Please pray for dear friends who have lost their brother/son to possible suicide last night.  They have lots of pain and questions and need to know the depth, width, length of God's love and forgiveness for them and their brother/son.

Tonight as I was putting 2 of my kids down for bed I had my oldest and youngest pray for my wrist as it was hurting pretty bad all weekend.  Just a moment before they prayed it hurt really bad to even put the game we were playing back up on the table and I was unable to help with a lot of the teardown at church tonight.  As we prayed together I asked for my kids to pray for my wrist.  As soon as we got done praying I decided to test it - a little pain was left but it felt better.  I checked it again by doing the same motion I had just done with picking up the game and had no pain.  I really tested by doing a few pushups and then lifting a heavy mountain bike up to a hook on the ceiling of our garage.  The fact that I am able to type this email is testimony to it as I could not do that yesterday.  Praise God!  He healed me in an instant with a simple prayer of faith.  We are believing for more as we "pray continually".  Lord, let us give thanks in all circumstances.

Stable As A Palm

As the tall palm tree stands stable in the midst of heat and cold, rain and drought, so should you be says the Lord.
For I have called you to be as the palm tree; rooted and grounded in me, and ready to face the elements at all times.
But you have wilted in the heat, because your roots were not deep in My anointing. And when the enemy came against you, the pressures were too great for you to bear. You did not maintain, but gave up in despair.

So look deep inside you for the answer, and stop looking outside of yourself. Stop looking to man and to other ministries who are flowing in My anointing. For though they may nourish you for a season, they will not be there when the drought comes. They will not be there when the storm comes, and when the heat comes. In those times of pressure and difficulty you need not despair, for I have promised that I will never leave you nor forsake you. The anointing that I have given you remains in you, and you need simply to tap into that anointing afresh to experience My power in your life once again.

As you learn to do this regularly, you will not only become stable as the palm tree, but you will also become a shelter and shade for others. And many will come to rest under the shelter of your branches. For they will know that there they can find peace and rest. And the picture that you will present to the world will be one of blessing and security, so that even when you feel inadequate in yourself, others will still come to you to receive. And instead of this being a drain on you, you will see it as a chance to flow out from within.

Glory to God!  Thank you Jesus!  Thank you Jesus!!! 

Indeed God is good and shows up where needed......Jesus is the way, the truth, and the LIFE!!!

Thank you for choosing LIFE!!! Praise His Name!!

All praise, honor, and glory be to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who was and is and is to come.  Thank you Jesus.  She couldn't go through with it.  All prayers were heard and answered.  Thanks to the power of God, the informed consent law got to my nephew's wife.  She had to hear about the fetal development of her baby and she got to see the heart beat and she couldn't do it.  We are so grateful to Jesus for the life of this baby.  We are so grateful for the work that He is doing in the hearts of my nephew and his wife.  Thank You Jesus!

Thank you Jesus for healing Daniel and giving him favor with his care, having Your hand on every part it, for Your faithfulness, goodness, Your good and faithful servants who loved and prayed for Daniel.  We were so happy last min we took Daniel to Disneyland to celebrate Your goodness Lord and Daniel's 1st Birthday.  Thank you Jesus for my preciouses! :) 

Praise the Lord!!!!!!!!! :) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God is good and He Reigns!! Praise His name

I praise you Lord for healing my Grandma.

My 93 year old grandma went to the ER monday night and was diagnosed with lots of issues, most importantly BP of 49/32 and bleeding in the brain.  The hospital staff said it was only a matter of time before she passed - minutes to a week possibly.  She was prayed for by many and the doctor was stumped at the end of the day when she was talking and eating and so he ordered an MRI.  The only thing she was on for that day was Oxygen.  No IV, no medicines.  The MRI showed no more bleeding and they decided she had suffered from a stroke the night before.  She went home yesterday and has only slight impairment in her left eye that is probably temporary.  Praise Jesus - He heals!  We are also praying for her memory to improve as she has had dimensia for awhile.

Thank you Jesus!  Thank you for praying, Tara thanks you too.

An hour of Gratitude: It takes only the highlights from a single hour in my day to confirm that I have a

lot to be grateful for.

I went to bed feeling restless irritable, and discontent. I had my reasons; I’d been misunderstood and judged by a friend.  

I have leaky kitchen sink and bathroom faucets, my garage door opener malfunctioned, I received a shut-off warning 

notice from the water company, and I have a negative balance in my checking account. The list goes on and on………....

 But I woke up this morning remembering a commitment I made to myself for the month of November: that I would 

spend one hour each day giving thanks. So, I turn the light on and my alarm clock off, and both work predictably while 

1.6 billion people around the globe live without electricity. They rely on burning wood and waste for light and heat 

(most for which adds to air pollution, one of the world’s leading causes of premature death), So I give thanks for 

electricity.

