Isn't God Funny

I look back on my relationship with God and my friends. He is so funny. I had been absolutely petrified of my new Christian friends. I could not talk when I was with them, I felt they were so far beyond me with their relationship. I didn't feel I could ever hold up to them. My heart pounded, I just listened and I froze. Well dear God thank you for letting me share that as now I have very good and caring friends. I thank you so much. This past week we started a miracle prayer group at my church. There was a long list of people to pray for. That night when I went to bed, I slept until 1:15am. God woke me up and for some reason, I continued to pray for the people in the prayer session. When I reached one person, God told me to stop. Huh? Stop? Why? God then said "He has been healed, he needs to claim it and then move to the spiritual head of his family." Whoa! What do I do with this? The next day, I told my pastor and asked her if I should tell him. She said yes, God gave the message to you. Hummmm......so I found him and told him. I've never done that before. He smiled and said, "that is what I have been waiting to hear."
Yesterday I asked him if he had claimed it and that God asked me to keep pushing him. He said what I said had been on his mind all day long. He told me to keep pushing him until he could say yes I claim it. I am cured and my relationship with God is restored. So I guess I will do that. He is healed, he does need to take the lead in his family. I will keep reminding him. He is torn between two religions. Christianity and Christian Science. There is a real struggle there. I pray God will show him the way.

Bless Me for Mission Work

Well, today God I am asking you to bless me with the funds for two mission trips. One for me and one for a friend. I have to go serve the children from another country. I have to serve the poor. Everyone is asking me when will I go. The cost is between $4,000-$5,000 per person. I will go when God provides the money. I am asking you to provide the money. That is a lot of money.........I am not doing this as a vacation, it is hard work and long hours. I am asking for your help and support. I am thanking you for your help and support. Thank you God.

Scared Beyond Belief

For over six months, I have been absolutely scared to death. Although I had never been scared before even while speaking with Alma Powell (Colin's wife), Lee Iacocca, David Battey, Margarite Kondrake, Lois Marie Gibbs, Lynn Sherr, Eleanor Cliff, and many more important people.........I froze when it came to speaking with my most ....cherished friends. I froze when it came to speaking with my Christian friends. I could not speak up. I just sat. The skills I had become so comfortable with just did not work. I had asked God to humble me but to completely take away my voice? I finally asked my cousin and my son, what should I do? They both told me to share that information with my friends. I prayed to be normal and then went out to New Years eve dinner with my friends. I finally told them I did not know why but they made me absolutely nervous. Their response "we know" and they laughed. They weren't sure why. I never felt I could ever be as brave or religious as they were. I never felt that God could ever accept me the same as he did them. One friend was a Messianic Jew and had gone against her families religion because she was so in love with Jesus. One had walked many blocks by herself as a 5 year old child in an inner city to reach the place that people talked about Jesus although her family did not attend and one was an attorney that had given up her career to become my pastor. I knew Jesus did not judge these things but I knew I was just a person, nothing more. So...........where does this take me?

I have asked God to keep me humble but to let me share. I sent them all a letter explaining me and I sent my first email..........inviting one of them to a monthly lunch at a certain place, a certain time and then added how assertive it was. I got back a response that "yes it was assertive and that I was cute" Cute? I guess I will accept Cute.
