Family Week, here we come!

Leaving for Kentucky tomorrow morning bright and early with the Morgans. Pray for safe travels and great weather all the way there and the whole time we're there! So excited!

Update on Hans

Hey. I just thought that I would share that Hans is doing much better. He is still in the hospital, but they are just monitoring him because he took in lots of water. The prayer now is that that won't cause any problems. Other than that, he is much better.
     We are STILL praying for Maurine's FULL recovery and will do so until the last minute.YHVH is not bound by death. :) I feel so sad about their family. I will definitely be praying for them.

Maureen just passed away. They took her off life support. Please pray that Abba would comfort Mike and the children through this difficult and tragic time. I'll keep you updated when I find out more about the baby. I think he's still okay, but I'm not sure.

Keep praying.

Smallwood update

We just found out from our friend Mrs. Cindy that Maureen is on life support right now. Keep praying.

Emergency Prayer Request

I know that many of you know the Smallwood family who used to live in Rulison but moved to Tennessee last fall. I don't have many details right now, but Maureen Smallwood was pregnant and had a baby boy either yesterday or earlier today. Something was wrong and her organs shut down and she died. They got her to a hospital in Nashville and recesitated her. They weren't sure if she was going to be okay, but we got a call from the Millers and she passed away earlier this evening. As far as I know the baby is still doing okay. 

For those of you who don't know the Smallwoods, they have four children: Joe, J.T, Sarah, and then the baby boy. Mike (the husband) and the children need a lot of prayer. This is a very tragic thing to have happen. 

Also, Hans Dittrich is in the hospital in Loveland because he partially drowned at  the swimming pool. I guess he's breathing now, but he's not respondimg to anything.

We need to pray against the enemy who is out to steal, kill, and destroy. With Maureen, we are praying that she would be resurrected and that if it's not the will of the Father to bring her back to life that He would send comfort to Mike and the children... Sarah is only 4 or 5... And to their family during this difficult time. I'll post more if I get more details. 

Walking in the Spirit

I know many of us went to hear Kenny Russel speak in Montrose yesterday on Shabbat. Was I the only one who was absolutely amazed and astounded at his words and who obviously needs to do something drastic? I was absolutely shocked at what I saw in myself as he was talking and praying! What I saw, quite honestly, was a little nerve racking.

I'll be perfectly honest with all of you... I can't say that I've ever heard from the Spirit and I do not know what my purpose is.

I think that is what scared me the most.

I've been sleeping. I know the importance of hearing from Yahweh, but I never heard from Him, so I kind of blew it off, telling myself that it wasn't really a big deal, that it didn't really matter.

Mistake number one.

I'll be honest with you again... This lead to me not really wanting to pray. No words ever came. It then lead to me having no desire to sit and read His Word. So I just didn't. I didn't think about praying, and I didn't read anything from the Bible.

Mistake number two.

Some of you know that I had a life changing experience one Friday night with my parents when unclean spirits left  me. For the first time in a long time I didn't feel irritated, offended, stressed, or angry for an entire day. It lasted several weeks, and I again was praying often and digging into the Word. I didn't feel discouraged until one day, I totally blew it.

After that, everything I had been doing the past several weeks was crushed. I found no joy in reading the Scripture like I usually did, and I again couldn't pray. I was irritated and angry at the smallest of things, and offended by other people's words and/or actions.

Mistake number three.

I've been like this for several weeks, now. I was still in it yesterday. All day after those teachings I couldn't stop thinking about what he said. I fell asleep thinking about it and my first thoughts waking up this morning were about it. It's almost 9:30 here, and that's all I can think about, still! What he said  really impacted me and convicted me and I know that I CANNOT ever go back to what I was! I CANNOT be the same as I was before! I walked out of that building with no doubts. I still have no doubts now, as I write this.

All this to say is I need prayer! I have no idea on what my next step should be, other than diving deeper into His Word and praying without ceasing. Please, please please pray for me to hear from the Father and to do what He says! I do not want to be out of His will or obedience, and I know for certain that I can't live my life the way I was.

Which leaves me in the waiting zone. Of course I want only His perfect will to be done, but please pray also that He will tell me what to do quickly! I need direction. For those of you who know me,  you know that I don't do well when I have feel like I have no vision or purpose. :) Maybe this teaching me a lesson in patience. Thank you all so much for taking the time to read this and I want all of you to know that your prayers are greatly appreciated! This teaching was very timely, for me, at least, and I really, truly believe that God had a message in that for me.

P.S. I absolutely love his accent! Wasn't he so fun to listen to?