 I always check my phone messages/text messages first thing in the morning. I know it’s geeky and a little scary, 

but I love technology! Some might be stressed to be constantly connected to their phones, but I am extraordinarily 

grateful for my cell, considering that, in the developing world, a majority of people live with limited access to telephone, 

basic Internet, or even postal service. I easily scroll down the screen on my phone and note all the people I talked to 

yesterday, the one waiting voice-mail, and several new-text messages, and again I give thanks! Recently, I read about 

a study on loneliness and felt deep sadness to learn that one-fourth of those surveyed reported often having no one to 

talk to.

Next, I turn on the faucet (one of six in my home) to get a drink. For a quarter on the world’s population, a glass of clean 

water is never an option, which is why more than two million people die every tear from disease contracted simply by 

drinking water. With every sip, I give thanks!

I laced up my Nikes and step outside for a morning walk. As always, the sun is rising. I think about a quotation by a 

Scottish writer George MacDonald (a dear friend sent it via e-mail, which I read with my laser-corrected vision): 

“The world is full of resurrections. Every night that folds us up in darkness is a death, and those of you that have been 

out early, and have seen the first dawn, will know it- the day rise out of the night like a being that has burst its tomb 

and escape into life.”  I take in the beautiful sunrise and silently pray, “Thank You, God for another resurrection.”

I listen to my iPod while I exercise; its music fills me up with joy, anticipation, faith, and hope. Considering that 

approximately 15 out of every 1,000 Americans have a hearing impairment, I thank God that I can hear the words and 

melodies coming from a miraculous three-inch device that stores all my favorite songs.

When I finished exercising I entered my bathroom to get ready for the day, a memory flashed through my mind as I 

showered. I remembered growing up as a kid and taking baths with just a half pale water and a small cup made from a 

coconut shell. The water came from a mud hole dug in the yard to collect water from rainy days. I remembered the use 

of our “luxury” outhouse. This may seem unrefined to give thanks for in prayer, but it’s an avoidable non-issue for us 

only because we live in the privileged First World. Elsewhere, the lack of sanitary plumbing is one of the major causes of 

early childhood death and disease. Until this moment, I was embarrassingly unaware that much of the world’s 

population doesn’t have access to a toilet or running water.

I jump into my car (which suddenly seems to run fine, even with the mysterious leak) and drive to work. My heart 

overflows with gratitude as I savor every bite of a pumpkin bagel slathered with pecan-butter spread. I flashed back to 

the photos I saw last year of starving Haitian families making “cookies” from dirt, salt, and shortening to stave off their 

hunger pangs.

It takes only the highlights from a single hour in my day to confirm that I have a lot to be grateful for. In fact, our ability 

to read these words in a beautifully formatted and printed form confirms that we are among the 25 percent most 

affluent people in the world!!! In just one hour of reviewing my portfolio of wealth, I’m reminded that we aren’t

 prosperous because of what we have. It’s the measure of gratitude that we carry with us into this world even for 

60 minutes a day; that makes us rich!!

Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire. If you did, what would there be to look forward to?  

Be thankful when you don't know something, for it gives you the opportunity to learn.  

Be thankful for the difficult times. During those times you grow.  

Be thankful for your limitations because they give you opportunities for improvement.  

Be thankful for each new challenge because it will build your strength and character. 

Be thankful for your mistakes for they will teach you valuable lessons.  

Be thankful when you're tired and weary because it means you've made an effort.  

It's easy to be thankful for the good things. A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the 

setbacks.  

Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive.  

Find a way to be thankful for your troubles and they will become your blessings. 

Give thanks with a grateful heart this Thanksgiving and everyday!!!

Yes, Lord! I thank You for faithful parents who lead by example. Those who sow in peace shall raise a harvest of righteousness. As Natalie and Carlos continue to sow seeds of peace in their home, I thank You that You will raise a harvest of righteous children in their midst.

Thank you for your prayers.......I know, beyond the shadow of any doubt, that He has already healed me!!!!
Jesus keeps revealing Himself to me every time I allow myself to be consumed by the distractions of this world........He's alive, He's active, and He's constantly at work on our behalf.......it is finished, it is accomplished!!!! Amen and Glory to Him......

AMEN

Thank you Lord that my children are excited to spend time with you and in your word.  Watching them pray and write in their journals is one of the greatest joys in my life!  Thank you Jesus.

God has big plans for Alexander!  Thank you for your promises Lord.  You are a mighty God.  Thank you for showing your love to Alexander. Lord, I pray for continued growth and healing for your sweet little boy.
