I've Been Through Enough ~ Camden Baptist Church

Jerusalem - The Hoppers

God works in mysterious ways.

So feel like I have been in a battle, after talking with my pastor, and few friends, I realize I am not alone... devil is fighting everywhere, and he is not withholding ANYTHING... It has been a battle to get my time alone with Him, school, and life all done in one day.. It doesn't help when you add physical challenges to that.. I am spending time with the Lord, just not the quality time I want, and know HE wants from me. Revival is starting@ the Phx church this week, praying we are able to go every night, praying for so many different things and people, and want God's Spirit poured out on the church and us!! I need a good dose of The Holy Ghost's power to fall on me with fire from Heaven!! That is my plea... So I am asking myself these questions, what am I doing to pray that down? What needs to be removed from my life, or added, or set aside to see revival in my soul and in our home. The girls are feeling the same things, and have talked to us about this, what a humbling blessed thought to know your children are praying for REVIVAL in their own hearts, and want The Holy Ghost's power upon them. Oh Lord hear our cries!!  God is working and moving, I know enough about this feeling to know God is working me over again, and oh how I want that.. no does not feel good, but I do not have a "feel so" salvation... it is a "know so" and I do not want anything in me, around me, or on me, that is not pleasing to my Jesus!! So excited I heard from a few friends from the mesa church( its the Indian mission work Sis Dorthy is doing) had not heard from them in some time, and they were sharing how they have not been in church and backslid and want to be saved, so encouraged my heart to hear them say they would be in revival... please pray for them, I feel such a burden for these dear people that call me their friend...  Such a neat way the whole text conversation got started with a lady I have yet to even meet, so thus the title of this post "God works in mysterious ways"  


My mother has a procedure coming up soon, in which she will be put under anesthetics. I will be taking her and helping to care for her, please pray everything goes ok.


Have another dear friend going in TOMORROW and this is VERY VERY serious, and she desperately needs answers in concern for her health.. PLEASE PRAY with me tomorrow for this dear friend.. I know she would appreciate it. 


Have another dear friend that needs prayer,, my prayer list has grown so large it overwhelms me at times.. so many hurting people, as I am sure yours has too.. There is pain and suffering at every turn on every hand.. but we serve a PRAYER answering GOD who is in control over all!!! Bless His Holy Name!!


Also prayers for my husband this week would greatly be appreciated, he will be covering for a co-worker, and came off his normal shift, only had today off, and goes right back tomorrow to pull the whole weeks shift.. I know that may not sound hard, if you understood his work, you would better understand this request.. He has been battling SEVER asthma and allergies, which complicate and aggravate each other. But GOD is able, and will never let us down, HE always takes care of us, Praise the Lord!!


*****************************PRAISE REPORT***********************************
Kelsey has been walking without her crutches, as many of you already know, tonight she made dinner ALL BY HERSELF... She has been wanting to do that for so long, was such a joy to see her up and about.. Her knee still swells some, that is normal, she is healing.. GOD IS HEALING HER, we have SO MUCH to be thankful for!!! Thank you Jesus for your blessings on us!!


Trust everyone has a great week, praying for you all, Stand firm, Stand tall, Stand in the Lord, He is faithful and Just!!! PRAISE GOD!!

I'd Rather Have Jesus - Crabb Family

Choosing Joy!

We all have things in our lives that seem to want to "steal" our joy. Would I let someone steal from me without fighting for it? NO, so why do I let the devil steal my joy? We have MUCH to be thankful for tonight, sooooooooooo many answers to prayer, one is MAJOR, but going to let the person to whom it directly effects, share that herself :) We all share in that joy!! My heart and body are trying to do weird things on me still, yet I CHOOSE JOY, because Jesus has brought me this far, HE HAS, HE DOES, HE WILL keep giving me grace to deal. Thankful for HIS many Blessings, and the first FIVE are so so important: 1-Salvation, 2- My husband, 3-Shania, 4-Kelsey, and 5-Kaitlyn!! I so badly want to be able to do, go, handle all the things I use to do... at this point still not there... I am holding on to complete healing, and CHOOSE to enjoy the smallest of wonders in Gods creation each day. I know most of you do not know the exact detail of my "health" issue, it's ok, GOD knows and my family and I just ask for your prayers now and again as we come to mind :)

Thinking about a HERO tonight!

Thinking tonight, about one of my earthly "hero's" Sis Judy Williams. In a few hours they will celebrate her life that she left and  "graduated with honors" as Sis Mary put it. This will be a short post, will write more tomorrow night. Several thoughts that are on my mind as I type this... "KEEP THE LIGHT ON" Don't back down, don't compromise, dig my heels in where all I can do is fall forward into the arms of Jesus and let HIM lead my life. I AM SOOOOOOO excited at how God is working in our life. GOD has BIG BIG BIG things for us.. yes lil ol us.. So humbled, scared, excited, all at the same time. When all looks hopeless and in our human minds think" well I thought they were going to make a go for God, but they are not doing what I feel they should" BE CAREFUL, we are not GOD, and we do not know what HE is doing on the other side of that situation, and GOD does not go by OUR clock.. Are you not thankful for that? I sure am.. I love the Lord, HE heard my cry, He alone is worthy of my praise.. So friends, I ask that you listen to the song posted below this post and do exactly that. PRAY FOR US.. We will pray for you, and I BELIEVE with GOD in the driver seat HE will guide each one of us to GLORIFY HIS name, and further HIS Kingdom.. NOW is NOT the time to sit down in discouragement, it is time to STEP INTO THE CAUSE, NOW IS YOUR TIME. The saints are going home, Jesus said to work until He comes.. I with the help of the Lord plan and endeavor to do just that... I can not sit and not share this AMAZING life changing gift... I will burst.. I HAVE GOT TO TELL SOMEBODY JESUS SAVES.. EVEN US, THE LOOSERS that NO ONE wants anything do with.. HE CAME FOR US!!! Keep your head up, look to Jesus,... and I can tell you from experience that, the ones satan wants you to think are against you.. are FOR YOU. They love you and are praying and pulling for you.. We have MANY MANY MANY people to thank for praying.. so that brings me to the point..   I have a list we want to see GOD work and move, so I thank you for praying, keep on keeping on.. Do not change, Do not give up, We have got to work together .. now is not the time to stop and give in... GOD is worth more than any of us combined could ever give.. but isn't HE worth our efforts? ( I say we as in our family) You did not pray in vain, GOD is working, has changed us, we are not finished yet PRAISE GOD HE is still working on me!! 

Enough rambling for tonight, scattered thoughts they were, hope ya can make heads or tails out of it! Love you all, praying for you all.. Heaven is around the corner.. Lets keep praying, and KEEP THE LIGHT ON as Sis Judy admonished us to do!!

Missed church today :(

I do NOT like missing church, makes for a very very long week. Makes the day seem empty almost... However GOD is a big GOD and can meet with us wherever we are, and I am so so grateful for that.  We did watch services online today, and did learn new precepts as well as being blessed. .. SO thankful for online ministry!!  
Kelsey is to start Physical Therapy this week- if you think about her please pray for her. We are SO encouraged how God has helped her thus far and is continuing to do so, her healing is coming along very well. She will be in therapy until somewhere around July 1st- this has been a long road, yet how Blessed we are in the battles won both emotionally, physically, and spiritually. 


God is SO very good, how I want to draw closer, climb higher, learn more, and TELL whomever I can that JESUS SAVES!!! Oh what a glorious thought!

Hope you all have a wonderful start to the new week!!
  
                   Blessings to you all.
