double rainbow!

This Morning was the first day of school and my dad is currently still in the hospital. I woke up praying for God to give me strength to get through this day along with every day. This weeks EWomen Devotional was about "I can do all things through Christ who gives me Strength" Phil 4:13. I've copied it so you can read it below: The Strength to Do it All August 20, 2012 By: Julie Clinton "I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13 Dream. Beauty. Princess. Some hear these words and immediately think "weak"... "frail"... "helpless." I suppose they have read too many fairy tales, because it doesn't necessarily have to be that way. Being a princess of the King of Kings, such as you are, is completely different. If you believe, you can do everything and anything through Christ who gives you the strength to handle it. Just think—you have the power to accomplish great things. Even with this power, remember, you can’t try doing it alone. It’s not in your own power that you can attempt to accomplish your tasks and duties. You must rely on Christ’s power that is living within you. We all try to get by on our own. We have the best plans, the greatest intentions. We work hard and long. We worry, sweat and even panic. Then everything goes wrong and it all fizzles out. It’s time to realize that you can’t do it alone. For true success in anything, you have to be sure that your motives are pure, that the plan you have in mind is from the Lord, and that His power is within. When these ingredients are all lined up, then you will be able to accomplish anything and everything! Prayer Too often, Lord, I struggle and strive on my own. Help me to rely on You, to hold on to the strength that comes from You to accomplish everything I do. Amen. Bible Readings for the Week Ahead: Monday: Jeremiah 17:5-8 Tuesday: 2 Corinthians 12:9 Wednesday: Ephesians 3:16 Thursday: Colossians 1:11 Friday: 2 Timothy 1:12 Saturday: Daniel 10:19 Sunday: 2 Timothy 4:17 WOW!!! God just answered what I prayed for..or confirmed what I said!! How Awesome. Also Dad had a rough time this past weekend and i Prayed specifically for his appetitite to increase and for no infection..and today he ate really well and his incision looks awesome! PRAISE GOD!!! Mom called me on the way home and she said she sees a rainbow! I go outside and there's a huge rainbow over my house and it gets brighter and then a double rainbow. God has given me rainbows in the past when he healed my mom and dad while they were in hospital previously!! How AWESOME IS THAT?? Also in Jesus Calling book today talks about God's healing power. His timing is sooo perfect!!!! Thank you Lord!!!

Angel in clouds on horse

I took a picture of the sunset last night 8/14/12 since it was so pretty after church outside church. I briefly said to myself to God to show me a sign.. Didn't think anything if it and I looked briefly at pic. Well woke up this am on the morning of my dads surgery( having gallbladder removed) and I was on Facebook and today's verse On klove was " be still and know that I am God" Psalm 46:10. Then I showed the pic of the sunset to my girls and my youngest ashley said " do you see the angel on the horse?" I looked again and there it was!! You can see the bridle and the angel! It does say in scripture that God shows signs in the heavens and on the earth below! Then I get in my car after saying how great is his love for us and then " oh how he loves us" comes on the radio and then " your presence is like heaven" and talked about Lisa tyrkhurst new book" unglued" because I felt last night I was coming unglued. My husband is currently in afghanistan and I haven't been able to talk to him on phone last few days which has been hard. God is awesome!!!
