A day of cleaning and organizing and I am sore

Well, I picked today to get Karinne's stuff organized and stuff out to the shed. Karinne moved home this month and her stuff has been here and there around the house. I was waiting for her to do it and she didn't, so I got the stuff organized and now I can move in my house again. It is ok having her home, although she is not home much....

I think that I hurt over much of my body right now as I did a lot of packing and moving and throwing things around today. Of this I am not used to!! Also, my birthday is less than a month and I am getting old...lol....to a 20 year old I am, but really I don't feel too old until I abuse my body like I did today !! Must be time to go to bed and recoup !!

Tomorrow I am helping Judi at Children's church. We are making butterflies and watching the DVD of the play that we did at Christmas. The DVD is finally ready and I am happy that we are watching it tomorrow !!

Well, off to bed ! Another day done !!

Truly He is good !

Last night when we were at prayer the Lord prompted us to just worship Him for a long time. It was about His holiness. The presence of the Lord was very strong and we just kept worshipping Him even after the songs finished. We could feel the substance of heaven and so instead of the usual praying for something we just had vision for things and also pulled down some of the substance and released it over who we were praying about.It was pretty cool ! We went late and personally I did not want to leave the presence of God.

Seems like with the new name coming for the church , the school and the ministry, there really is transformation happening! I am really not sure about the name, mainly the central part of "Transformation Central" which the church will be called.
The ministry is Transform International Ministry S?(don't remember what the S part is about) (TIMS) and the school will be called "Transform U". (short for university)It will take some getting used to that is for sure. I know that it is from the Lord so I am behind the name change. Just got used to Global Harvest Center! LOL

We were told that it was not a time for comfort and I really can see that ! Since I came to the church there has been nothing other than change. Some things have been good and some bad ! All have taught us things that we need for the times ahead. I guess I should just take my hands off and enjoy the journey !

A Quote

Faith is a heart condition where we stretch out and reach toward the Lord, while the winds of the Spirit holds us afloat. When we flap our wings, we are vigorously exercising our faith through works, based upon what we believe the Lord has told us.
When we soar, we are resting in our trust in the Lord and letting Him carry us amidst the surrounding terrain. The Lord teaches us through faith how to rise above difficulties and hinderances in our life. We learn how to rise high enough to gain His perspective on what is below.

About Fly

This video is Jonathan David Helser's song "FLY" which has greatly impacted me when I had over a 3 day period a visitation from God (Dec 31, 2008- Jan 2 , 2009) I found this song on Jan 1st on ITunes and it was almost exactly what the Lord had been speaking to me about. I wrote a blog on part of it. I love Jonathan's songs and his heart. He has a song called " Intimacy" that is speaking to me right now and it is awesome ! All this fits with where the Lord is leading me and speaking to me in this season. I hope that you enjoy this video and the song.

Eyes

Yesterday at church I felt compelled to get up and give a word. I felt that at that time, that the Lord was desiring us to get new eyes -new vision. The scripture I had gotten was when Blind Bartameus asked to be healed, first the Lord healed his spiritual vision and then his natural vision. I felt that the Lord was wanting us to appropriate the "eyes of heaven" The eyes of God , the eyes of mercy, the eyes of love, the eyes of hope, the eyes of wisdom etc. That we needed to "see" that Jesus has done it all. That it is all there for walking in and taking, that there was substance to all this as it is all from the kingdom realm. We need to "see" that it is finished and it is done and that there is no new healings etc, just that we need to walk in this kingdom realm. I knew that there was a physical sense to this too as the Lord was speaking about the whole eye. The light in the eyes even. (I know there is a scripture about that but I didn't look it up..think that it is in Proverbs)
I don't think that I am explaining this totally right, but this morning when I woke up I saw a door standing in front of me wide open. I heard a voice say to me " I have set an open door before you ....walk thru it. (reminded me of my other post about get up, take your mat and walk!)
Thru the door I could see the other side .....all this required was for me to walk out of the I can't realm, the what if realm, the realm of unbelief, the realm of fear and intimidation and into what IS and IS TO COME realm. The other side WAS more real than this side....the kingdom IS at hand !

Barry's 3 week late surprise Birthday party

Poor Barry,

He was born on December 30, 1960 and that means that with it being just after Christmas, he usually gets the short end of the stick present and party - wise.
This last birthday was not much different... yes, I forgot to buy him a gift before I ran out of money around Christmas! This year I should buy him something 6 months early ! He always says that he is ok, but I know it must bug him that this happens year after year !!

So, I decided that as it was payday on Friday, that I would get the girls together on Saturday (Colin is in Florida) and make a big dinner and buy him a gift. I also made a cake and iced it and so we decided to surprise him. I asked him if he was coming home for dinner as Alisha and Karinne were there and he said " maybe". So, this surprise party was more of a surprise for me as to whether he was coming home from work or not. He is on a deadline with cabinets for one of his customers and so he needs to work as late as possible.

Well, the end of this story is that he did come home, he was surprised and he loved the ham and scalloped potatoes AND he liked his gift. Good time was had by all ! I am glad that it worked out, but it did, so I am also happy.

It is also good to have both girls here . Todd is in West Virginia with his Dad who is sick and Colin is in Florida until tomorrow. He was at a convention for work.

So, this ends the saga of the surprise party for Barry. PTL it worked out !! :)
