Eagle

I went to the cabin a few days ago up in SC and it was amazing as always. I always enjoy going to the little white church in the mountain (Rocky Bottom Baptist Church) as I feel there's always a message from God when I go and I really feel the power of the Holy Spirit in that church! Before I went to church the previous week I was watching a testimony from a 14 year old girl that was posted on Tic Tock and she said she had died (car got hit by semi) and she went up to to heaven and God was showing her people on their screens and he wanted her to come back to earth to warn people to not be on their devices so people can hear from him..and that there were too many distractions. So we went to church this past Sunday at the little white church in the mountain and we caught the last 10 min of Sunday School and Jonathen was preaching and stating that we live in a world where there are a lot of distractions and how we can't hear from God because we are too distracted especially by our phones/tablets..WOW!!!!! I was really overcome and wiping tears from my eyes and my son said "Are you sad?" and I said "No, just overcome by the Holy Spirit." God's timing is always perfect. It truly is convicting to get off our devices and really spend time with God. I did bring a tablet to the cabin so Ryan could play games or watch a movie but the charger was broke so It wouldn't charge..then I tried watching tv but it wouldn't work either..(this was before I heard the message). Just goes to show that we can still have fun without the tablet /screens ..we played outside and threw rocks in the stream, enjoyed nature, caught fire flies, worked on a puzzle, played games and went exploring. It was truly amazing.. On Sunday Night we decided to go up to the tallest mountain in SC and it borders NC as well so it's a pretty good overlook..I did ask God to show me a sign of some sort whether it was a rainbow or some other thing he wanted to show me..so we are standing there looking around and there was this big eagle cloud so I took a pic of it and then I looked at how it turned out ..on closer inspection I could see lettering that looked like the word fear above the eagle and then under that looked like Jesus's face, and the the right of that looked like a smiley face and the word sooo good 25. under the rt wing looked like the word "rest" and then up on top left corner of pic the word "Pray". Wow...I'm reminded that we need to Rest and spend time with him , to Pray at all times (pray without ceasing" and to not be distracted by other things that take our attention away from what truly matters which is HIM!!! And to have NO Fear..Perfect love casts out all fear! Also reminded of the verse in Isaiah 40:31 " But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength: they shall mount with with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint". On Monday we went to the this cute health food store in SC and while there this man sits across from us while we were eating and he had an American flag shirt with an Eagle and a cross underneath it! My mom said "I'm going to go talk to him and tell him I like his shirt". So she approached him and told him that and he was so happy and he said "Well, I have a testimony to share with you..a few years ago my kidneys shut down and I woke up 6 days later and God had healed me"...Then mom said "I also have a testimony to share with you"..and she preceded to tell him how God had healed her in 2009 after her hysterecomy (see previous blog post) ..It was soooo amazing how God placed us at the right time to have this encounter..it truly was a God thing and his timing is Always perfect!
