In the new year...

God wants to be with us and help us no matter what.

Everything God says is true.

Thankful!

I celebrated my birthday this month and I was so encouraged by the kind words of so many beloved family and friends. 

My mom made this creative card and my dad sent these beautiful flowers.

I want to express how thankful I am for everyone who is standing with me in different ways, encouraging me, and praying for me in this time of chronic head pain.

I pray that God may bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.

II Corinthians 9:8

Scattering seed

We scatter, but God brings the harvest...

God's Reminders

During the month of September, Pepperdine University commemorates the lives lost on September 11 with nearly 3,000 flags. 

There is a flag for each US citizen victim, and the national flag for each foreign country that lost a citizen in the attack.

One Sunday morning I was feeling discouraged and I was talking to God in prayer on my way to church as I was passing by the flags at Pepperdine. 

And then I saw this flag (below) right near the front easily seen from the highway. I quickly made a U-turn and got out of the car to check if I had really seen what I thought I had. 

The flag of Mozambique

I thought not only about the lives lost, but I was reminded of God's loving plans for our hurting world, including the country of Mozambique. 

Praying

Pray for the people of Afghanistan and Haiti. 

The Luke 10:2 alarm

"Prayer is not something we do when we can't do anything else. Prayer is something we do when we recognize that God can do more than we ever could." (Jacqui Shatto - OMS World Intercessors) 

"The Harvest truly is great, but the workers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest." (Luke 10:2)

"The disciples were not asked to advertise or offer added incentives to recruit more missionaries. They were instructed to pray earnestly to the Lord." (Jacqui Shatto)

My missionary organization, OMS, shared an idea that I have been doing ever since I heard it. I have the alarm set on my phone for 10:02am each day to remind me to pray what Jesus tells us in Luke 10:2.

Will you join me, and all those in any time zone, at 10:02am who are praying daily for God to send out workers into His great harvest, everywhere and anywhere in the world??
