The radio donation/ new job!

I went for an interview with Okaloosa Regional home health care on monday and felt pretty confident ..I have been feeling God prompt me to go into home health and work part time. I still felt a little pressure /doubt as to whether i would get the job since I didn't know if it was God's timing with all the other pressures going on at this time with trying to sell and buy a new house but I laid it all at Jesus's feet. The lady told me she would call me back sometime this week to let me know if I got it and so I was waiting and running errands today and while I was driving I was listening to WPSM (91.1) and they are celebrating their 26th bday and were asking for the listeners to donate 26 dollars to their ministry since it's all listener supportive. I thought sure Ill do that, that's pretty easy and after all God has communicated countless times to me through the radio so the radio station is very important to me. I then proceded to call them and wish them a happy Birthday. After I placed the call a thought (i call it a Thought from God) entered my head and said "since you were obedient, the lady is going to call you and give you the job"..I thought..yeah right..whatever happens happens..didn't think to much of it ..well 15 min later I get a phone call after i made the donation and it was her offering me the job!!! I got all tingly all over and got very emotional as I called my husband Josh to tell him. It was such a God thing! To top it off I just happened to be wearing my shirt that Has Jeremiah 29:11 on it "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. PLans to prosper you, and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.". Also when I went to church My friend Michelle gave me a card to put in my wallet "nothing is impossible with God".
I'm very excited to see what God is going to do through me in this ministry he has called me to and as I help witness/take care of his people . To God be the Glory!
I will still be an ER nurse as needed to keep my hospital skill up and work home health part time (3 days a week). God is in control and I know he will be with me and my family as we impart on this new journey together.

JOB

This past wed in bible study Dad shared that he's reading the bible in a year and was tired a few days ago and just wanted to read one verse from anywhere in the bible..he flips it open and it lands on the book of Job which just happened to be the next chapter he was supposed to read following the bible in a year. Then I went to work on Thurs after hearing that story and as I was driving I was listening to 91.1 and my radio station started going out and this guy was preaching through this other radio station that was coming over 91.1 and he was talking about Trusting in God and was preaching from the book of Job! I think i've been so busy lately with trying to get the house ready for sale and trying to keep my mind off whether I would get this home health job..and I've honestly given it all to God and today I get a phone call from a home health agency that's actually affiliated with my hospital that I work at now and I'm going for an Interview this upcoming monday! I told them I only want to work part time (2-3 days a week) and still keep my Job in the ER as PRN. I'm very excited and I will keep praying for God's will and not my will to be done!

North Point Church

Just got back from my trip to Atlanta with Josh . Had a wonderful time..braves game on fri (we lost, we left during 6th inning) and then Six flags on Sat..It was too hot and long lines so we only rode 3 roller coasters (scorcher, mind bender, and Goliath).. we still had fun and then went to downtown atl but lines were too long there for coke factory. We then left and went back to hotel and relax and then Josh surprised me and took me to my fave restraunt "Bahama Breeze"..and then woke up this am and went to Andy Stanley's Church at North Point Community Church. I was so excited to go since Andy is my favorite Pastor and He's so laid back. I was amazed at even the size parking lot..it was huge..it was like going to an amusement park. We then went in and sat maybe 9 rows back on the end and I was bummed since they said Andy wasn't preaching but as i was sitting waiting for it to start out walks Andy!!! It was neat seeing him in person and they had a wonderful praise band that sounded like you were at a concert and then a preacher from South Africa spoke on "more"..I felt God speaking to me since I may be working more soon as a nurse doing home health or urgent care but I don't know if it's God's timing..I have given this all totally to God and I feel at peace about it but he was saying when we get handed something to calm our "appetite" you need to look at the outcome and not just one focal point..and I feel i've been guilty about doing this since it may sound good to go back to work or buy a nicer house but is that what God wants and what will the outcome be??? I will continue to pray for a "clearer" picture of what he wants me to do. All in all I thoroughly enjoyed being at his church..GREAT experience. If any of you would like to listen to his sermons online go to www.northpoint.org and click on messages..and if you want to listen to more messages go to www.northpoint.tv..prepare to be amazed. ..God is definetely working through him.

more "nothing is impossible with God"

I told everyone on wed night about what happened between my friend michelle and Me about "nothing is impossible with God" and then our leader Amanda was working at the bargain box the next day and said someone brought in a picture with "nothing is impossible with God"..Luke 1:37. Then today I was given a couples devotional and just happened to turn to today's date and the verse was Matthew 19:26 and said "With God all things are possible"..I really needed God to reiterate that to me this week being that I was dealing with a sick Kid and found out my neighbor died "got run over in the winn dixie parking lot" and then I'm waiting to hear from Gentiva about a possible Job and not to mention Josh starting his job this week ( a good thing) but it's just been a lot of stress and my best friend moved away this past weekend to TX (MISS YOU TANYA)..and I do know the thing that has kept me sane was the verse "nothing is impossible with God". Thank you Lord!

