There has been much rhyming going on in my house. My daughter and I are involved in the production Seussical, a musical that combines a number of Dr. Seuss stories into one grand story. As we are deep in rehearsal mode, we cannot seem to have a conversation without it sounding like a poem, fragmented sentence or a rhyming response.</div>

<em>"Okay, what you said."<br />
</em>"What did you eat at Lunch?"<br />
<em>"Pasta and then some punch."<br />
</em>"Are you here?"<br />
<em>"Yes, my dear."<br />
</em>"Turn off the light"<br />
<em>"I just might"<br />
</em>It's like we are being constantly schooled in Seuss! <br />

Say! Would you like to step into my Seussi-School classroom? It just happens to be story time. Sit on my cyber lap while I read you a story.<em><br />

After reading THE PARABLES OF DR. SEUSS by Robert L. Short I was inspired to look at this classic Dr. Seuss favorite, Green Eggs and Ham, in a new light. It seemed so un-Seussical to leave it at that, so here is my take. I invite you to sit a bit longer on my cyber lap.<br />
<br />
<em>"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you." Matthew 7:7</em><br />
<br />
In this verse God promises us that if we don't give up tasting, believing, trusting and seeking truth we will find it. In Dr. Seuss' book "Green Eggs and Ham," Sam does not give up on his friend knowing that if he has never even tried green eggs and ham, he can't really know for sure if he doesn't like it. He just sticks by his friend's side until his friend takes a bite and then... "Say! I like green eggs and ham!" Sam's friend was full of gratitude that he did not give up on him and says, "Thank you, thank you, Sam-I-Am." Sometimes its hard to really trust, to have full faith and believe in Jesus. It's hard to see the big God-picture when we are in the middle of life struggles. God brings little "Sam-I-Am" messengers into our lives to help us look to Jesus. It's also hard to keep pointing our friends to Jesus without being annoying when they just don't believe. If we have never tried believing, it's hard to take that first bite. But we can trust God's word that says, "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you." Keep on keeping on!<br />
<br /><em>"Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life." John 6:47-48</em><br />
<br />
In this verse Jesus claims to be the bread of life. Sam-I-Am wanted his friend to eat something he didn't see as appetizing. Anything green must taste disgusting, right? After trying it, Sam's friend changed his perspective. Should we EAT Jesus because He is the "bread of life?" Will our perspective really change if we just chomp in? Like Sam's friend, I think eating someone's flesh sounds disgusting! Where would we even get some Jesus-flesh anyway? It's not like we can find it in the meat department at the grocery store. Robert L. Short points out in his book that Jesus didn't mean that we are to literally eat his skin. Jesus meant that we should believe in him. When we believe (eat up) who Jesus is, everything changes! Truly, truly, we will have eternal life in heaven! His spirit becomes our life-guide, guiding us in our steps. "Would you, could you, step to the right? Would you, could you, step to the left?" In other words, His spirit helps us always as we live with our new and enlightened perspective.<br />

<br />
Robert L. Short points out that Sam, or Samuel, is the Old Testament name that means "name of God." What is God's name in the Old Testament? Well, when God asks Moses to be a messenger to set the Israelites free from slavery in Egypt, Moses asks God, "What shall I say to them?" God answers, "I am who I am...you shall say to the Israelites, "I AM has sent me to you." <br />
<br />
In this light I present to you a poem inspired by Dr. Seuss' classic Green Eggs and Ham.<br />
<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Jesus The Lamb...The Great I Am!</span><br />
<div style="font-size: 10pt;">
By Michelle Fozounmayeh</div>
<br />
<em>I am Great</em><br />
<em>Great I am</em><br />
<br />
That Great I am, That Great I am.<br />
I do not like, that Great I am.<br />
<br />
<em>Would you try, Jesus the Lamb?</em><br />
I do not like, Jesus the Lamb.<br />
<br />
<em>Would you try, Him in a snare?</em><br />
<em>Could you try, your cupboards are bare?</em><br />
<br />
I will not try Him in a snare,<br />
I will not try Him when all is bare.<br />
I will not try Jesus the Lamb,<br />
I do not like the Great I am!<br />
<br />
<em>He lifts you up so you can soar...</em><br />
<em>Will you enter the open door?</em><br />
<br />
Not to soar<br />
Not at a door<br />
Not in a snare<br />
When all is bare<br />
I will not try Jesus the Lamb,<br />
I do not like the Great I am.<br />
<br />
<em>Forgiveness! Forgiveness! You can be saved!</em><br />
I don't need forgiveness, on my own I'm brave.<br />
<br />
<em>Drink til your full, It's living water and true!</em><br />
It's actually all lies, I've heard from a few.<br />
<br />
<em>Here is a fork, spoon and knife,</em><br />
<em>You can eat the Bread of Life.</em><br />
<em>You can feast at His table for two,</em><br />
<em>Could you, would you, if His best was for you?</em><br />
<br />
I could not, would not, with a knife,<br />
I would not, could not, eat bread of life.<br />
I will not, will not, just to soar,<br />
I'd rather sit here and be a boar.<br />
I will not try Him in a snare,<br />
I will not try Him when all is bare.<br />
I will not try Jesus the Lamb,<br />
I do not like the Great I am.<br />
<br />
<em>You have not tried Him I can see,</em><br />
<em>I point to Him when you come to me.</em><br />
<em>Out of the dark, how about today?</em><br />
<em>The light of the world will show you the way!</em><br />
<br />
I like being blind, I'd rather not see,<br />
Even if you say, He is good to me.<br />
If I knew I needed Him because of my sin,<br />
I still can't say if I would let him in.<br />
<br />
<em>If you were a fruit would you want to taste sweet,</em><br />
<em>Or walk through the fire with strength for the heat?</em><br />
<br />
I'd like to taste sweet and get out of the heat,<br />
But I can add sugar and use my own feet.<br />
I may need him because of my sin,<br />
I'm just too stubborn to let him in.<br />
So leave with your question mark,<br />
I will not come out of the dark.<br />
Not today.<br />
Not this way.<br />
Not with a knife,<br />
For the bread of life.<br />
Not to soar.<br />
Not at a door.<br />
Not in a snare,<br />
When all is bare.<br />
I will not try Jesus the Lamb,<br />
I do not like the Great-I-am.<br />
<br />
<em>If it meant eternal life when you finish up,</em><br />
<em>Would you, could you, drink from His cup?</em><br />
<br />
I'm just not sure, if this is for me.<br />
I'm not in need, maybe let me be.<br />
<br />
<em>You say you do not like Jesus the Lamb,</em><br />
<em>You say you do not like the Great-I-am.</em><br />
<em>You said you like being blind, a time ago,</em><br />
<em>You have not tried Him, how do you know?</em><br />
<em>As a friend I've pointed you to Him,</em><br />
<em>I don't wish to force you to begin.</em><br />
<em>Find out if this is what you need,</em><br />
<em>Try him, and you will see.</em><br />
<br />
If I try, I will see,<br />
If I try, will you let me be?<br />
<br />
<em>I will let you be, my friend,</em><br />
<em>It's your choice in the end.</em><br />
<br />
Say, I like Jesus the Lamb!<br />
I do, I do, the Great-I-am!<br />
I believe, I believe, in a snare,<br />
He can, He can, when all is bare.<br />
Out of the dark, now I can see,<br />
How very good He is to me.<br />
I can taste sweet,<br />
In or out of the heat.<br />
I walked through the door,<br />
I can soar!<br />
I can be brave,<br />
Say, He can save!<br />
See, now that I let Him in,<br />
I am forgiven of all my sin.<br />
Yes! I say it today!<br />
Jesus is the Way!<br />
His table for two,<br />
Has the best food.<br />
I can now see,<br />
His best for me!<br />
I do so like Jesus the Lamb<br />
Thank You! Thank You, Great-I-am!<br />

