Our God is Awesome

God has been faithful!

I am not one to post much about my life, but it has been along time, since I last posted and feel I need to explain.

First, yes, Mari and I are still prayer walking and we will be teaching on prayer - walking April 1, a followup for Women's Journey of Faith, in Saskatoon.

In December I posted that I had returned to work at the end of November. It was a lean time, and I knew in my heart my family needed me to do something. First, I prayed, prayed some more, then I found a part-time job at M&M Meats for the Christmas season, it was a good way to go back to work. The owner and staff were sweet, and great to work with.

But, God had better plans.

I do like God's way much better and it has bought joy to my heart.

Around December 15, I recieved a call asking me if I would be interested in working at a local care home as an activities director. Well, I have been working at this awesome God job for exactly a month and am loving every moment that I am at the home. Most of the resisdents are between the ages of 85 and 97 years old and have some form of dementia. I leave the care home feeling very loved and that God used me to show love. Amazing. No I am not working at M&M meats, it was hard to leave, but I know I am doing God's will at this time.

Taking on a new role at BSF as children's supervisor January 11, has taken me to new places of being a servant for God. I am learning to be diciplined, obedient, without grumbling and complaining, and letting God work joy into my heart. I love working with the young children and the seniors. I have been given the best of two worlds.

Well, the blessings do not stop here.

God has granted an opportinuity to be involved in a church based program to earn a certifiate in ministry. I am still in shock with all of these new blessings. I am to start this week and have all my texts and all the little details are falling into place.

During this time of blessings mixed with leanness, God is teaching me not to fear, but lean hard and trust Him. I have claimed a verse from Proverbs 31:25 (NLT), “She is clothed with strength and dignity, and laughs with no fear of the future.” No matter how dark the circumstances might seem or how wonderful, I will laugh with no fear of the future, because God is faithful.

Mari and I froze on Friday as we walked the Churchhill area, but God blessed us with a powerful time of intercession. I will try...to be more diciplined with posting prayer thoughts.

Good night...

Tomorrow starts my weekly three day marathon of BSF, carehome, and prayer...

Open Wide Your Heart

I really do not have time to write on my blog today, but writing is important and so is the blogging community in which I belong. Over the last few month’s I have been slowly going through Henri Nouwen’s book, Home Tonight , this book is a guide to finding our spiritual home in Christ. In the third chapter, a quote from Oriah’s book, The Invitation , inspired me to write. Her genre or label is under spiritual teachings, which could mean anything that goes (new age), but from a Christian view point her poem touched my heart and has lead me into deep reflection of what I ache for in my life. It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing. Oriah I have the same convictions in my daily life when I am around people. I long to hear what they are passionate about, what they long for in their life, and what core ache goes unmet. When I am visiting my friends who are retired the topic of what they

Thoughts from Philippians 1:3-11

Blogger is losing my words today! It is good to be back into routine, however it was good to get away from the daily demands. I am posting a few points from the sermon I will be giving tomorrow night at a seniors service in my community. The title of my sermon is "Thanksgiving and Prayer"--It is Thanksgiving on Monday here in Canada. Philippians 1:3-5 Point One: Paul viewed the past with a thankful heart to God. In this passage, Paul demonstrates how to view the past by having a thankful heart towards God for all that he has been given. He was able to be content because when he looked at the past he did so with a thankful heart. He recognized that in Christ he was able to do all things and the key was to be thankful for God’s direction and the encouragement he received from other believers. Philippians 1:6-8 Point Two: Paul viewed the present with confidence in what God is doing. As Paul remembers and thinks about the Christians in Philippi, he was flooded with emotio

The six "I will" statements from Psalm 118

Image
1. vs 6 "I will not be afraid." 2. vs 7 "I will look in triumph on my enemies." 3. vs 17 "I will not die but live." 4. vs 17 "I will proclaim what the Lord has done." 5. vs 19 "I will enter and give thanks to the Lord." 6. vs 21 "I will give Him thanks." When a spiritual battle is raging around us, we need to remember who is with us. We need to keep our eyes focused on Christ. God is always with us, he is our helper when conflict and spiritual warfare is upon us. When we are steadfast in our faith, and focused completely on Jesus we will be able to say as the Psalmist has written, "I will..." In the name of the Lord, we will have victory over our enemies in this world, as we remember to say "I will..." With Love Robin Be sure to check out the inspirational writings at Spiritual Sundays . Thanks to Ginger and Charlotte for hosting this site and encouraging us today to seek the Lord.
