window of opportunity
So mellie soo and i headed off to bring supper to the Stitches warehouse last night. and what a time it was! Pastor Chris & Pat completely inspire me to the core. Their simple and faith-filled heart is so contagious. As they've been obedient to the call of God on their life, God has provided. 'Many are called, few are chosen.'
These adults from the flats were so enthusiastic to learn. How they have such a different attitude to so many of us who have been so fortunate to have education right up until university. An attractive 36-year old lady caught my attention. She was so eager to learn caught my eye and i got a chance to dig a little into her story. She shared how she came to know of this free computer course. She doesn't really know it yet but i believe God's got his eye on her.
'Ask and you shall receive..'
They asked why we were there? They had such a grateful heart!
So the eagerness of these 20-odd adults has inspired me to go next Wednesday night to bring supper for them..how could i not?
fat max
so my new friend 'fat max'...i met him last week and he's so fat that i've left him behind a few times. he's very trustworthy and truthful.

that f-word
When severe drought hit a small farming community in USA, a local church called a prayer meeting and everybody showed up. Crisis has a way of getting our attention. As the pastor stood before his packed church, he noticed a little girl sitting in the front row, beaming with excitement. Lying next to her was her bright red umbrella poised for use. The beauty and innocence of this sight made him smile as he compared the faith of this child with that of the rest of the people in the room. You see, the rest of them had just come to pray for rain - she had come to see God answer!
'Ask..in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.' Mark 11:24
When i pray for rain, do i bring my red umbrella?

ceased the moment
The Lord is now Her Shepherd
She shall not be in want
He makes her lie down in greener pastures
And leads her beside still waters
His rod and His staff shall comfort her

if you give a man a fish, you feed him for one meal
but
if you teach the man to fish, he has a meal for life

..
why is it as such?
i can't comprehend.
maybe i'm not supposed to.
i have no control.
the mouth says one thing
but the actions shown another
i'm scarred.

here
i have not departed
from the commandment of His lips;
I have treasured the words
of His mouth
more than my necessary food
Job 23:12
As the deer pants for the water brooks,
so my soul pants for You O God,
My soul thirts for God, for the living God.
Psalm 42:1

and so i
prayed the prayer...
Lord your will be done
in my life, in my family, in my friends,
in this city, in this world that You love.
I sensed i was entering a new season.
I needed to be broken.
I was becoming stale, dry boned.
I needed a breakthrough.
And He did.
He does it so that men will revere him.
Can i just say..I've planned all i want, all i could but He has directed..His timing IS PERFECT.
I know.
p/s: Be careful what you pray.

There is a time for evetrhing and a season for every activity under heaven; He has made everything beautiful in His time. I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live. That everyone may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil - this IS the gift of God. I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it.
He does it so that men will revere him.