The classroom lessons are over, it's time for recess! It's one thing to sit and learn about God's truth, it's another to go into the world and live it! <br />
<br />
As you know, my Seussi-School opened it's doors the moment my daughter and I started rehearsals for the musical Seussical. Many times in rehearsals we play games. Games develop foundational skills needed for performing roles. Observation and imitation are primary mechanisms for learning and because people enact a number of different roles during their lifetimes, or even during the course of a single day, games can prepare us for the roles God calls for us to do. Preparing, rehearsing, and performing for important life events is a natural part of the human experience in any culture. You can't put Dr. Seuss in a box, so let's step outside of our box with a game that can help us become the Sam-I-Am God needs us to be!<br />
<br />
Grab a couple of friends, or gather your family, and play the FAITH WALK GAME! This game encourages confidence, spatial awareness, teamwork, communication and being in the moment. It also holds spiritual lessons such as having faith, spiritual accountability, perseverance, readiness and seeking to find.<br />
<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">FAITH WALK GAME</span><br />
<br />
<strong><em>Goal:</em></strong><br />
Sam-I-Am messengers guide their blind friends(closed eyes) by saying, "Would you, could you, step to the Right (or Left, Forward, Back) until they find (try) Green Eggs and Ham. The Game ends when teammates can proclaim, "I Like Green Eggs and Ham!"<br />
<br />
<strong><em>Set-up:</em></strong><br />
-Find at least two willing friends<br />
-Gather several sheets of paper, at least ten. On all but two of the sheets of paper*, write fun sayings that will tell the pair(s) to try again. Some examples might be, "Not here my friend, go try again," or, "Nice try, bye bye," or, "No, no, no, no! Go, go, go, go!" <br />
-On the last two pieces paper, make one represent green eggs, and one represent ham. Be creative!<br />
-Pair up, leaving one (or two if you have an even number) friend as the Giver of Good Gifts.<br />
-The paired-up friends close their eyes as the Giver of Good Gifts places the papers all around the house, face side down.<br />
-After the Giver of Good Gifts is done you are ready to play the game.<br />
<div style="font-size: 11pt;">
*If you are playing with a group with more than one pair of friends, set aside additional false findings and green eggs and hams for each pair.</div>
<br />
<em><strong>How to Play: </strong></em><br />
-The pair(s) prepares to search. One starts as the Sam-I-Am guide, the other is the friend.<br />
-The friend closes his/her eyes as if they were blind.<br />
-When the Giver of Good Gifts says go, the Sam-I-Am messenger will stand close to his/her friend. Without touching, he/she will guide the friend by saying, "Would you, could you, step to the right (or left, forward, back)" The friend will then take one step in that direction. The messenger will continue guiding step by step, helping the friend to a piece of paper.<br />
-When the pair finds a paper, Sam-I-Am checks it. If it is a green egg or ham, Sam-I-am has successfully helped his/her friend taste the truth! If it is not a green egg or ham, they continue to search. The team is not done until the friend has tasted both green eggs and ham.<br />
-Once the friend has found one green egg and one ham, the blindfold comes off and they proclaim, "I Like Green Eggs and Ham!"<br />
-After a full round, the friends switch roles.<br />
<br />
<strong><em>Wrap up questions:</em></strong><br />
How did it feel to be the blind friend?<br />
How did it feel to be the Sam-I-Am messenger?<br />
How did it feel to be the Giver of Good Gifts?<br />
What does this game teach us about being a Christian in the world?<br />
<br />
You are never too old for recess...and ever too knowledgeable to rehearse.<br />

iPray that you will be the Sam-I-Am messenger that never gives up in doing good, and never gives up on your friends.

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
That Great I am, That Great I am.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
I do not like, that Great I am.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<em>Would you try, Jesus the Lamb?</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
I do not like, Jesus the Lamb.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<em>Would you try, Him in a snare?</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<em>Could you try, your cupboards are bare?</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
I will not try Him in a snare,</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
I will not try Him when all is bare.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
I will not try Jesus the Lamb, </div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
I do not like the Great I am!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<em>He lifts you up so you can soar...</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<em>Will you enter the open door?</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
Not to soar</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
Not at a door</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
Not in a snare</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
When all is bare</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
I will not try Jesus the Lamb, </div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
I do not like the Great I am.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<em>Forgiveness! Forgiveness! You can be saved!</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
I don't need forgiveness, on my own I'm brave.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<em>Drink til your full, It's living water and true!</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
It's actually all lies, I've heard from a few.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<em>Here is a fork, spoon and knife,</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<em>You can eat the Bread of Life.</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<em>You can feast at His table for two,</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<em>Could you, would you, if His best was for you?</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
I could not, would not, with a knife,</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
I would not, could not, eat bread of life.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
I will not, will not, just to soar,</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
I'd rather sit here and be a boar.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
I will not try Him in a snare,</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
I will not try Him when all is bare.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
I will not try Jesus the Lamb, </div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
I do not like the Great I am.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<em>You have not tried Him I can see,</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<em>I point to Him when you come to me.</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<em>Out of the dark, how about today?</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<em>The light of the world will show you the way!</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
I like being blind, I'd rather not see,</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
Even if you say, He is good to me.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
If I knew I needed Him because of my sin,</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
I still can't say if I would let him in.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<em>If you were a fruit would you want to taste sweet,</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<em>Or walk through the fire with strength for the heat?</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
I'd like to taste sweet and get out of the heat,</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
But I can add sugar and use my own feet.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
I may need him because of my sin,</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
I'm just too stubborn to let him in.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
So leave with your question mark,</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
I will not come out of the dark.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
Not today.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
Not this way.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
Not with a knife,</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
For the bread of life.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
Not to soar.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
Not at a door.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
Not in a snare,</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
When all is bare.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
I will not try Jesus the Lamb, </div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
I do not like the Great-I-am.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<em>If it meant eternal life when you finish up,</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<em>Would you, could you, drink from His cup?</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
I'm just not sure, if this is for me.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
I'm not in need, maybe let me be.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<em>You say you do not like Jesus the Lamb,</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<em>You say you do not like the Great-I-am.</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<em>You said you like being blind, a time ago,</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<em>You have not tried Him, how do you know?</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<em>As a friend I've pointed you to Him,</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<em>I don't wish to force you to begin.</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<em>Find out if this is what you need,</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<em>Try him, and you will see.</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
If I try, I will see,</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
If I try, will you let me be?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<em>I will let you be, my friend,</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<em>It's your choice in the end.</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
Say, I like Jesus the Lamb!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
I do, I do, the Great-I-am!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
I believe, I believe, in a snare,</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
He can, He can, when all is bare.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
Out of the dark, now I can see,</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
How very good He is to me.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
I can taste sweet,</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
In or out of the heat.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
I walked through the door,</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
I can soar!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
I can be brave,</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
Say, He can save!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
See, now that I let Him in,</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
I am forgiven of all my sin.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
Yes! I say it today!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
Jesus is the Way!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
His table for two,</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
Has the best food.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
I can now see,</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
His best for me!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
I do so like Jesus the Lamb</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
Thank You! Thank You, Great-I-am!</div>