Freedom is a "present"

Over the last few days God has revealed to me several things..I'm currently reading Cconversations With God" about this guy who had a dialogue with God when he hit rock bottom (he was disabled, lost his job and was homeless)..If you haven't seen the movie I highly encourage you to do so..It really shifted my focus on helping others and realizing a lot of them can't help their situation.
In the book God was talking to him about the word "present"..he said we need to stop focusing on our past and our future and just live in the "present" moment and if we do that we will be less anxious and just be grateful for the "present" moment God has given us..our life could be taken from us in a millisecond..we should all live like that..I think if we kept that as our perspective life would be a lot better..He also said that our "present" moment is a "present" from God! He's funny how he plays on words..but that's so true and I never thought of it like that! How neat.
Yesterday I was in Sunday School and we were talking about Luke ch 10 and we were on Jesus sending out the 72 ahead of him to spread the good news..and then it popped into my head the word present again and if you take the word apart pre-sent..he pre sent the 72 before him just like we are "pre- sent " ahead of him before his second coming to spread the good news before his return..Wow!
Today I was listening to Andy Stanley's 4th of July sermon and he's talking about Freedom and I was looking at the word "freedom " and Andy said that if if stop focusing on "free from" rather than on "free to" life would be better..and then I thought "free to do God's work"..Which is very true..We should all be grateful that we are free to worship, free to help others, free to live, free to do, ..he says you can get in trouble when you focus too much on freedom and abuse it or take it for granted even. He used the anaology of a teenager driving for the first time...
Freedom is a "present" from God..Let us not take it for granted and focus on being more grateful!
Just wanted to share what God has revealed to me this week..It's amazing what he does!

Nothing is Impossible with God

I was talking to my friend Michelle the other day before bible study on wed night..she is going through a rough time with her father who is suffering from cancer right now (prayers would be greatly appreciated) and I told her about the verse "nothing is impossible with God " in the bible..I forgot exactly where in the bible that this verse is said at the time and she felt encouraged..
I then woke up this am to do my daily bible reading/devotional (read bible in 1 year) and just happened to be on Mark 10..I got to the 27th verse and Jesus was speaking and he said" Nothing is impossible with God" and I was so excited that God showed me where it was that I was fixing to call Michelle to tell her but as i was about to I was prompted to look in the Gospels cause I knew i saw that verse besides in Mark so i flipped open my bible and it landed on luke chapter 1..and my eyes immediately saw "nothing is impossible with God"..The angel was speaking to Mary about Elizabeth being pregnant in her old age..WOW!!! so I called Michelle and she was very excited/encouraged and so we went about our day..I went to work and then got home tonight and Michelle left me a voice mail saying she was out driving today and was behind a car with a bumper sticker entitled "nothing is impossible with God"...Double WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! God is so awesome and he usually does things in 3's to make a point..well the point is made! Thank you Jesus!
So Please remember that "Nothing is impossible with God"..No matter what circumstances you may be going through or about to go through..this verse should bring great comfort..Keep your eyes on Jesus and all will be made well..He has each and every intrests of ours in his heart and he cares greatly for each and every one of you. I focused on this verse when my mother was critcally ill in the hospital:
She had a hysterectomy on sept 13th 2009 and the next day developed blood clots in her lungs..they put her on blood thinners and then she started "fainting" a few days later and realized she was having internal bleeding..she was then rushed to ICU and got a filter placed to prevent blood clots from traveling to her heart and she also had where they went up her groin internally to stop the bleeders..they were able to stop some but she was still losing blood..During this time Ironically I felt extreme peace from God. I was so God centered and kept reading scripture over her and I could see she was at peace too. I also was able to witness to some people in the ICU waiting room and read scriptures with them and pray with them..their father was on the vent and through prayer they saught a second opinion and he was able to come off the vent!
So when God is telling you to do something please don't hesitate! Lives could be saved!
God revealed himself to me that whole weekend things were going downhill..for example..before mom's surgery she wanted me to read pssalm 23 and so I did and then that weekend i saw in the chapel psalm 23 on the wall..then when i got home from the hospital during that weekend In my mailbox was a magazine by charles stanley "in touch" that talked about several things about "do not fear", and John 16:33 : "In this world you will have trouble , but take heart I've overcome the world". on the back said "subscribe today"..lol. God has a sense of humor..So so far he used scripture, and pieces of mail to communicate..He also used songs and rainbows..I was driving and a song came on entitled " Lay it down" by needtobreathe..it only came on 2 times during that weekend and I instantly felt the wt taking off my shoulders as I was laying it all at Jesus's feet.
Back to the story: So mom was doing very bad and also went into acute renal failure since the bleeding was turning into massive blood clot in her abd that was compressing her kidney and actually punctured a hole in her bladder!. .She also had an NG tube down since her bowels were shutting down..she kept losing blood..and it was hard to treat because if you give blood thinners she will bleed and if you don't she will clot..so either way she would probably die. Well the next day i was praying hard to my grandfather who had been dead for 20 years and to Jesus and I walk in and her blood level had maintained (she recieved over 14 units of blood) and she had urine output and better kidney function! I prayed for those 2 specific things..It was like she did a complete 180..She was only in the ICU for 1 week and then was put back on Progressive care unit for 2 months total! Later on she told me she had seen God at her bedside while in the ICU ..he appeared to her on the rt, then left then above her..she describes it as a bright light with an image in the middle, she states he put his hands on her arms when she asked him if she was going to be okay and felt warm head to toe..I really believe he healed her in this instant..since he kept giving me the verse in Mark chapter 5 about the woman who had been bleeding for 12 years and touched the edge of Jesus's cloak and was healed "by your faith you have been healed". She also saw my grandfather whom i prayed to before she saw God..she said he looked younger and so happy.
Mom is doing much better now..she did have a lot of clots everywhere and now has only one blood clot in her leg..that's it! She truly is a walking miracle."nothing is impossible with God"~
I'm very grateful for Mom being saved and is here to enjoy life with us..she is such a wonderful blessing. We have been able to share our testimony with what God has done for us through our church and other groups and through xmas newsletter! I told God that if he saved mom I would give my testimony to whoever wants to hear. I pray that If you haven't accepted him as your Lord and savior you will highly consider it..He's always waiting..
