in the news

wow, what is god up to? today in the reminder on the first page i believe as i left the article at church, and have yet to read the entire article, was a story on feeding the needy in the community, and how if each of us did our part there was enough food so noone would go hungry. karen troiano from human services was being interviewed after a board meeting of the churches in the community and she said some were doing that very thing. she said human services had a food distibution, safe net had an emegency food outreach and the new partner on board helping was stafford community worship center, i thought wow, approx. 11 weeeks in and we are already being recognized for our outreach. praise god. we got a call for a large donation of clothing, so ron will be picking that up tommorrow and we will be praying where it is going. feed the hungry, clothe the naked, provide the poor wanderer with shelter. i feel god will fulfill this whole passage of scripture. praise god and to him be all the glory.

god is faithful

wow today i went to help eunice and rose pack boxes for children for samaitans purse, we got to wrap them for christmas and fill 10 boxes for boys and girls for christmas. praise god. there were about eight of us there. it was nice. as i was leaving one of the ladies came up and gave me a large check for food pantry. the largest single donation to date. i have been praying for god to give me a lump sum to get some things out of the way that we always need, so im not going out each week for every thing. man he answers fast. so today i got to go and get laundry soap, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, conditioner, trash bags, dish soap, toiletpaper, meats, and more enough for at least three weeks, maybe more. praise god....................god is moving and i am excited, i feel tomorrow at service he is going to show up in a big way, and wouldnt you know it, all three of my children will be there. god is awesome. praise truly does await him in zion.

perry stone

i am in the process of listening to a 2 cd set from perry stone on ''enemies in your own house'' i bought it a couple years ago and am just now listening. must be time. it explains how brother will come against brother etc. how judas betrayed jesus, and jesus called him familiar friend. telling us this will happen, we will be persecuted by those close to us for christs sake. and how we are to deal with it. we are to do as christ did and love. it also teaches on the great men of faith in the bible listed in hebrews, like david, samuel, abraham, noah and more and how they had persecution in their own house and how today their families would be called disfunctional. and how they also had sin, but god has them listed for their faith and how god only remembers the faith we have here, and the things done for him. i thought wow all the great men of faith were a little disfunctional, wooh.........................made me breathe a little easier. thank you jesus,

psalm 6811-14

the lord gave the word, great was the company of those who proclaimed it. kings of armies flee, they flee, and she who remains at home divides the spoils. though you lie down among the sheepfolds, you will be like the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold. when the almighty scattered kings in it. it was as white as snow in zalmon. i cant even say how many times the lord has given me this word, and i would read it and read it and say ''what are you saying, lord? many times he has led me to it, and this morning as i was in the shower i was going over our bible verse for our weigh down class, which was seek ye first the kingdom of god, and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto to you. i thought how easy i know this. i live by it every day, believing if i do things gods way as best as i can and as HE leads, i will have all i need. nothing missing, nothing broken.

dunny cause i felt he was reminding me of psalm 68 and then i got revelation. even though i go thru so much in my personal life and with others of the faith, god is going to always show up in a powerful glorious way thru me. the rest of the verse reads ''a mountain of god is the mountain of basham, a mountain of many peaks is the mountain of basham. why do you fume with envy, you mountains of many peaks? this is the mountain which god desires to dwell in, yes the lord will dwell in it forever. sometimes i get upset cause i am out of one battle into another but as i press thru, god shows up in such a way all see his glory. and god always causes me to truimph in christ jesus. god is awesome.......two victories in jirdans life this week already, i cannot believe the hand of god, when god acts, who can reverse it? NOONE, praise god

and these signs shall follow those that believe

wow, service was amazing today. another food pantry recipient in the pews. praise god to him be all the glory.pastor graves preached, god moving in power, and these signs shall follow those that believe. he said he hasnt been able to preach the sermon he has prepared in quite awhile. praise god. he said the agenda was not his, is was not ours, it was jesus's praise god...............and the holy spirit moved in power and hit some on that alter like fire. god reminded me of the vision he gave me and elva approx five years ago. the alter being filled, people set free, delivered, healed and the masses coming in. i felt he was saying today was the start of that get ready. wooh.... then pastor graves said someone has a word, and noone spoke and i wondered if i was supposed to have given that word, but i will never speak till i am sure. i know i heard it, but i didnt know whether that was to be given, i wanted to give someone else a chance. forgive me lord, if i messed up. sometimes i feel i get used so much i dont want to be a hog. i know that is gods decision and next time i will speak up. never had any body make an open invitation to speak, usually it was like shut up susan. well anyways god is soooooo good and i as always stand in awe of him. and food pantry was filled to overflowing and we will be going out ministering jesus's love in a real tangible way. i am humbled to be a part of this gracious move of god. thank you jesus

the walls are being finished

wow havent blogged alot lately, working, food pantry, prayer ministry, my life are all busy. but nice busy. gods hand is totally open to ministry right now, and the freedom to move is liberating. i felt led to read nehemiah, and they were building the wall, and this made some angry, but this did not stop them for god was with them. our walls are being built, the way god wants them. the holy spirit is free to lead, guide, direct. center stage jesus...............................i love this. we are growing in unity and its wonderful to watch who god is using..........i just stand in awe of my faithful father. still no pastor, but we still have pastor graves for such a time as this. praise god. i fell we are being positioned in our plaes and will be in full battle gear equipped and ready to man our stations when god brings him. evrything will flow easy this time, exactly the way god wants. praise god.

