With all the rain around here, one would think that no one here could have a dry spell. I have one! It's in my mind and I feel like it's starting into my heart. Yep, I'm just down. Major life changes, health changes in Ken, paperwork, knowing we have money from his 401K, but the company has 45 working days to release it, phone calls trying to take care of business, all added on my everyday schedule. I'm overwhelmed right now. I know all the scriptures, I know God hears my prayers when I don't have the words to speak, I know He's in control, and I even know that the outcome of all of this is going to be fine, God has comfirmed that over and over.....but still satan is working, as usual. I'm leaning on Him with all that I have, I even annointed my home with oil last week. I'm tired, I'm weary......and if you're honest, you've been there too at some point. I know that this too shall pass....
Abba Father, I come before you today, asking that you restore my joy. That you bind satan from me and Ken. That you supply our needs to keep our home and keep it running. Lord, give me strength to get through this and wisdom to handle it all. Carry me now, for I'm feeling weak. Slow my mind down so I can think clearly. I know your love and promises and I know that You and You alone are faithful, help me not to sink into the mire of all of this, lift me up to soar, Father. Help me to press on in faith and joy. Thank you Lord for answering this prayer, I know you hear my heart when I can't speak....I lift my heart to you. Amen
Update: Thank you Lord, we got the 401K taken care of!!!!!!!! We called them, and it had been updated today, so we called our tax preparer, they advised us what to do for minimal damage and still been able to pay our bills. Then Ken went to the bank, and talked with the VP, who goes to our church.....he said it would work!!!!!!! So, I called back on the plan.....gave them instructions for the money, and as of Wednesday, we'll be able to pay bills and get groceries......with minimal damage :) Thank you for your prayers, I still have alot to do......got more paperwork today on our car, we have credit disability on it......Ken said "No, you're not doing it today, DESTRESS!" Keep praying, I love you all!
Father, daddy, we life up this family to you and ask for your loving, healing hand to come and guide them through the many trials and decisions to be made. Open their eyes to your plan and show them when to turn right or left. Open doors in their life that you want open and close the doors in their life that you want closed. You are God ans have brought them this far...you will never leave them nor forsake them...remind them of the times in their life when you displayed who you are. In Jesus name, amen
Thank you for sharing your heart today and being honest!!! I can relate to where you are and what you are feeling and no matter what anyone said I had to go through it myself! AS for you 401K been there and done that recently as a matter of fact and My advice keep on them cause we thought our paperwork and phone calls were all made waited for the check never came only to find out they never filed the paperwork which delayed us more! So keep on them Cindy.... Keep plugging and keep plugging even when you dont want to the dry spell will only last as long as long as God will allow!! Love you and will keep you in my prayers

Yes sister, all of us have been in that valley and it seems as if every rock is falling on our heads, but the good news is that FATHER is right there with you listening and answering your call. Father, in the mighty name of your most precious son JESUS, I am standing here asking that you continue to lift my sister and continue to provide and protect her and Ken. Father we all come to a point (more times than can be counted) when the weight of this world seems to crash down upon us but You have said , "I WILL NEVER FORSAKE YOU OR LEAVE YOU" and we are believing and knowing that you are the only one who never ever go back on your word.

relax and let the peace of God reign in your heart and your mind. I know exaclty what you are saying. I go through it nearly every day. It is just your Spirit calling out to Him. As deep calls out to deep. Just remember, it is a season as you alluded to, and without the dry spells we would appreciate the filling and out pouring when it comes. Your break through is on the way!
Bro Todd: you just have a way of putting things :) Ya know, I know when this is all over, Ken and I will have this awesome testimony of what God has brought us through, and what I feel today will be part of that testimony.....oh yeah, my spirit is crying out to Him
heather: thank you, my new friend :)
Lara Nell: yes, we do what we know to do....bad thing is, I honestly don't know what I'm doing, ohhhhhhh man, gotta laugh!!!! This stuff is alllllllll new to me, never been around it, never dealt with it before.....take me to a bar, a drug addict, a drunk, having no food, living in fear for my life.....that I know how to deal with......this paperwork and financial stuff.....even though I'm 12 hours away from a degree in Business.....I'm overwhelmed with. I'm just a regular country girl trying to get by with the Lord.
I understand your frustation, have been there too, not health problems with my husband, but most of the other daily frustations, and of course that is when Satan strikes the hardest. I thank God that He is much greater than all this. Am keeping you all in my prayers. Chin up! You have all the right answers, you know God is in control and He will not fail you. The world can't take your joy away. luv ya
Dry Spell is over in the name of JESUS, like you said this to shall pass
Father, I'm praying that Cinder and Ken will be free from worry...
Help them not worry when things don't go the way they expect. Jesus said we're not to fret, not to worry, not to let our hearts be troubled or afraid. He said we're to trust in You— and also in Him. May it be so in their lives and ministry, no matter how impossible things seem. (John 14:1, 27b)
Keep them from worrying about tomorrow, for each day has enough trouble of its own. When such trouble comes, help them to cast all their anxiety on Christ because He cares for them. (Matthew 6:34; 1 Peter 5:7)
Help them not to be anxious about anything but to pray about everything with thanksgiving—for when they do, You'll give them Your peace that surpasses their understanding, and such peace guards their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6–7)
Keep their minds steadfast in trusting You, and give them Your perfect peace. May they turn to the Lord of Peace who will give them peace at all times, in every way. (Isaiah 26:3; 2 Thessalonians 3:16)
Help them leave every worry at Your feet where it belongs.
ABBA Father, Daddy God, Lover of my Soul, Healer and Creator of us All, Alpha and Omega.....
We come to you now God and we just sit in awe and Praise you. We sing to you today a new song of Praise! When we thank you for everything, we also learn just to sit in awe of all you do Lord. Because we, Mychurchers, we know that if we just give up and surrender it all to you we will know that You are the God of the days of old. We will remember Moses and your chosen children. We will remember how Lord, that when it was hot, you provided wind, and a cloud, even if it was just one big cloud. We remember that before the day that we were supposed to praise and worship you and only you, that you gave us extra helpings of MANNA the bread of life, So Lord, why do we thirst when we KNOW in the depths of our hearts that YOU will provide a way and a means for us to keep on praising you? We know that try as we must in our lustful ways you have a bigger purpose for us and it is NOT our time to die. We have to praise and worship you in everything we do. Especially our TESTIMONIES....of how you pulled us through it....once again Lord. You picked me up, dusted me off, stood me down feet back on solid ground. Why when the going gets tough Lord do we always, let the LIES of Satan control us with fear. Lord you know that I am just so broke.......that I cant even PAY attention....but Lord through these struggles Lord I have learned to remember your Commandments and just Keep Pressing on towards my way out of Egypt. Lord, Hear the cry's of your Peoples hear on Mychurch. Comfort us NOW and remind us that Soon once again you WILL be sending your Son back and we will just be singing all the time praises to YOU Lord! We all need you now LORD....Fill us with your PROMISES....cause your Faithful people here on Mychurch KNOW without a shadow of a doubt that you are our GOD and you will take care of us NO MATTER WHAT....
So We will Lord just keep pressing on Lord...into the WORD...your promises...your Laws and LORD we will just keep getting closer and closer to feeling your ever beautiful presence until the day of our King returns.... I will remember what he said and sing a NEW SONG:
Cause this is the body.... This is the blood... Poured out and broken foreach one of us
and in this comunion we share in His Love This is the body and this is the blood......
I will Drink from the well....and Eat of the Word...every moment my eye is not on YOU LORD.....