<em>"Do you know why I pulled you over?"</em></div>
<br />
"Yes, Mr. Cop, I know exactly why. I ran a red light. Why did I run the red light? I just want you to know that I'm a law abiding citizen, officer. I use my blinkers, drive the speed limit and most of the time I stop at red lights. Just to put your mind at ease, I always stop at the really big intersections. It is far too dangerous not to. The impact could be deadly! I would never risk my or anyone else's life by running a red light at the big intersections. To be honest, this little intersection does not have as many lanes so there was less of a chance I could get hit by cross traffic. The speed limit is lower and the road is not as busy as the street that is one block over. I didn't see any cars coming so the red light really didn't matter at that particular moment. Furthermore, I have never thought that a red light belonged at that intersection. I have my reasons for believing that. Thank you for listening to me and understanding where I am coming from. It's time for me to get on my way. Keep up the good work on getting the bad guys off the streets."<br />
<br />
<em>"I'm writing you a ticket for running the light, read it carefully. It will tell you what you need to do."</em><br />
<br />
For some reason my seriously flawed rationale kicks in just this way when it comes to some of God's red lights at life intersections. I think that my explanation is enough for God to allow me to continue on, skip the ticket and not attend traffic school. After all, He is such a loving and understanding God, He knows where I am coming from. To top it off, I can get annoyed and resentful when I experience the consequences.<br />
<br />
The light could be at an intersection of fear, anger, judgment, pain, stubbornness, impatience, disrespect, revenge, self-righteousness, hopelessness, depression or laziness. Sometimes the intersection feels more like being rejected, personally attacked or misunderstood. We face a choice to stop or speed through. If we ignore the light and let pain and stubbornness determine our reactions, God's spirit is not directing our paths. <br />
<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">An anxiety-ridden intersection can go something like this:</span><br />
<div style="color: blue;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: blue;">
With three hours of sleep, email and texts are already rolling in as the sun comes up. An event taking place in less than a week, details are being missed, too much to do in too little time, family is coming into town, no food in the kitchen, the house is a mess and the dog must have eaten something bad because his diarrhea is all over the house.</div>
<div style="color: blue;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: blue;">
God's spirit gives a red light. </div>
<div style="color: blue;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: blue;">
<em>STOP! You know to stop... Do not be anxious about anything! Present your request to God! Think of what is worthy of praise! STOP STOP STOP! Let me carry the burden.</em></div>
<div style="color: blue;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: blue;">
Run the light and let anxiousness take over. The Holy Spirit's lights flash to pull over. Fight the ticket.</div>
<div style="color: blue;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: blue;">
"Yes, Lord, I know why you pulled me over. I'm being anxious. I have not stopped, handed these things over to you and thought about what is worthy of praise. Now I'm feeling overwhelmed at what this day holds. I'm not a bad person though, remember every time my son was to have surgery a few years back? I trusted you Lord, prayed through that anxiousness and thought about the good You were doing. Our lives depended on my stopping at those big intersections. Compare this small intersection today to the four-lane happenings of just one street over! That person over there, he seems to worry about everything under the sun; I'm not like that! Please make sure things go well for me even through I ran the red light at this little insignificant intersection."</div>
<div style="color: blue;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: blue;">
A good dose of traffic school, straight from God's Word, to start thinking straight! Holy Spirit hands over the ticket that says what to do. </div>
<div style="color: blue;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: blue;">
Instead of looking at the ticket, stuff it in the pocket and add frustration to anxiety. Add stress to the frustration and anxiety, stress about daily things like cleaning up a spill, lines at the store and chronic pains. Stress affects mood. Being in a bad mood affects the treatment of who are around. Treating others poorly, with a bad attitude and with a short fuse, affects relationships and interactions. Anxiety also effects the body's immune system and how certain glands in the body release hormones so... you start to feel ill. </div>
<div style="color: blue;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: blue;">
"God, you're not helping me out here! Take the consequences of running the red light away!"</div>
<div style="color: blue;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: blue;">
Stop, finally look at the ticket to find out what to do, it reads, "Jesus has paid the price. Report to Philippians 4:6-8"</div>
<div style="color: blue;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: blue;">
<em>"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things." Philippians 4:6-8</em></div>
<br />
<br />
We should stop at every red light, spiritually speaking, because eventually we will hit or get hit from several angles. We should stop and let God direct our path.<br />

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Stopping is the first step. Dropping is the next.</span></div>
<br />
The other day I gave my daughter a red light when I noticed there was something we needed to address. As I was talking with her about what I really wanted her to grasp, I could see her glancing at the clock. She was waiting for the light to turn green. Eventually we finished up and I gave her the green light. Before the day was through, my daughter happened upon the same intersection and I gave her the same red light. As we talked the second time, I realized that earlier, as she was waiting for the green light, she was not really listening to me. There was a message and a lesson in the waiting. Because she did not pay attention to me, only the clock, nothing was gained.<br />
<br />
If we do not loosen our grip in waiting and pay attention to what God is saying, we will find ourselves at more red lights than we thought existed. Our destination might be right down the street, but we will catch every red light it takes.<br />
<br />
There are times when I sit at an intersection, my car is stopped but my mind is still going. I can be in my own little world that has not stopped at all. This is true of others as well. I have seen makeup applying, nose picking, teeth cleaning, song singing, food eating and paper grabbing. It really does not take much for someone to stop looking at the light and get honked at when it changes. <br />
<br />
It's easy to look at a red light as an opportunity to get something done or plan on how to get something done. When God gives us a red light, it's time to drop what keeps us preoccupied and prevents us from hearing God's voice. If we are waiting at a red light, there is purpose in the waiting.<br />
<br />
<em>"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." Jeremiah 29:11</em><br />
<br />
It's also easy to grow impatient when the waiting seems too long. We might lash out with, "God, I stopped, I'm ready to go. Come on. There are no other cars waiting, why am I still sitting here?"<br />
<br />
Sometimes God will not change the light unless He knows it is safe to proceed. If we push that peddle before God has worked out what must happen first, we will hit or be hit. Dropping is letting go of control and allowing God to have all control. Having a teachable heart and a willingness to trust God's way will always be the right way.<br />
<br />
<em>"The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance." 2 Peter 3:9</em><br />
<br />
The light could be at an intersection that can stem from a number of things: sin, heart issues, certain feelings, knowledge or perceptions just to name a few. The process of sanctification takes time and sometimes several attempts. <br />
<br />
Dropping it all at Jesus' feet allows God to work on our hearts and His spirit to direct our paths.<br />
<br />
<em>"I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect." Romans 12:1-2</em><br />

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Stop at the light, drop what hinders you, and then connect to God through prayer. </span><br />
<br />
Imagine yourself showing up to a meeting that you have spent hours getting ready for. After noticing a disconnection between department heads, your boss had asked everyone together to connect and hear about what was going on in the different parts of the company. <br />
<br />
As you walk in, a dozen or so co-workers are getting out their lap tops and devices. You find an empty seat and do the same. As the meeting time begins nobody says a word. Instead everyone starts typing, researching, making graphs and preparing tables. One person puts on headphones and listens to music. <br />
<br />
After 2 hours the meeting time expires, people put their things away and leave the room never having said a word. The time was spent together and they might have gotten some work done, but there wasn't any communication between the department heads. <br />
<br />
Do you think the boss' goals for the meeting were met? I'm guessing that everyone left without learning a single thing about each other. All of them leaving in the same place as when they arrived. I'm also guessing that nothing is going to change in the company, they will continue on, disconnected.<br />
<br />
You may never attend a silent meeting in your workplace, but this is what happens in our prayer lives when we sit at a red light in spiritual silence.<br />
<br />
Why Pray? Here are a few good reasons and great verses!<br />

Dear Lord, may we be cautious, safe and responsible at every intersection. </div>
<br />
Teach us to STOP. May we respect your red lights. Keep our hearts from excuses. Humble us when we need to be pulled over. May Your Word set us on the right path again and again.<br />
<br />
Teach us to DROP. May we drop what hinders us. Reveal to us the distractions that keep us from hearing You. May we know the purpose in every waiting season and turn to You for quiet moments. Give us teachable hearts so that we are not looking at the clock when we should be focused in on Your voice.<br />
<br />
Teach us to PRAY. May we talk with you often. Lift our heads away from our books, devices, schedules and games. When we show up to Your meetings, may we be hungry to connect with praise on our lips, ready to present our requests, eager to hear from You. Place on our hearts an overwhelming desire to understand what is going on in all of Your departments so that we can stay connected and in unity. May we continue to pray towards Your green lights.<br />
<br />
In Jesus Name iPray, Amen!<br />

