Dear Extended Family of Mine,
As we near the end of the calendar year of 2007,
I want to wish you a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving and Christmas Season.
You have no idea how you bless me all the time. Many times when I pray he uses you to speak to me through the cards you send, the emails you send of encouragement or a dream or word the Lord gave you for me, it never ceases to amaze me.... Our Lord is soo wonderful.
I want to encourage you, to continue witnessing and moving on that small nudge of his presence, his whispers to your spirit, you never know who you may touch, or how it will affect a whole life of someone that may be on the verge of suicide or murder or ???
He reminds me of one memory a few years ago when my late husband and myself were visiting a 4-square church. While walking the corridors a man ran up to us calling: "Steven and Susan Waldrop! Steven and Susan Waldrop! Praise God!!!"
We looked at each other like "Huh?"
He came running up to us crying from joy and continued -
"You are the reason I am here in church today! I know you don't know me, but I was one of the ones at Wayside Honor Rancho when you came and ministered there to the convicts, and I gave my heart to the Lord and now I am saved! Praise God!"
We all hugged each other and cried together.....
This in my mind and spirit is what I am thankful for; How wonderful our Lord is to bless us with unexpected blessings when we are least looking for them...
It's the times we spend in prayer just telling him 'we love him', he loves...
It's the times we don't care what people think about us and just speak up for him anyway...he loves..
It's the times we stay steadfast no matter what, because we trust him, he loves....
and I could go on.....
For every time I have thought I was at the end of my rope or even the time I came to the place of nothingness.... he was always there and reminding me he is the one that knows my limits, not me.
Whether I have a million dollars in the bank or no dollars in the bank, I am filled with joy....
I have decided there is no other place I would rather be than loving on him...and for him, he is the beginning and the end of the rainbow...
Be encouraged my dear family I hear him saying;
The wind is changing and that which would normally take 2 months will take 2 weeks.
That which you thought was gone, you shall find
and the dead bones shall find they are alive.
Look up, and point your finger to the east and command the earth to yield and it shall...for this is the season the earth shall yield triple harvests.......
Praise thy name Holy Father, to thee be all the glory..
Bless You my family.....Continue being the special person you are and never question why you are here anymore, for if your job was over, you would be home... :)