song of solomon

the flowers appear on the earth, the time of singing has come. and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.the fig tree puts forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grapes, give a good smell.rise up my love, my fair one, and come away. oh how i love song of solomon. i was asking god to bring me to where to read and here i was, and i thought about how many times god has brought me here and when those times have been. they have been at my closest times with him and definetely when i am out and walking in the love of jesus ministering to others. i always chuckle when i read some of the words and sometimes even blush at the thought of the words that are being spoken. i know there are so many interpretations to what god is saying here and i have asked him more times to explain this book to me than any other. i think and i may be wrong but looking back at the times when he has brought me here, i believe he is saying he is pleased. it is wonderful to him when we are obedient and walking in love and extending the hand of god to others.''awake oh north wind, and come oh south, blow upon my garden, that its spices may flow out. let my beloved come to his garden, and eat its pleasant fruits.'' today was a great day at service although i did get an unpleasant interuption, god is good all the time, anyways. i thought what a mystery that peace that passes all understanding was, even when everything is falling around you, the holy spirit comes and gives you jesus's peace. and your glad, and you look at the situation and you should be crying but you cant, cause over you comes that sweet peace and all you can do in the midst of all the turmoil is praise god. we had an interim, interim pastor today and the message was simple but awesome. she said the love she feels in this church and the presence of god as we were praying at the alter for each other was beautiful. and we had new food pantry recipients in the pews. praise god.............................we also had a wonderful array of desserts as we were celebrating byron's 50th birthday. not so good for our weigh down, but i did go easy. praise god........... we did our deliveries and yesterday, miss rose who is now getting to be a cherished friend called me and said come on lets go out. she had filled the back of her car with pumpkins and we went out and let each child reprsented in food pantry outreach and others pick a pumpkin, the kids were thrilled...... what a way to get to talk to the parents and we did. it was nice.the waters are troubled and we are belly flopping in. praise god..................

our class

last nite was our weight class, well lifestyle change class. there were about twelve of us and four new women. one was my mom. i asked her to join and she said yes. praise god............rose did an awesome job as our leader as always. god is really using her, she has been such a blessing to me, such an encouragement with the food pantry ministry. such an encouragement all the way around. she leads by example and how important that is to me. its been a little different having jirdan and laura now both home, but i just know that i know this is orchestrated by god for this time.over the year jordan had come and spent alot of time in between his job, painting our downstairs and helping paul with the hardwood floors, the house looks totally different now. i said now you can start upstairs, im bad, ha? he said i am different now as he has not lived home in three years, different because he is older, i am more settled and i expect alot out of him. those things i may have overlooked i dont overlook now.

pray for me that all my words are from god and not my own mind, i need wisdom. but god is not a respector of persons, he gives wisdom to all who ask.................i know in my heart this is a mending time, he is coming out of a four year relationship and i know he is hurting, but this is necessary. .wow im am focused, praise god. starting to think again on what i am eating and drinking way more water, as that was one of our discussions. choices, choices, choices. lifw is all about choices, and i have made some dumb ones in the past. thank god for grace.praying alot in the spirit as i know not what to pray but prayer is a neccesity for all of us.we may be making a choice soon on a pastor. gods will. i like pastor graves but i am open to gods leading here. things are good in the church body, praise god to be able to say that. house has been cleaned and its all good..............the worship team has even chamged and marc mesereau is now the leader. thank god for john;s gift of teaching in that ministry. all glory to god........prayer meetings will be once a month at different house and i am looking forward to that as prayer is vital. hallelulah...........

error

THE WORD IS THE WRATH OF MAN WORKETH NOT THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD..............................

new word

''THE WRATH OF GOD WORKETH NOT THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD''new word for me, sometimes i will hear a word from god that i dont remember hearing before and it will stick with me and catch my atention and i feel the holy spirit reminds me of it so i can recite it over and over till out of my belly shall flow issues of living water i thought, well, what is this word really saying? i feel our anger in a situation does not help anything. maybe thats why gods word says love covers a multitude of sin. maybe this is why the penal system has failed so badly. how does god really feel on the death penalty? if this word is wriiten.i come to the conclusion that we should always try love, hope, forgiveness, prayer, i dont have all the answers but i know i got it for a reason.

whirlwind

wow what a whirlwind of a week...............but oh the faithfullness of god. our weight class brought in two members of the community, praise god, rose is having us write down everything we eat, oh man do i pick alot at everything. just the thought of being accountable to everything i put in my mouth.that rose is a wise girl, im getting to know her more and more, and i can truly say i love her. we are so different in our ways but i see where we complement each other, i can draw on her strengths, which are definetely not mine, and she can even draw on some of mine.god is working on alicia, it amazes me what he is doing with no help from me. i mean im not stressing about it. she said last week ma, i got to go out to the car, it was during worship and i said why? she said cause my tide is in the car. i said what and she said her tide, i chuckled cause it was so cute, i did tell her it is your tithe. all the years of example and mentioning it to them, wow......................now she is excited in giving to god. god is amazing. jordan is now at home. miracle, but i am trusting god to really reach him now.that is a miracle too. just for paul to say yes, it wont be for a long time, but god has plans for this boy and always has, and wooh.................laura is finding her way, out and about and feeling so much better in her skin. god is so good........still not where we need to be, but thank god not where we were. a work in progress. i keep thinking about pastor graves message and not knocking him at all i understand what he meant. when we get saved sometimes there isnt an instant change, i was not an instant change. god walked out every single thing with me, i was a hard one, cause i need to know why and in walking it out, you sure do learn alot, as painful as it can be,.and you sure dont forget it he spent more time in the beginning on perfecting my love walk than anything. giving, turning the other cheek, forgiving etc. which meant i had to give when it hurt, love when i didnt want to, forgive when i didnt feel they deserved it, and trust when it wasnt fair. at least i didnt think it was. gods ways are higher, so much higher. he is god and i am just susan..........wow we will be going out tommorow for food pantry and rose and amy on friday and eunice and lynn on monday. this week each team had their own family picked. praise god. and the provision this week. awesome.....god is breathtaking. you the man jesus...................
