I Do Indeed Have A Father

I know what a funny title since there is not any snow on the ground or in sight. I was just sitting here thinking that sometimes I get in places of feeling gloomy. So I had the thought of our winters, sun is not out as much, no flowers to look at. Well, the same with our situations, sometimes we have fun, very busy to slow and sometimes just waiting for the next thing to do. It amazes me to think of our seasons, of how in God's creation he created them and they come to praise Him all year round, waiting His coming. I mean, just think of our trees of how they change season to season, buds and flowers in the Spring, green leaves in the summer, colorful leaves in the fall and then bare trees in the winter. Anyway being thankful and seeing the sun on a cloudy day takes effort. Thank you Father for always being near no matter the season. The other day I found myself in a great funk.I said something,after I spoke I felt so stupid, hope one day I will get passed that or at ...

Today we had an awesome Gathering. God comes in such miraculous ways. Today He came in the form of Nora who opened the gates to freedom of worship and praise. The freedom was amazing. So often having chains around our neck can mean our fear of what we would like, if it looks crazy or basically we are just too aware of ourself instead of aware of God. I hope this is not too bold of a statement to say but the freedom that was in the midst of us today, the gates of hell could not prevail against it. I had a picture in my mind today when John and Chloe sang their song. Mercy Has Saved Us, I think . I pictured how it is so amazing how sometimes we can be freed by one thing and other things fall off as well. I pictured people with their arms linked as like bound in chains, God comes and frees some of us one link at a time, since of course we don't know how deep or strong the hold is. I pictured a dance using the linking and unlinking of peoples arms. But part of me knows I am not a da...

Last week I started thinking about Brent. He has for sure made it rough by his decisions he has made in his time so far. He called last week and we talked for awhile. He was telling me how people wont hire him cause of his record and history. He was getting pretty aspirated. Thoughts about how many homeless people there is, rather it is their fault or not. Thinking about even us: homeless is not just not having four walls and a roof over our head for sure, but it is not to have a place to make mistakes and still be loved, not to know that God really loves you rather than just words. Anyway, I felt like Abraham one day when I went before God and telling him that if there is just one small desire in Brent to really earn his money honestly, bless it. Well I got a call the other day and was told he got a job working for a week, for $60 a day. He was excited. I was excited, I told him I prayed and others are praying for him also. Not just for money of course. Anyway, I believe Our Fa...
