Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not unto your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.
Consider it all joy my brothers whenever you encounter various trials knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
Go into all the world and preach the gospel, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Its 2:30 in the morning. I woke up with my tooth hurting, and am trying to get it calmed down, without talking more pain killers. I think it might be working. *cheers*
But as I sit here I was contemplating my Mission Field. I forget most of the time that I'm on one. I grew up KNOWING I would be a Missionary. I believed beyond a shadow of a doubt that I would go overseas and spread the Gospel.
And then God called me to do a much less...amazing job. He called me to take on 3 children with a lot of hurts, and lot of icks in there life.
You know 98.9% of the time. I just am just mom. And I love it. And then something like yesterday happens, and I have to remember.
"You battle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against darkness in this present world."
And I along with my husband am battling for my childrens souls.
I've been told by entirely too many well meaning people that I'm fighting a battle I can't win.
There right.
I can't.
But with God.
ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.
"I can do all things through Christ who gives us strength."
Thank you Wommie for being a faithful prayer warrior for years now. I know that Down-under I truely have a friend. If you read my blog, and God puts you on my heart, remember me. I'm battling for my kids souls.
I am determined that with God's help. I will break the chain of sin in my childrens lives, and raise children who willingly choose LIFE, instead of the demons of there past.

The Lord does amazing things. I think of the 3 children my sister raised. She was and is not Christian, but God worked his miracles with the child who supposedly has the most problems. She is the one who holds down a job, is married and yes, she has a little girl (though raised basically by aunt and uncle), But Dina decisions always revolve around her husband and child. And, she is the one who is considered mentally challenged, whereas her brother and sister were not. God has two miracles there still...and He is the blessed controller of all things.

My quote lately has been "Be still and know I am the Lord". That is something I need to meditate on. I think my life has been upsetting someone in my family because I am a Christian and it's starting to provoke thoughts in themselves. I will tell more later.
Those are great verses to cling to and have hope in...
