) and get ready for the onslaught of the devil. But we are to "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour." I Peter 5:8

I knew when God called me to begin this 24/7 Prayer Group among the bloggers He would call and add to this group. I also knew satan would be doing anything and everything he could to try and stop it. But "Yea are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, that he that is in the world" I John 4:4.

For the first time since I began using the internet in the 1990's I was without internet service for 3 days!!!!!! That is why I have not posted in days and no one has heard from me. I finally got back on-line this evening and am frantically trying to do a little catching up on contacting people and posting this. I am also going to have knee surgery tomorrow morning at 11:15. I ask for your prayers in this regard. I do not know how many days I will be laid up with this before I will be able to sit at the computer desk. Rest assured I will be chomping at the bit to be back here!!

The other wonderful news I have to report is that we had our Remnant Prayer group at our home last Saturday night, May 3rd. and it was AWESOME!!! We began at 7 and ended at 11:30!!! We had 12 people, from 3 different communities and 3 different churches. I am just awe struck with what God is doing in our little town of Coweta and all over the world. HE is calling His people, His Church, His Body, His Bride to pray!!!!! Then Sunday morning at church, those of us who go to the prayer room for prayer during the Sunday School hour had just a marvelous time of prayer for 45 minutes. It is all so exciting to me!!!! I have longed to see this day for many years.

Our leader of the Remnant Prayer group, Vanessa, left Monday for a month internship at The Kansas City International House of Prayer and we have already had a wonderful report from her.......and she just got there.

I know God is moving all over our nation and the world and I would love for you to leave me a comment telling me how God is moving in your life and your area. Let's broadcast the Good News of what Our Lord and Savior is doing!!!!