<div class="p4">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
For Christmas my daughter received a crochet kit from her aunt. One glance at the kit took me back to when I was around her age when my great grandmother taught me to crochet. </div>
<br />
One summer I spent some time at my great grandmother's house. My sister and I became interested in the doilies she made from thread. <br />
<br />
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="151" hspace="5" name="ACCOUNT.IMAGE.25" src="https://files.ctctcdn.com/3ba59002201/ab3d2ebf-eed4-4360-b977-0da9e5a1001c.jpg?a=1119640246011" vspace="5" width="202" /> </div>
<br />
Soon we were engaged in a lesson, learning how to make a simple chain. Before we went home my great grandmother actually gifted my sister and I some thread and our very own crochet hooks. We were so excited and made some fun doilies of our own. After a handful of doilies and no instruction on how to grow in this craft, my excitement faded and it became a craft of the past.<br />
<br />
Do you know those gifts that you sort of wish gets pushed to the side and never really used? I hate to admit it but my daughter's crochet kit was one of them. Crocheting was a hard craft to keep up with for me. I mastered the chain and that was about it, but this kit had instructions to make all kinds of animals.<br />
<br />
The day after Christmas I heard my daughter talking to her brother. "Look at all the animals I'm going to make!" My son was now excited about her gift. "Can you make me a pig? I'd love a pig!"<br />
<br />
My daughter agreed and soon she was running to me and asking me to help her get started. Get started? You don't just sit down and start making a bunny rabbit, which was her first choice. First you have to learn the basics, how to hold the hook, maneuver the string and make a simple chain.<br />
<br />
I looked at my daughter and realized that I was to help her in using her gift.<br />

<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
The Christmas gift was not going to disappear, it was staying. A second chance at the craft of crocheting was inevitable. I could see my daughter's excitement matched the way I felt that summer at my great grandmother's house. I figured that this time around I would help my daughter succeed in making more than just a chain and a doily. We would create animals starting with a bunny!</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="220" hspace="5" name="ACCOUNT.IMAGE.28" src="https://files.ctctcdn.com/3ba59002201/8a796aed-25d8-49b7-86c6-4ba90149d56b.jpg?a=1119640246011" vspace="5" width="165" /> </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
We sat down and opened the kit. One thing in our favor was that it was a yarn kit with a larger hook. Yarn was easier to handle than thread. The instructional book said it was for beginners. It started with a five sentence paragraph on how to make a chain. I laughed, knowing that my daughter could have never figured out how to make a simple chain on her own, using only the description the book provided. I knew it would take some hands-on guiding. As I helped my daughter arrange her hands and start a chain she talked about making things for her grandparents and cousins we were going to see in a few short days for the new years.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
I gave a half promising response, "Yea, maybe. We'll see how this goes."</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
As she practiced her first chain she said, "Ok, what's the next step? When will it start looking like the bunny?" I glanced at the first picture of what our bunny project was to look like.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="232" hspace="5" name="ACCOUNT.IMAGE.29" src="https://files.ctctcdn.com/3ba59002201/bc16c4aa-c826-4055-9e3f-b7ceeae8d0b2.jpg?a=1119640246011" vspace="5" width="174" /> </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
Oh my!</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
I explained that she was just practicing for a bit and then we will start. I looked through the instructions and realized that I too needed more than what was in the book to help her along. Out came the computer and the internet for the hands-on training that went beyond my simple know-how. Step by step youtube videos came in handy and soon we were crocheting what we thought was going to be the top of the bunny's head. Only it wasn't looking like the picture.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="281" hspace="5" name="ACCOUNT.IMAGE.27" src="https://files.ctctcdn.com/3ba59002201/1a413488-8563-4a3f-97f8-f039705b7443.jpg?a=1119640246011" vspace="5" width="211" /> </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
Then we looked at a second video that gave us a little more instruction. Our stitch was looking better but still, it was not looking like the perfect half ball pictured in the book.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="274" hspace="5" name="ACCOUNT.IMAGE.30" src="https://files.ctctcdn.com/3ba59002201/6d189645-595b-40d2-8e2a-4c170343c921.jpg?a=1119640246011" vspace="5" width="206" /> </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
Hours had passed and my daughter was off doing something else while I tried to figure out what was going wrong. I didn't want to see the excitement fade so quickly so I searched the internet for better videos. After watching tons of instructions I found one that seemed to fit the bill. That day was done, but if my daughter still wanted to try this out we would start again the next day.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
The next day she seemed to be even more motivated to create. The failed attempts did not deter her. So I showed her the video I found on how to make Smileys.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">

<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">She almost jumped out of her skin. "Yes! That's it. We'll start more simple and make Smileys! We are not ready to make the animals, yet." After a quick scavenger hunt around the house for different colors of yarn we were at it again. My daughter also discovered that her Rainbow Loom hook was a close duplicate of the crochet hook. This time we sat side by side </span>crocheting<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> together.</span></span><br />
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
We learned how to keep the yarn loose enough to stitch into but tight enough to keep it together. We learned the terms and what they meant. Mistakes gave each creation character. After another full day of crocheting we managed to make two Smileys to give away. We even used our failed bunny attempt as a Smiley hat!</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: center;">

<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
The day before New Years Eve we were in the car for almost 6 hours. It was our goal to make at least two more so that my daughter could give two cousins, an aunt and her grandparents a Smiley. The two of us crocheted for the entire ride up. I helped her correct stitches, loosen up the yarn, tighten up miss stitches and add details. At times I had to finish up a few rounds to help get her back on track. When she felt sick from looking down I continued the project for her until she was able to start again. Our hands kept busy for the entire ride and as we pulled into my in-laws community we finished.</div>

<br />
She put each one into a small gift bag. Before running into the house she stopped. "Mom, can I tell them I did it all on my own?" I had done most of the work and the proud look on her face was worth every bit of it. I certainly didn't need any praise since this was a labor of love. I didn't want to see my daughter's excitement die like mine had.<br />
<br />
Silently I felt God's spirit show me the lesson.<br />
<br />
"Honey, you can tell them that we did this project together." I said, "Tell them that your mom helped you learn to crochet and make Smilies for them. They will give you the congratulations but also know that you had guidance."<br />
<br />
As much as I wanted to let her take all the credit I realized that she needed to learn to give credit to the one who taught her the skill, patiently helped her when her fingers didn't seem to do the right thing, encouraged her to stay calm when an entire row unraveled, took over when she couldn't go on and added the details that was beyond her beginner abilities. Throughout the process she came to me often, "Mom. can you sew the eyes? Can you make the mouth? Can you help me with the stuffing? Can you fix this yarn?" As I helped I watched her interest and excitement grow. When I fixed an accidental knot she ran to find buttons for eyes. As I sewed the eyes she found the right color yarn for the mouth. We were a team.<br />
<br />
My daughter knew that it was true. She smiled and said, "Okay. That sounds good, thanks for all of your help," and ran into my in-laws home with the Smilies in hand.<br />
<br />
My daughter had received a gift. Not knowing a thing about crocheting and how difficult it could be, she took it on. She did not push it aside. My daughter took instruction and advice along the way. She desired to use the new talent to give back to others. She let her imperfections give her project character. Along the way she realized what she did wrong and fixed it for the next round of stitching. I am so thankful that God did not let selfishness get weaved into the project. At a pivotal moment she was taught to give credit to her instructor and helper.<br />
<br />
That moment also gave me an opportunity to give credit in two ways.<br />
<br />
First, <span style="font-size: 12pt;">I can see that I was given an opportunity to lift her up, to let her stand as the creative drive and artist of each Smiley. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I knew something about crochet that helped her get started, took over making the project work and did most of the stitches for her. It would make sense to stamp my name on the whole thing and demote her credit to match her involvement. I didn't think of that in the moment because I knew this was her Christmas gift and I was joining her desire to create something to give away. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I could have easily told her to say I did most of it. Instead I instructed her to say she had help. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
What a great way to let selfishness fail, and selflessness win! It gave me an opportunity to lift up and honor another. To credit my daughter for what God was doing in and through her. Demanding credit I might have deserved would have killed her gift. I certainly didn't want to see the love for creating through crocheting die off like it did for me when I was her age.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Second,</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span>in helping my daughter give proper credit, I was speaking a spiritual truth into her life about giving God proper credit.<br />
<br />
God is the giver of our talents, gifts and interests. What can start as pure excitement and interest can easily take a selfish turn when we step away from a project and choose to take God's glory and honor as our own. Taking the credit away from Him or anyone else feeds selfishness. It also eliminates our God-testimony from our lives. When we walk away from a project, we should be pointing people to Christ.<br />

