You intended to harm me, but GOD intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.______Genesis 50:20>

Father God i pray tonight for your love and relationship with me to grow! Thanks for being and reaching me in your perfect way that made no sense to me until after the fact. Today was one of those days I will always remember even though i wasn't on some grand geographic adventure. I just stayed in my hometown. We started by celebrating my Dads birthday at the Colonial House Restaurant with all the family, it has been a tradition for some time and the staff and owners treat us like royalty, well family anyhow :)   It was so good to see my sister and her children there with open arms and a want of just being together. Then with full bellies it was off to church on a Saturday! The church health team put together a prayer summit of sorts. 50 plus lovers of Christ sat in a large circle praying and speaking scripture and singing and crying and laughing and loving and thinking and listening and sharing and shoe swapping and eating and hugging and praying and singing and communing and thanking and just being Gods children and brothers and sisters in Christ our Savior!!!!!!!!!! It was just what the doctor ordered. I am decided that every single SOUL on this planet has hunger, spiritual hunger, yet only a few have figured out where to eat!!! Today we were at an all you can eat buffet! Father God i pray that we will be faithful to heed your challenge and your call, to show the others where the plates and forks and cups are so they can get in line to dish up. Use me my King as you see fit and thank you for showing me the way of living in the light. This all led me back to my cabin to share homemade chili (which i chopped of my left thumb in the making) with a group of Christian men who have made a commitment to being more than just a title of Christian men. We prayed and ate and listened and studying and sang and trusted and shared and planned and dug and made decisions and prayed and gave thanks, it was a perfect ending to a perfect day. To God be the glory for He is HOLY, HOLY, HOLY!!!!  There is just something when we are alone, just men who I know inside love God and want to be good people, that is so unusual to me. I am decided that I want it to be oh so usual!!!  My chains are gone, I've been set free--- my God my Savior has ransomed me!! I don't have to live in the past, I get to remember the past and fortify my future with it. The people i choose to be around makes all the difference in my life and consequently the way I affect other lives. Thanks to a great friend who holds a piece of my heart and whose inspiration of writing has shown me the way to thought expression. JANUARY 7th 2012 out!!!
HOLY IS THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY !!!
