Mel Mel: hot water at the LM?

**HUGS** Kimber  You didn't save him; that's God's job.  Prayer does a much better job than stress and worry.

Little Bean: *peek-a-boo* 

Roscoe: Don't give up, dude!

WC...  *shaking my  head*

Melodya, was it a bit of a shock to be ministered to by a new convert? ...But then... I just realized God sent me this beautiful friend, and that He speaks through anyone that belongs to Him.

I have a friend just like that too!  She's a joy to my life! 

Well, yes and no.  Somehow, I'm so dense that I'm so often in awe of how good God is and how He reminds me of it with kindness.  I have found a great deal of sweetness in new converts that truly have the faith of a child.

But this time, this is my sister.  Who I have been speaking into for years, and specifically for the last 2 years.  Actually, I cannot even type this without weeping.  See, I have been talking her through hangovers, quitting smoking, military experiences no female should have to face, things that defile a woman's very core.  She has been open with me about some things and I have interceded for her in more.  She came to visit and I got to worship next to her as God filled her with the Holy Ghost.  We have countless Bible studies over the phone while she has been stationed across the world.  I have got to be a part of her life, mostly by phone, as she's gotten married, committed to Christ and a GOOD church, developed healthy Apostolic relationships with peers and mentors, and is becoming quite the soul winner, and now expecting her first baby.  I've invested so much into my sister that at times it left me realizing how great my own lack it is and I follow with prayers of "Oh God, let her take the good things from you from that conversation and not the carnal/ignorant things I said." 

But today, today my sister spoke exactly in the Holy Ghost.  It might as well have been a preacher.  It might as well have been my pastor.  She was anointed.  She was speaking a truth, and speaking it to me and neither her nor I knew how timely and spiritual it was until it was said.  I've been praying some things, like we all do, and out of the mouths of babies... I say she is a new convert but today she was an anointed woman of God speaking into my life.  And I can't help but be utterly overwhelmed at the goodness of God.  Both to me and to be able to watch GOD grow a life in Him.  She has her own walk, she hears from God herself.  Yesterday I would have told you that nothing could bless me more than to know she has got it for herself. That she has more than me to lean on. And today, WHAM.  Jesus just outdid Himself.  I feel humbled.  I feel like I just watched God increase her. 

See, no doubt from the very "beginning" I felt like the Lord was going to make her into something far "greater" than me.  There's no question the ministry she is being groomed for exceeds and expands beyond what I can ever do.  Not because I'm selling myself short.  No, not one bit, I just see a glimpse of the gifts and elevation God has for her and eventually her husband I believe, when he chooses to try Jesus.  And it is a beautiful thing to behold.  I'm in awe.

All is better.

It's amazing how a few hours with Granny and being AWAY from my parents can change my whole day.

I need a vacation soon!

Loved the whole post, but these two statements are my favorite things I've seen today.

MelB - It's sometimes amazing how just escaping the rat race for a while can help your outlook.

BTW, APRIL...I wish it was me y'all met today! But maybe another time!

Glad to see Chel was back in MS today!

Maybe when she gets home for awhile, she can tally up the number of GPers she visited this go around. Haha.

[The Purple Fuzzy]

Thanks for the bread and candy, Isaac.

Melody were you and Kimber on this trip??
That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

Glad you enjoyed the bread, but... candy?  Chel brought me a couple of chocolate bars, but I don't recall giving her any candy.  Did Grandma whip up a quick batch of peanut butter fudge while I wasn't looking? 

Protip:  Slice the bread about half an inch thick, sop in egg/milk mixture and fry as french toast.  Very good with some real butter and real maple syrup.

And Mel and the FL gals were on this trip weren't they?

[Chseeads]

Brannon too.

[taco_harvell]

Could use some prayers today. Bad night no sleep. I feel like a zombie. Headed to work soon.

[MelodyB]

And Seth.
Not to mention Don and CR.
She didn't get to see Kimber. Just me.

[Heather]

My debit card number has been stolen and been used in Philadelphia. Oh and I'm having bad reactions from pre-cancerous happening in places unmentionable. My mom wants me out of her house and my boss wanted to fire me. Life's peachy.......

[Roscoe]

Ugh. Woke up late. VERY late. Still managed to make it to work on time, thanks to an absence of troopers.. If I'd drove the Corvette, I'd have been early, not just on time.

Now I am fixing to start work..... Thank God for Dr Pepper.

Sorry for everyone's issues......

*HUGS* Heather

Ive already done a lot this morning.

Washed clothes, took dad to dialysis, went to the grocery store, came home, cleaned the kitchen, put a whole chicken on to cook in the crockpot, made pasta salad, boiled some eggs, cleaned out the fridge and re stocked the drink fridge.

Now I think I'll lay back down till time to go get dad.

[Melody]

Good morning GP. 

I am tired.  But I love my dear snoring/gasping for air- husband. 

[Chseeads]

Well, pooty.

[kkay]

Feeling a little better today but that's probably 'cause I took some medicine before coming to work.

Still super tired.

If y'all could, please pray for my bf. He's very depressed and not sleeping much. Seems like his dreams have been shattered and there's no hope for his career.

Desperate times.

[Melody]

I'll pray he finds Jesus cause that is where true hope is at.

Thanks
