Sorry to hear about your mom. You & she are in my prayers!

Due to this incident, my husband was upset & told me to lie low or resigned from what I was doing, but I was hesitant. God is good, He was the One who made a way. He blessed us with a new house to another city. Our family transferred to a new home & also to a new church. My heart’s desire is to serve the Lord but hesitant to join in any ministry. The Lord lead me to start a bible study in our company. After 5 years I resigned & started our own company, trading & construction. The Lord had blessed us from then on, up to present. Right now, I am serving the Lord by sharing the love & salvation of our Lord Jesus Christ to my friends & relatives via the internet & phone calls. I have joy & peace serving the Lord outside the church.

Thank you sir Mart for this topic, “Knowing the Will of God”. It confirms that I am in the will of God in my service to Him.

Thank you also to all the bloggers. Your life experiences give inspirations & encouragements.

Glory to our Lord Jesus Christ!

Maureen, Poohpity had stresses that fact time and again, we christians talking about many things, but schouldnt we go out and help the lonely, lift up the depressed, be a light, etc, in others words:
WELL DOING.

… and with all due due apologies to those who can’t stand KJV, Daisyetc.:) Quotes KJV just to maintain uniformity with the above statements emphasizing the words “well doing”…

“Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul…

…For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men…

…As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God… Fear God…

…that ye should follow His steps…Who did no sin…

…that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness…” (1 Peter 2: 11- 24)

I’m only stating what it reads in the bible and that’s God OWN words not mine.

The latest is a big praise they took out her ventilator and she is breathing on her own. She will go from ICU to hospice so we have more time with her. Her lung does have a hole in it but she looks so good. I am praising the great physician, our wonderful God. Thank you so very, very much for your prayers and support. I love you guys,whoops and gals!!

I do not want to be an ol’cronie thank you very much! :-)

Accepting God’s plan for our lives is intimately woven into accepting Salvation. I love that illustration of the tapestry.

While we are on this earth we only see the backside of the rug… with all its knots and tangles of multi-colored threads. Someday, we will see it as God sees.

Trust His Perfect Will and Almighty Power to overcome all our weaknesses. Surrender to His Will and trust as a little child.

To All:
Somewhere along the way I guess, I made the decision to follow God at all costs. Once that decision is made it is almost immediately challenged. I wish I could say I always answered the challenge correctly.

What I can say is that despite my choices God has ‘woven’ them into HIS tapestry for my life. He has proven time and again that He has the power to bring good out of my bad choices because I keep short accounts with Him. (I confess my failures regularly.)

That is truly all He asks of us. Listen for His direction and take you best shot. (Sounds a bit too easy, doesnt it!… but do does His plan of Salvation!)

I keep coming back to something Christ said to His disciples. Mk 10:15; Lk 18:17

Will continue to be praying for you and your mom!

Your faith encourages me so!
