prayer.

changes.

things.

i have been reminded over and over this week that the store houses of heaven are full to the brim. ready to be poured out on those who ask.

just waiting .

i have been reminded over and over this week that God does not force His will or His blessings upon us, He wants us and needs us to ask. (you receive not, because you ask not)

just waiting.

i have been reminded over and over this week that prayer enables heavenly beings to act on our behalf, against darkness. how many times have i had the opportunity to ask God to send angels to fight for me or another (something they love to do on God's behalf ) and failed to do so?

just waiting.

i have been reminded over and over this week that just because an answer does not come immediately does not mean that it is not on its way. the story of Daniel anyone? it took, what? three weeks for Michael to break through the heavenly battle to get to Daniel? what if Daniel had stopped praying and waiting for God to answer after one week?

just waiting.

i have been thinking about these things ( and many more) this week. i have been reminded, reaffirmed and flat out told about the importance of being faithful in prayer.

God is ready, His warriors are ready, the storehouses of heaven are ready!

if i would just seek Him. ask Him. trust Him.

now. today.

there are battles to be fought and battles to be won.

all of heaven is waiting to act. waiting to be sent. ready to answer the prayers of God's people.

just waiting

"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." Matthew 7:7

"Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you." 2 Thessalonians 3:1-2

"I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them.

Matthew 18:18-20

Prayer moves heaven and earth. Keep waiting with hope, knowing that God WILL answer.

a few favorite quotes..

"Perhaps, after all, romance did not come into one’s life with pomp and blare, like a gay knight riding down; perhaps it crept to one’s side like an old friend through quiet ways; perhaps it revealed itself in seeming prose, until some sudden shaft of illumination flung athwart its pages betrayed the rhythm and the music; perhaps . . . perhaps . . . love unfolded naturally out of a beautiful friendship, as a golden-hearted rose slipping from its green sheath."
— L.M. Montgomery

" I want to marry a man prepared to swim against the tide"
- Elizabeth Elliot

“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
- Dr. Seuss

"I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens, but just those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a string."
— L.M. Montgomery

"The fact that I am a woman does not make me a different kind of christian,But the fact that I am a christian does make me a different kind of woman."

"Maturity starts with the willingness to give oneself."

"Stay, stay at home, my heart, and rest;

Home-keeping hearts are happiest,
For those that wander they know not where
Are full of trouble and full of care;
To stay at home is best.

Weary and homesick and distressed,
They wander east, they wander west,
And are baffled and beaten and blown about
By the winds of the wilderness of doubt;
To stay at home is best.

Then stay at home, my heart, and rest;
The bird is safest in its nest;
O’er all that flutter their wings and fly
A hawk is hovering in the sky;
To stay at home is best."- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Quite frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn" -Gone With the Wind