For just a moment I saw my daughter's gift as a burden. I let my own memories of crocheting get in the way. For just a moment I did not want this gift to take flight and instead wanted it to disappear, or be placed to the side or to be forgotten about. What a shame that would have been, and a missed opportunity to connect with my daughter that ultimately brought us closer to each other and closer to God's design. A missed opportunity to aid my daughter in using her gift to bless others.<br />
<br />
For just a moment my daughter felt complete ownership and forgot how much help she had received. If I had let her take all the credit, the help she received would have faded from her mind and been forgotten. The finished product would have been falsely advertised. If my help was left out, what would have happened if someone handed her yarn and a hook and asked to see the beginning steps to "crochet in the round" which she has yet to master? She would have come face to face with the hard reality that she set herself up as the go-to instead of giving credit to her go-to. <br />
<br />
Stealing credit from God does not point others to Him, it weaves selfishness into our projects and it does not produce the God-honoring testimony we were meant to share with the world.<br />
<br />
For just a moment we are given opportunities. How will you respond?<br />

Since God is the giver of our gifts and talents, the helper in the process, our go-to when our yarns get knotted and the perfecter of our faith...<br />
<br />
iPray that He will receive all Glory and Honor. <br />
<br />
iPray that before we run off to share our projects with the world, we will stop and ask God for guidance. That we will listen and trust His words. <br />
<br />
iPray that our hearts will be excited to give back to the world without selfishness getting in the way. <br />
<br />
iPray that when God gives us an opportunity to help another person in their gifts we will not hide away and miss the opportunity to bless another. <br />
<br />
iPray we will choose to promote others in their God-honoring works whenever given a chance, handing over credit without any "yarn" attached. iPray that we will be full of gratitude and become constant Christ Creditors in every project and in every way.<br />

When I was in third grade I gathered some caterpillars from the church yard where my grandparents worked. I created a habitat for them and invested hours into cleaning their cage, giving them fresh leaves to eat and making sure there were enough sticks and twigs for them to hang their cocoons from. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
All of that work for the moment to let them go and watch them become free. I enjoyed the journey, but I knew that ultimately I would be letting them go. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
I felt exhilarated to watch them fly off. One found a bush for a moment before taking off. Another flew off into the wind quickly. I tried to keep my eyes on them for as long as I could, before I couldn't see them any more. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
I remember I was also left with a little bit of strange grieving. A feeling of loss although I knew they were where they were ready to be. I didn't remove their habitat right away. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
After a week or so I noticed that at least one of the butterflies had returned. I didn't see the butterfly, but the butterfly had come back to its habitat and left eggs spread across one of the left over leaves. I felt overjoyed to know that the butterfly was alive and well. It was living just the way God intended.</div>

When I was in my mid-twenties at a camp ground, a trailer arrived with a bird's nest full of baby birds. Without realizing it, my dad's cousin had left a mommy bird wondering where her babies had disappeared to. She had tended to them perfectly, all five of them. They were healthy and waiting for her to give them food. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I remember my heart breaking at the thought of this mommy bird having to let go of her babies before they were able to fly away. I wondered if she watched the trailer drive off, and how long she was able to follow it. Could she have followed for the entire two and a half hour drive, all the way up the mountain where we were camping? </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After a full day of no mama bird I made it my mission to keep those little birds alive. With my niece's baby formula, bits of soggy bread and a straw, I answered their chirps for food. I continued at home and after two weeks they started spreading their wings for flight. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One morning, one by one they took off, clumsily making it to a nearby tree. I was sad that I couldn't help them like a mama bird could, and I prayed that God would take over. I heard their chirping in that tree for a couple of days and soon they were gone. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Again, a feeling of loss, letting go and wondering if they would be okay. The next spring I was astonished when a couple of birds came right back to my balcony and started making a nest near the place their box had been. By then I had a cat and it chased them away from the balcony, but for that spring I heard the birds in the nearby tree. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
Joy filled my heart knowing that they had lived! Would their mom ever know the full life they were able to live when she was forced to let them go? I thanked God for that glimpse of His sovereign design.</td></tr>

When my daughter was two we had a ladybug party for her. I ordered thousands of ladybugs that came with containers for the children and directions on how to let them go in their gardens. When I opened the ladybug boxes we watched thousands of ladybugs take flight. Many of them crawled on the grass before flying away. Some crawled all over our hands and arms. Others took off right away. It was a memorable experience and made for a great party. <br />
<br />
The children captured some to take to their own gardens. When they had some in their containers, I read The Lazy Ladybug. A storybook that told of a ladybug that found temporary homes that kept her from flying away. Eventually, after one of her "homes" sneezed, she was forced to fly away. I explained to the kids that their ladybugs needed to fly away to find their home. <br />
<br />
I could tell that many of the little ones would have a hard time letting them go when they got home. It is hard to let things go, but it is easier when we know that they need to go. <br />
<br />
That park was not known for ladybugs before that day, but God gave us another wonderful glimpse into his design. Every year since, that park has been full of ladybugs in the spring. Hundred of thousands fill the trees and at the right time of year you can walk past any tree and find ladybugs crawling on it. I know that none of the ladybugs we had let go that year are still alive, but I can see the beautiful result of their lives after they flew away.</div>

People? I have talked about living things with wings, can a person fly away? </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">

<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My parents put me and my </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">siblings</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> on a flight to California to visit our grandparents when I was seven. I remember being told that I had earned my wings. Really? Where were they? I certainly couldn't fly away with them. People's bodies can catch a flight that brings them from point A to point B, but in order to fly away we need to earn spiritual wings.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
In the 1980's my grandfather had a heart attack and with it a near death experience. He flew away for a brief moment, and came back proclaiming what many others have. That God is real, and He has a design. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
The experience was so powerful, he never again viewed this temporary habitat the same. A few times I have had the privilege of hearing him talk about the change that happened in him after that experience. He gained a deep realization of human imperfections coupled with the overpowering knowledge of grace, love and mercy as God's design. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
God gave him 30 more years. For the past few days loved ones have been gathering to say good bye and let him go, to permanently fly away. T<span style="background-color: transparent;">oday he earned his spiritual wings.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
Have you been by a loved ones side when it was time for their spirit to fly away? </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
It's a strange bittersweet moment when a loved one's spirit finds its flight into God's presence. I wonder if any language on earth has the words to express it just the right way. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
Today, I thank God for little glimpses. These little glimpses into God's beautiful design reminds me of how our bodies house a real spirit that are meant to someday fly away. A spirit that lives beyond this temporary habitat. Our spirits are designed to someday leave the nest. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
It makes me ask, "Am I prepared for this flight?" </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
Those on the ground grieve the loss and are left to trust God's design. With each fly-away, marks can be left that fill hearts with joy. Sometimes the mark can be seen "on a single leaf," other times it can be seen "filling the trees in a park."</div>

