Our Father....

A week or so ago, I was out and had asked my sister to "tuck the kids in" at bedtime. No Problem, right.....

WRONG. Not that it turned into a problem, however....my sister had a story for me when I got home. 7:30....bedtime for Adam. He got his jammies on, brushed his teeth (I hope) and got into bed and asked Aunt Terri to tuck him in and pray. This is a kid who CANNOT go to sleep without someone praying over him. If we ever forget, he is sure to remind us. Even if we are out, the phone rings and I have to pray over him on the phone, but this night Aunt Terri was sufficient. "OK, Adam, (and her prayer was the usual....) Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take. Adam, now I want you to pray". When I say that, he always says no, he doesn't want to. He only wants ME to. But apparently Aunt Terri has a little more pull than I do. So he starts, (and I will do this phoenitically) "Pa-Tare No Stare, Que-ess in Kalees san-tifica-Tor no men tuem. Advintiat regnum tuem fiat wolen-tas tua sea cut in kalo et in terra. Panum nostrum quo dede ah-newm da nobees ho de A et de-me-tay nobees debee-tah nostrah seacut et nose de-me-tee-moose debbie torey boose nostrease en ay nose. Into Kahs in tay tah-tay onem said lee-ber-ah nose (a) mah-lo. Amen"

Terri...."WHAT WAS THAT!" Adam...."The Lord's prayer in Latin" Terri....."What about english?!" Adam...."I don't know it in english"

until next time....

God moving mountains.....

It occured to me today (when I was reminded by a friend) that I haven't blogged in ages. Unfortunately I can't think of anything funny, but God comes to my mind. In the last week, I have watched this God move mountains....I watched him save me from myself....put people in my path that don't even know me to pray for me (literally)....guard my family with a holy guarding....protect my boy on the football field while his quarterback got taken away in an ambulance (Adam is left guard)....provide a therapist from NO WHERE (and I mean NO WHERE) to help....schedule surgery, rides and help.....turn me from hopeless to hopeful in literally ONE day....clear roadways to get me places on time....provide answers and confirmed them supernaturally.....infuse me with energy and stamina to do what needed to be done.....tear down strongholds and take a heart of stone and replace it with a heart of flesh and renewed a steadfast spirit in me....and all the while keeping me smiling while you confirmed 8 ways til Sunday how much You love me.

Father God, only You could do these things and You know what else You have done for my family in the last week to confirm Your plan for us. You have provided healing, hope, strength, encouragement, peace, love and forgiveness that abounds. Father God, You are my Rock...my Great Physician....my Fortress....You are taking my hinds feet and placing them on High places. Jesus....You continue to cover me in the grace and forgiveness of Your blood....Holy Spirit....You continue to strengthem me and confirm the Father's ways to me. Father God, You are ABSOLUTELY everything to this once lost child of yours. You have shown me that You are Jehovah Shamah....Jehovah Jira....Abba....MY daddy.
