Completion and new adventures...

My prayer:

My God, your an awesome God you reign from heaven above! 

You promised you would take care of it all and you did. You promised that you would take care of me and you did. You fulfilled every promise and I am so grateful!!!! 

God I am soaring. Tonight was amazing. You were amazing. I am exhausted but need to hear your voice before I rest. I LOVE YOU!!!!!

What God Said Tonight:

I love you. I am yours forever. I loved seeing you tonight and the joy of you watching it all come together. 

We will have many more times like this together. I have big plans. 

Go rest now and we will start a new adventure tomorrow...

God's spectator...

My prayer:

WOW! When you said you would take care of everything, you REALLY MEANT it! Down to the last detail. I feel almost guilty that I am not working like crazy in the last hours to see this thing done, but you have already taken care of everything. I kind of feel like a spectator in this whole thing instead of the coordinator. THIS IS COOL!!!

As I think about it, you have shown me over and over, when I relax in your will for my life, it is always easy. Not to say things don't go wrong. They do, but if I breathe and trust you, you always show me the solution or just take care of it yourself. 

This has been a whole new level of understanding of this for me. I want to remember this for a very long time. 

Can't wait to celebrate the conclusion of this event with you tomorrow God! ALL GLORY AND HONOR TO YOU!!!!

What God Said Tonight:

I will seal this on your heart and mind because you will need in the future, a lot. 

I have many big challenges for you. I have many big things for you to do in your life. If you are to see them all accomplished, you will need to remember this time. You will have to remember that the faith walk, the trust in me to take care of the things that I start, will over come every obstacle. 

I will bring you the people you need. I will give you the favor you need. I will give you everything you need to accomplish everything that I have assigned to you. It is only fair that I do so. 

I love you. I am with you. I will never leave you. I am yours and you are mine forever.

Two days...

My prayer:

Today was one long series of problems that needed to be fixed. I am mentally and emotionally exhausted God. 

I pray for your rest and rejuvenation tonight. I will need to be sharp tomorrow and Saturday. I will need to hear your voice and be able to follow what you have for me to do. I don't want to let the ministry down and I don't want to let you down. 

Thank you for being my ever present help. Thank you for giving me wisdom and understanding. Thank you for giving me peace in the middle of the storm. 

I can't imagine and don't want to imagine life without you God. I need you so much, I love you so much.

What God Said Tonight:

I am here and have never left you. I am your rock. I am with you for this event and I will see it prosper. I will see you prosper. 

I know I have told you this before but it seems like you need to hear it again tonight. I love you. I will strengthen you. I will give you wisdom and knowledge that is not yours. 

I will. It is my will that you are doing this thing and I will see it complete. Keep your eyes on me and I will give you all that you need. 

Two days is no time at all. Two days can be a lifetime. Rest in complete assurance that I have you and I have this.

Everything working out...

My prayer:

It really is all coming together! You really are working it all out! Yeah GOD!!! 

I mean, I was pretty sure that you would but to see it all come together from relative chaos and then turn into everything falling into place like we planned it that way...that is pretty cool stuff! 

Thank you for showing me once again that you take care of me, you bless me and that you never lead me into anything that you are not prepared to walk me through and see me succeed.

Just a couple more days and I get to see you complete this thing God. THANK YOU!!!

What God Said Tonight:

I can't wait to see your face when this is done. 

I know that you have questioned why I wanted you to take this challenge on. I know you have wondered what purpose I have had in it. I have a purpose and it is simply to show you that even when I ask you to do something outside of your natural skill set, even when everything you try to do to make it work fails, I will still show up and make you successful. 

I want you to know that you can count on me for everything and I will never let you down. I want you to know that although I gave you great gifts and I love that you use those gifts for me, that there are times when I will need you to show up, just because no one else will. In those times, you can always trust me to work it all out. 

I will give you everything you need for every assignment I give you. You are one of my go to children because I know you will say "yes." I want to show you that your "yes" is good and I will always come through for you. 

I love you.

Gems embedded in the mess...

My prayer:

Well God, today was not really a better day but I managed a better attitude so it seemed better. I guess that is progress! 

I don't know what to talk about tonight. I really just have my head down in survival mode this week. 

I am VERY grateful that I don't have to face this week alone. I am VERY grateful that you are in this with me. I am VERY grateful for you God!

What God Said Tonight:

I see things differently than you do. You see a week that seems like a mountain of difficulties. I see a week full of millions of opportunities to show off what living life with me in it is like. You see the trouble, I see the victory. You see the complication, I see the solution. 

While my thoughts are not your thoughts and my ways not your ways, if you can, think on this week with the mind of Christ and you will recognize it for what it is. 

You will never have the opportunities that you will have this week, ever again. It is a unique time. 

Don't miss out on the gems embedded in the mess. When you are mining for gems, diamonds, emeralds, anything, you most often do not recognize them unless you know what you are looking for. They do not show their value initially. It isn't until you pick them up, polish, cut, and clean them before you see their true beauty. 

But, if you are looking for them and know what they look like, even when they are covered in dirt, you can find them, pull them out and polish them to a high shine with great value. 

Don't miss your gems.Love you!

Bad day...

My prayer:

Mighty God. I am not sure what to say tonight. One of the very best things about today is that it is over. Thanks for getting me through it. I pray God that you give me rest and rejuvenate me tonight so I can handle tomorrow better than I handled today.

What God Said Tonight:

It was a bad day, mostly. But try and count the blessings of the day and I guarantee you will find more than you thought there were. 

I protected you from the storm this morning, didn't I? I gave you an opportunity to solve a problem that you have been worried about, didn't I? 

Don't forget to be thankful even in the middle of  a bad day. That thankfulness can often be the key to turning a bad day to good. Your attitude, your viewpoint and perspective are more related to your experience of life than you may ever realize. 

Cut loose and set sail to a new island, a new land where yo will find people living out their destinies in joy and wonder. I am taking you there. 

Tumbleweeds...

My prayer:

What an amazing weekend of miracles God! Your healing power is mind blowing and I LOVE that you let me be a part of it. 

It is so fun to watch peoples' faces when they realize that they really are healed! There is this combination of shock, awe, joy, and amazement that is one of the most beautiful sights in the world.

I hope I never lose the awe of it. I think it is great that I have come to expect it. I would love to find that level of faith in other areas of my life where I simply expect your promises because I have seen you come through so many times in so many situations. But, I don't ever want to lose the wonder and the joy of seeing you do the miraculous. 

God, as I go into this week, I pray for wisdom and peace. There are a lot of challenges I know about this week and probably a lot more that I don't know about. I need you help in everything that I do and everything I encounter. Thank you for always being there for me. 

What God Said Tonight:

There are brambles, tumbleweeds that are growing up in your life right now. They are distractions and they are trying to obscure the path that you are on. Don't look at the weeds, stay focused on the destination. 

The path is still there even when you can't see it. Keep your eyes up and focused on me and I will make sure that the brambles don't trip you up. 

I will guide you always. 

This week is not as difficult as you think. I have prepared you for this. It is important, but it is only one more step in a path you have been traveling with me for years. I will see you succeed in all that you do. I will bless the work of your hands and I will love you always. 

Believe that.