I
just got a call from my son, Fosi. It's lunch time at school and he
was still hungry after eating, a quick reminder of a snack I packed
solved the problem. Right before hanging up he said, "This is Fosi's
evil twin and Fosi is absent from school. Ok? Goodbye." At age ten
his love for creating stories and living them out invades every
conversation.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
For
years my son has been interested in story telling. In my 2011
Christmas letter I wrote, "He also writes his own books, his favorite
story-telling creations are a series called, "Golden Soot" where the
characters are animals." In my 2012 Christmas letter I wrote, "Being a
creative boy that loves to make stories and draw pictures, Fosi finds
ways to develop his Golden Soot series and map out his character's
journeys." In 2013 I wrote, "His love for creating stories and making
books was enhanced this year as he drew from his Disneyland
experiences." By the end of that year Fosi had created a company name,
movies, TV series, books, theme parks and more.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
Two
summers ago Fosi asked me to help him write and film his movie. We
started on a script and then stopped short. Last summer he had the idea
of doing a film camp where we could do scenes from his movie and his
sister, who loves to act, could be in it. It never happened. The
disappointment of two summers without a film project started to weigh
heavy on his heart. I did not want him to lose that drive, that
ambition and vision. I decided that I would do something to aid him in
learning how to tell his stories by buying annual passes to the giant of
movie-making theme parks, Universal Studios in Hollywood.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Visiting
Universal Studios has increased Fosi's drive to make his ideas come to
life, now he has vision like never before. "I want to film all of my
CrazyBopBoom movies on the Universal back lot, including the Golden Soot
series!" As the tram toured the sets I could see the stories running
wild in his head.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
That
passion to make something inside him come alive makes me think about
our own God stories. Each of us have them in there, waiting to come
alive. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
I
missed organizing a film camp for my son. Why let anymore
opportunities slip by? We should be getting annual passes that lights a
passion to tell our God-story.</div>

<div style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
A great example of someone living out their God-story is the talented writer Marshal Younger.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div>
Mr. Younger is a screenwriter with credits such as <a href="http://www.christianfilmguide.com/movie/adventures-in-odyssey-race-to-freedom-2003/?utm_source=October+2014+iPray&utm_campaign=Love+to+tell+God%27s+story&utm_medium=email" rel="nofollow" shape="rect" style="color: #0a4061; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Adventures in Odyssey: Race to Freedom (2003)</a>, <a href="http://www.christianfilmguide.com/movie/meant-to-be-2012/?utm_source=October+2014+iPray&utm_campaign=Love+to+tell+God%27s+story&utm_medium=email" rel="nofollow" shape="rect" style="color: #0a4061; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Meant to Be (2012)</a>, and <a href="http://www.christianfilmguide.com/movie/a-greater-yes-the-story-of-amy-newhouse-2009/?utm_source=October+2014+iPray&utm_campaign=Love+to+tell+God%27s+story&utm_medium=email" rel="nofollow" shape="rect" style="color: #0a4061; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">A Greater Yes: The Story of Amy Newhouse (2009)</a>.</div>
<div>
<br />
In these films, Marshal Younger helps present a clear God-story for
his audience. One that moves them to live a worthy life and to make
good strong choices. He has clearly used his gifting to set others on a
path of right choices.</div>
<div>
<br />
Perhaps the most intriguing example of Mr. Younger's commitment to
telling the story comes from a recent script I read of his. Unlike the
movies cited, the script was not labeled Christian. Nobody gets saved
and Jesus isn't even mentioned. So why do I see it as an intriguing
example?</div>
<div>
Not only was it entertaining, made me laugh out loud and allowed me
to think about the humor in my own daily life as a mom, what I enjoyed
the most was how the convictions if what he believes were not
compromised. It even highlighted the very real conflicts we face when
we strive to live lives of high moral value and presented an honest
God-honoring resolve. Marshal Younger told a story with great
conviction and honesty which ultimately adds to God's story.</div>
<div>
<br />
"Now I'm glad- not that you were upset, but that you were jarred
into turning things around. You let the distress bring you to God, not
drive you from him. The result was all gain, no loss." </div>
<div>
2 Corinthians 7:9 (The Message)</div>
<div>
<br />
In a world bent on selfishness and egos, all of us face the
temptations to conform. To build a "golden calf" and create our own
"festivals" out of fear of what might be done or said against us. </div>
<div>
<br />
"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by
the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve
what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will." </div>
<div>
Romans 12:2</div>
<div>
<br />
In Marshal Younger's script proposal he wrote, "At times, we will
be uncomfortable in our faith and in our family life. We are compelled
to make the uncomfortable choice, because it will lead us to gain."</div>

I
recently watched an interview with James Denton, known for his role on
Desperate Housewives, after his second roll in a Christian film. He
explained that he was attracted to the character, adding that it was a
coincidence that he had done two in a row.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<br />
In his interview Mr. Denton said, "I'm always very private about what I believe."</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<br />
Still
he was compelled to do these films when he was approached with
something that spoke to him. He explained why and how the two roles
attracted him. The first family film was about a father and daughter
that he wanted his kids to see. The other gave Mr. Denton the
opportunity to play the dynamics of a "bad guy". He also talked about
another film he would be doing with the same film makers.</div>

<br />
We
love to post publicly on social media the meals we just made, who we
are engaged to, the latest accomplishments made, how we are spending our
Friday night and so much more. It is in our nature to tell our stories
in some way or another. I believe that God provides us with compelling
opportunities to honor and trust Him by telling our God-story. When
that means stepping out of our comfort zone, God's love and purpose will
replace the fear and uncertainty.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<br />
James
Denton was invited to be a part of God's story and he said yes, even
when it opened doors for public (and possibly uncomfortable)
conversations about his faith. Marshal younger said yes as well. He
honors God in his story telling, with opportunities to have an affect on
a wide range of audience members. The story of what God has done and
is doing; the story of hope and freedom can be the most compelling thing
we want to share. Like my son, I want to have passion and a desire to
talk about my God-Story. With it on the front of my mind, I want the
story to invade my every conversation; I want to be ready to take action
when given the chance. I want a genuine love to tell the story.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<br />
Praise
the Lord that He values us greatly as His children, and helps us
overcome any fears in our lives. Our "story-telling" can oozes out from
the choices we make and how the positions, gifts and talents given to us
are handled. Let's not miss that every day we are given opportunities
to tell His story, even when we are working on something that is not
labeled "Christian." From our first "good morning" to our evening
"nighty nights."</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<br />
Let's love to tell the story!</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<br />
"I love to tell the story, 'twill be my theme in glory,</div>

what I want and desire. Most of the time when I ask God for something,
I'm not aware of what first has to happen in me. Why is it so hard to
grow up and out of bad habits? Sometimes I get resentful when God seems
to be urging me to change something I really don't feel like changing
while ignoring what I really want to talk about. </span></div>

