praise & pray 4 me

look at the moon . . . I wanna be just like that ^__^ (i.e. brightly reflecting a glory not my own, simply faithfully reflecting His light to all =)-- i'm not an awfully faithfully bright reflector tho :"(
please REJOICE with me & pray for me!!
if you care about me & love me, please tell me anytime you see something wrong in my life!
=D~rejoice with me~ =D
:D the small reminders everyday of HIs big big BIG love for me!!
:D the blessing of being sick that getsme alone with Him to "be stull & knowthat He is God!"
:D blessing me with such a wonderful gift of disability! [only a TRUE & LIVING GOD could turn a brain injury into a BLESSING!]
:D His love never fails!!
:D His Word never fails!!
:D His promise never fails!
Know this with all your heart, with everything in you, that not one detail has failed of all the good things GOD, your God, promised you. It has all happened. nothing's left undone--not so much as a word. [Joshua 23:14b]
:D nothing, nothing, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING can change my status before The Living, Perfect & Holy God Almighty: Perfect, Righteous, Blameless, & Spotless in Christ Jesus His Son !!
:D the miracle of every breath i breathe, always witnessing the glorious mystery of grace!!
:D probviding all unds needed to support our native missionary "CJ" for a full year! see: www.gfa.org/maxmissions
:D continually taking away any reasons i'd have to be proud (my worst enemy!] & giving me much reason to be humble [my best friend] !!
:D daily revealing beautifully fresh new facets of the unsearchable depths of His mercy & grace to me!

*please PRAY with me & for me*
* bless many still waiting to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ through our GFA MAX MISSION missionary, "CJ"!! see www.gfa.org/maxmissions
* id preserve a a simple relationship with Him by allowing Him to strip away the complexities of my spiritual walk and re-establish me on a principle of simplicity in Him!
* in all things Jesus would have the pre-emimence, NOT any "to-do list"!
* i'd HEAR & RESPOND to God's CALL & not to needs or "what seemed good at the time!"
* i'd not waste my life on what's "good" at the expense of THE BEST!
* i'd keep giving Papa my fears & let Him lift me up on His shoulders!
Lord, grant me never to lose sight of:
the exceeding sinfulness of sin,
the exceeding righteousness of salvation,
the exceeding glory of Christ,the exceeding beauty of holiness,
the exceeding wonder of grace
(from "continual repentance" the Valley of Vision)
* i'd unlearn the lies i've believed in & held onto for FAR TOO LONG [eg i'm not worthy of anyone's love, especially God's!]
* in sickness or health, poverty or wealth, i'd make much of Jesus & advance His Kingdom!
* i'd hold onto, avail myself to & never let go of the promises of God come what may!
* keep me standing close to the cross every moment of every day so as to cultivate/strengthen my greatest friend, humility, and weaken/kill my greatest enemy, pride!
* guard my health: getting a cold . . . great for my relationship with Him but not so great for relating to others!
*i'd daily declare war on pride & gladly declare my weakness & need for total dependence on God!
* i'd not lose sight of the seriousness of the very real unseen war raging on around us & stay ALERT for the souls of those around me & myself!!
* i'd use every temptation to sin as an opportunity to prove my love for Jesus by keeping His commandments! "The person who has my commandments and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I, too, will love him and reveal myself to him." (John 14:21)
* i'd reply the devil's accusations with GOSPEL TRUTH!! Micah 7:8-9!!
thanks SO much~! appreciate you . . . for an eternity :)
