LOOK WHAT THE LORD HAS DONE

It is most definitely a suddenly season!! i want to fill you in on what the Lord is doing in my life. There are big things happening!! i have been home for 3 and 1/2 days and he is clearing a path for me to Florida. There is much work to be done there and constant outreach. i would be working with Raven Ministries International. When i left Florida late Sunday i continued to press into the Lord to hear His voice. i have stayed in prayer and attentive since i left. i was pretty tired Monday, i arrived at midnight and caught a 12:30am shuttle from SFO to Rohnert Park and took my car straight to work.

Tuesday, at work, i felt the Lord saying, "just check." All i could think of was, check the 4 Home Depot stores in the Daytona Beach area. Melanie and i had looked them up one day at her house. So, i checked. One store answered the call and had an opening for my exact position that they want filled yesterday!! Wow. Ok, this is wild. i sat on this a day.

Wednesday, i told my family. This went better than i thought it would. My sister was supportive to what i felt was God's call to be obedient, my mom seemed calm and Myles, well Myles and i talked about setting him up with a cel phone, camera and e-mail to stay in touch anytime he wants, plus summer visits for as long as he wants. i think i was more emotional. He pointed out that i would miss his birthday and i said we would celebrate it in the summer in Daytona. He will be 10, double digits he says. Those of you that know me, know that i moved up here when Myles was almost three to help raise him. He is the son i never had and we have a special bond. A big part of my prayer has been for God to help me give Myles over into His hands, His care. To really trust that God is in control of everything. This was big for me. Attachment to family has been a lifelong pattern, as well as my money issues. But God is bigger than any problem we can think up or conceive. Praise God that He is God and i am not. When i am faithful in the small things, He trusts me with more. Step by step amen. He is merciful and faithful. Amen.

Earlier the same day i talked to Gina, Pam and Lori Gonzalez and Pastor Mike and Pam Gandy. Get this, Mike and Pam have an RV they want to give me. This is another prayer answered. A prayer i had prayed a time ago but was not in the forefront this day. God answers prayer, in His time, in His way. Amen. i am in awe of the grace and love of our God and how awesome He is. i can see a RAVEN'd out RV with the RAVEN Jeep in tow, crossing the Nation!!!! Alleluia...

When you say you are praying on moving, well meaning and loving people start to go into the planning stage. Bless their hearts. i am not quite in that stage yet. i am still prayerfully awaiting God's confirmation on the job front. It is not in stone yet. i am expectant and joyful, taking it as God gives it to me. i am finding, when God moves, He takes care of everything. i have my part and He makes that clear. When i know my full part, i will let you all know. i just need prayer right now, and maybe a truck to help clear out my storage soon. Thank you all for your love and support. i am so grateful for each of you.

Today, Thursday, when i was at work, i called the rest of the stores on the list. One has no opening, and one will have an opening in my job in about 30 days. Tomorrow morning the paperwork will be faxed from my store to the two stores that have the jobs. i will need to do a phone interview and then we will see. Please pray.

In all this i do not want to get ahead of God. i want to be attentive to His leading, to His voice. i was planning to do certain things when i returned home from Florida, because of Gods word that penetrated my heart. i will be emptying out and selling my belongings in storage, a task that is long overdue. Right now, i ask for your prayers that God's good and perfect will be done in my life. i felt you should know what is happening. i truly love you all, my brothers and sisters in Christ, young and old, every one. i am devoted to our God and to serve Him without compromise, without counting the cost, wherever He leads. Obedient to His call no matter what. It seems it is Florida right now and i will go.

A side note. At the same time yesterday that i was calling my sister to tell her what was going on, she had some news for me. It was not good news, the kind Satan uses to sway my heart, and shake me up. She and Myles need your prayers too. She hurt her back last weekend and is also going through some tough family time now. i will release more info when she says it is OK. The Lord is faithful and good, He took me through the initial emotional reaction back to His presence and His word for me. i love our God so much. He is right there with me every moment and keeping me looking to Him. Amen.

Also thanks to those who have been praying with me since i was prompted to ask you. It means a lot to me.

Right now this is what is going on. i will let you know when i have definite plans in place for any part of it. i love you all. God bless you all.

This i know to be God's truth:

"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and he shall direct thy paths." Proverbs 3:5-6


Amen and Amen... Alleluia....