kinds of sick items, Kaylee's room turned into the coolest place ever!
All of their friends would meet up at Kaylee's house and chill in her
room. She had a door bell, lava lamp and even a little disco ball.
Polk-a-dots were everywhere; on her bedspread, walls, ceiling and she
even had peal-n-stick spots on her window, making it the perfect "spot"
to hang out.<br /><br />Emma's room was babyish and had usually been a disaster. </div>
<br /> When Kaylee was over at Emma's house this past summer, Emma had
avoided hanging out in her room, knowing how inferior it was to
Kaylee's. Emma tried her hardest to make everything outside of her room
seem more interesting. She didn't feel like doing it, but she insisted
on throwing a softball around in her back yard. The last thing she had
wanted was for Kaylee to walk into her room and think that she was a
slob, or even worse, a baby with her My Little Pony bed covering.<br /><br />Her
efforts had been for nothing when a freakish summer flash flood had
singled out her house and Emma's mom had insisted the girls do
something indoors...in Emma's room. Emma had tried to think of other
options but she couldn't change her mom's mind without looking
desperate for no good reason. With a cringe Emma had lead Kaylee into
her kindergarten-style room. A painting of Elmo over her bed had never
looked more awkward in all her life. Kaylee had jokingly said that
she felt like a pony was about to eat her bottom as she sat on Emma's
bed. They had both laughed, but Emma really felt like crying.<br /><br /><div style="font-size: 12pt;">
After
Kaylee had left, Emma had what her mom likes to refer to as a
teen-centered emotional breakdown. "Mom, I can't believe you made me
sit in my room with Kaylee! Why couldn't we have just played Minecraft
on your computer in the kitchen?"<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
"Emma,
you know you didn't have any computer time left," Emma's mom had
patiently said while pointing to their earning chart on the
refrigerator, "I'm not going to change the rules just because Kaylee is
over."</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br />"But mom! It was like
showing up to school in my underwear, having to walk Kaylee into my
plain, white-walled room with clothes scattered around and embarrassing
pictures of my naked two-year-old body in the bathtub displayed like
a..." Emma had struggle for the right word, "...like an award, framed
and on my dresser. I hate my room, it makes me look like a nerdy kid
who can't grow up."</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
"Would you like to change your room?"</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br />"YES!" Emma's heart had filled with hope.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
"Okay,
if you can keep it clean for a whole month then we will give it a make
over." Her mom's words had dampened Emma's hope, how could she do
that? "As for Kaylee, she has been your friend for years and I don't
think she sees you as a nerdy kid who can't grow up just because your
walls are white and you have some memorabilia displayed." <br /><br />Emma
didn't think her mom had understood. She hadn't asked Kaylee to come to
her house for the rest of the summer. But now she wanted to create an
opportunity to casually inform Kaylee that she too had stylish ideas
and that they were about to be set free.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br />Although
Emma's room was still lacking style, it had been clean for over a
month and she had been dying to redeem herself after Kaylee's last
visit over the summer! Emma couldn't wait to show Kaylee her bedroom and
give her the exciting news.<br /><br />This morning Emma had made her bed
but carefully flipped her bed covering over so that the pink cartoon
pony was prancing out of sight. She had looked around at her babyish
room but this time she was not as embarrassed. Kaylee had been
bothering her about coming over, Emma thought of every excuse in the
book, waiting for just the right moment where she could truly redeem
herself. <br /><br />The time had arrived. They were well into the new
school year and Emma finally asked Kaylee to come over. There they
were, heading up the stairs towards Emma's room.<br /><br />As Emma and Kaylee walked into her room, Emma watched Kaylee for any sort of reaction.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
"Emma, your room is clean!" Kaylee said.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br />"I
know, I was really busy last time you were here and that is why it was
so messy." Emma knew Kaylee could see she was fibbing.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
"It
was summer the last time I was here," Kaylee interrupted, "you're more
busy now with all the softball games you have every single weekend. We
barely found time for me to come over today because you are always at
practices."</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br />"Okay, the truth
is I wanted to redo my room. It was not really reflecting my stage of
life or my personality. My parents informed me that I couldn't do any
major make over until I could first prove to keep my room in order. I
guess leaving a few socks on the ground turns it into a pigsty, and if I
don't make my bed it's like a tornado just hit."</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
Finally, Emma got to say it without saying it...<em>I'm not a slob and this room does not reflect who I am!</em></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br />"I know what you mean." Kaylee responded. </div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<em>What? Kaylee could relate? </em></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br />Kaylee
continued, "My mom gets on me just because I take off my socks at night
while I'm sleeping but in the morning I forget they are under the
covers and I just make my bed right over top of them."</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
Emma
laughed like she understood completely but was secretly thankful Kaylee
had never seen the pile of clothes that used to reside on the other
side of Emma's bed. Last time Kaylee was over she had skillfully
covered the pile with her grandmother's quilt, the one made from all of
Emma's old baby clothes. Thank goodness Kaylee had never wondered what
was under the quilt that rose higher than her mattress. Emma had kept
Kaylee focused on their last school yearbook, making constant comments
about pictures and events. </div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br />Kaylee
went on, "I kick my socks off in my sleep all week and when my mom is
taking my sheets off to wash them she's like, 'Kaylee, why on earth are
there a pile of dirty socks under your covers?'"</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
It was nice to hear that Kaylee had bad habits too. "Socks piled under your covers, that's hilarious." Emma said.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br />"Yea. I tell my mom that I'm half asleep, I don't know what I'm doing."</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
"Me
too," Emma agreed, "I mean I wasn't half asleep but I tried to tell my
mom my side too! At first I was like, 'This is my room. I should be
able to keep it the way I want.' So I didn't make any effort to change
my 'bad habits.' Why would I make my bed just to show off a My Little
Pony bedspread?" </div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br />Emma
lifted part of her bedspread to reveal the butt-eating pony hiding on
the underside and made some eating sounds. Emma and Kaylee burst out in
laughter as Kaylee pretended to be scared of the pony.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
"Seriously
Emma, when I came into your room over the summer I was a little jealous
that your mom didn't make you spend hours cleaning your room."</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br />Emma
felt a relief come over her, Kaylee had not judged her. Emma continued
talking as she put the pony back in it's place. "Well, I figured that
at some point my parents would see that I am a grown teen now and would
have to support that. After a few days of standing my ground I casually
brought it up at dinner, I just said, 'You know, a fresh coat of paint
would really clean up my room.'"</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
"What did they say?" Kaylee asked.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br />"Mom casually responded, 'Paint has nothing to do with keeping your room clean.'"</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
"Awe, she's good!"</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br />"I
know!" Emma agreed, "Maybe she doesn't make me clean my room but she
sure does know how to guilt me about it being messy. Summer was almost
over and I just couldn't see myself cleaning up after a tornado so I
said, 'Mom, can't I keep my room as tidy as my personality? You know
the personality that would rather get her homework done?'"</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
Kaylee laughed, "Good one," which gave Emma the green light to continue with her story.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br />"My
mom didn't even skip a beat, she's like, 'It's time to grow up Emma.
You can't ask for teenager privileges without being willing to
demonstrate the responsibilities that come with them,' and I was like,
'If making my bed every single day and keeping clothes off the ground is
growing up, then I won't grow up! I'll just stay the way I am and at
the same time I want a room that reflects my mature age!"</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
Kaylee's
laughter tapered off as she thought about what Emma just said. She
just stared at Emma, confused. "That makes no sense. How are you going
to get a new room if you don't want to grow up?"</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br />"I
know," Emma quickly said, thinking of a way to redeem herself. "Right
when it came out of my mouth I thought the same thing. You sound like
an idiot! My dad couldn't let my lame statement just slide, 'Honey," he
said, "you got it!"</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
Kaylee
looked satisfied with Emma's answer. Emma sat down on her bed and
looked around. "Yea, he was right. I wanted a room that reflected my
maturity and in that moment I realized that I had a room that reflected
my maturity."</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br />"So what did you do?" Kaylee asked.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
"It
turns out that picking up after myself and pulling my covers up every
morning was not so hard." Emma said, "In fact, I started to care about
what was out of place in my room. After my brother, Conner, borrowed my
book the other day I asked him to put it back in the right place and
not just throw it on my bed..and that's something my mom would say!"</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br />"Yea
it is! It's annoying but it's probably good my mom makes me clean my
room." Kaylee said, "I need to just check under my covers for socks
before I make my bed in the morning. The socks make it look like my
covers are all squished down there."</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
Emma
chuckled but continued on so she could get to what she really wanted to
say. "So last weekend my parents came to me and let me know that I had
been doing a great job in keeping my room all tidy... yada yada yada...
and went on about how a child talks like a child, thinks like a child
and reasons like a child... blah blah blah... and that they were proud
to see me maturing, and putting my childhood ways behind me, and so
on..."</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br />Emma trailed off and
almost forgot that she was trying to impress Kaylee. At that moment she
realized a mature change had taken place. She didn't need to act like
she was just as put together as Kaylee, she really was just as put
together as Kaylee and even more so maybe. Emma realized that she
didn't have socks hiding anywhere, like under the covers. She realized
that didn't have a clean room because her mom made her clean it, she had
a clean room because she wanted it that way.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
"It
felt sorta good to hear it," Emma said as if she was talking to herself
more than she was to Kaylee. "It was nice, making them proud of me
like that. I guess I will grow up."</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br />Emma
looked at her bookshelf with all of her books in line. She thought
about the day her softball game was canceled and she had spent all day
straightening her room. She had found some of her favorite books hiding
under her bed. One book she had gotten at the beginning of the summer
and she found it still in the bag it came in. She had been looking
forward to reading that book all summer and had forgotten where she put
it. The summer had passed and she didn't even get to open it.
Yesterday she didn't have much homework and when her mom said to go read
in her room, there it was on the shelf, standing straight up in perfect
view with all of her other books. She didn't have to search for it or
settle for a book she really didn't care to read. She read for 70
minutes straight and had a hard time putting it down when Conner had
peeked in and said, "Mom says dinner is ready." How's that for a reward
for having a clean room, where she can find whatever she wants in two
seconds flat!</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
"Emma." Kaylee's words brought Emma back to earth.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br />"Sorry,"
Emma remembered what it was she wanted to announce to Kaylee for almost
a week, "what I'm trying to say is I'm old enough to say that I'm a
teenager, and apparently I'm also mature enough for a new bedspread and a
fresh coat of paint! Yes, that's right, this weekend I only have one
softball game and it's really early in the morning so we are going to
give my room a real teenager make-over!"</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
Emma
jumped off the bed and grabbed Kaylee's hands to cheer. Kaylee did not
miss a beat in the excitement of getting a bedroom make-over. They
both jumped around in circles.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br />"I love bedroom make-overs!" Kaylee shouted, "What are you going to do to your walls?"</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
"I think I'll go black, with white stripes. Or maybe white with black stripes. "</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br />"What? How are those different?" Kaylee said playfully, she caught the humor of Emma's statement and it made Emma feel great.<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
"Either way, I know it's going to be slick and clean!" Emma said.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br />"For sure! We should make a design, that's what I did when I came up with my room's theme."</div>
<div style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br />For
the rest of the afternoon Emma and Kaylee huddled around Emma's iPad
looking for inspirational pictures to design her new grown-up teenager
room. Emma was super excited, she thought that maybe, just maybe, her
room would end up being a hang-out "spot" as well.</div>

process of change is the hard part, but God is so good to hold our hand
every step of the way, making it completely possible. Isn't it great
that He does not give up on us? We can look back and realize that we
are not who we used to be and recognize God's whispers, saying that He
is proud of us. </span></div>

Today, <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1697976849" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Monday</span></span>
Septmeber 8, 2014 she has again shared a charge for women around the
world. It's all about taking the weaknesses that Satin uses against us,
handing them over to God and allowing Him to change us completely! Dead
to sin and alive in Christ! It's about living in unity with other
women so that we may encourage one another and find victory over our
strongholds!<br />
<br />
I see it as God's daughters "growing up" in our faith walk. Be encouraged by Michelle Swanepoel's words.</div>

<i>Good morning, </i></div>
<div style="color: #001a81; font-family: Times New Roman,Times,Serif; font-size: 11pt;">
<br />
<i>I realize that we are on a journey so I would like to share with you the things that God is showing me along the way.</i></div>
<div style="color: #001a81; font-family: Times New Roman,Times,Serif; font-size: 11pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #001a81; font-family: Times New Roman,Times,Serif; font-size: 11pt;">
<i>This
morning God said that we are His secret weapon....He made me recall
that in the Garden of Eden the devil used Eve's "weaknesses" to lure
her into sin and that caused many repercussions .....but nothing that
God is not able to change so that His glory will still be revealed at
the end.</i></div>
<div style="color: #001a81; font-family: Times New Roman,Times,Serif; font-size: 11pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #001a81; font-family: Times New Roman,Times,Serif; font-size: 11pt;">
<i>So,
if our weaknesses or let me call it vulnerable side (need for love,
need for beauty, need to be spoiled, need to want to manipulate and
control....at times, etc.) gave the devil a foothold into our choices
-then guess what - this is exactly what God is going to use to bring
total restoration and healing by showing the devil that He did not have
victory, but that Jesus has covered us in our weakness and that Jesus
will help us overcome and make us stronger and able to not fall for his
ploys the second time around. What is amazing is that we as women are
weak when we are alone.....and that is why God says that he wants women
to stand together, to support each other and to help each other get
through the trying times so that we can all become the mighty force that
He is busy creating to bring about massive changes in His kingdom. So
expect to be challenged in all the areas that have been mentioned
above....your beauty routine, your identity as a women, wife, mother,
friend, daughter, manager, employee, your expectations in terms of
romance and love, your needs in terms of the way your home should look,
the way you spend money, they way you serve in your community or your
church, your current ministry, your role as a friend, the way you think
about food, cooking, health and fitness, they way you spend your time -
the way you crave acceptance and acknowledgement or perfection and
performance or achievement, expect to be challenged in the deepest
thoughts, feelings and emotions - don't run from this process - allow
God to meet you there - then be still and just listen to Him as He
gently washed away all of the pain, all of the hurt all of the layers
and masks and false security blankets that you carry. Allow Him to
cleanse you and purify you completely - because you know what - you are a
vessel of glorious proportions - you are a vessel that has the
capacity to carry God's beauty and glory and you are the vessel that
God is using to change this world. If you submit to God for this - God
WILL change your world through YOU - you will be healed, your family
will be restored, where you go - God's light will change the atmosphere
- and ALL things that you desire (because God has given us dreams and
desires) will be fulfilled by God alone. Seek ye first the kingdom of
heaven and ALL things will be passed onto you - do you understand the
sequence of events that needs to take place? Can you make this your
own? Are you willing? You are not alone.....yes, God is removing
loneliness from off us!</i></div>
<div style="color: #001a81; font-family: Times New Roman,Times,Serif; font-size: 11pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #001a81; font-family: Times New Roman,Times,Serif; font-size: 11pt;">
<i>Have
you read the book "Lioness arising" by Lisa Bevere? She studied female
lions and how they live and especially how they hunt - they never hunt
alone.....they always team up with other lionesses and then they
become a force to be reckoned with. She describes the lioness character
so beautifully, especially also with regards to the love and
tenderness they have for their children and then also the respect they
have for the male lion (Jesus).</i></div>
<div style="color: #001a81; font-family: Times New Roman,Times,Serif; font-size: 11pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #001a81; font-family: Times New Roman,Times,Serif; font-size: 11pt;">
<i>I
am in no way discrediting the role of our husband or of men - in fact,
God needs us to become the pure vessels so that He can heal the men
and also our children - we have been given the ability to give
birth....do you realize that this is a gift that God want to use to
birth newness, light , peace, love, joy - He wants us to birth in the
Spirit.....please don't get me wrong - but I think many of us women
have wasted so much time trying to find fulfillment in our
husbands....and often walking away more hurt and more disappointed. I
woke up this morning and asked God to fill up all the places that are
empty and that I always want my husband to fill - so that I can be a
full vessel in my family and just shine God's light and grace and glory
- until my entire family is filled with His light. I want to be able
to love my husband the way God loves me - but that means that I need to
let go of my idea of love and marriage and let God change me to become
who He wants me to be. I need to shift my focus off my husband and
totally onto Jesus. Yes, it sounds like strang that we have heard so
many times before - but God wants it to become practice not just theory
anymore. And you know what - my desire for a physical experience of
God is busy manifesting - we as women are becoming God's physical
manifestation - we are becoming His hugs, His gentle and encouraging
words, His caring and tender presence when we feel alone, His
acceptance when we feel rejected, His provision when we feel poor and
hungry.</i></div>
<div style="color: #001a81; font-family: Times New Roman,Times,Serif; font-size: 11pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #001a81; font-family: Times New Roman,Times,Serif; font-size: 11pt;">
<i>So
God challenged me to let go of all bitterness and unforgiveness
towards any woman that has ever hurt me - our strength as women is held
in working together and sticking together - not in criticizing,
back-biting and being jealous of each other. I challenge everyone of
you to look at your lives - how many women have you written off - what
if those women are the warriors that you need to fight with - ask the
Holy Spirit to guide your thoughts to every single situation where
another woman was involved - repent, ask for God's forgiveness and
let's stop giving the devil the power to destroy our unity as women -
let's allow God to form His Bride through us - God promises us so much -
is our hurt more important than the task at hand? Can you honestly sit
down in front of God and say - My hurt is much more than the task you
have for me......lay down your hurts my special friend - I know it
hurts, I know the pain is so deep, I know that we as women have been
beaten and battered - the devil has made a right mess of us.....but
God's word also says that when we are weak then He is strong and that
He creates Beauty from Ashes....are you willing to expose your every
hurt to God the Father? Do not be afraid - God will bring all the
support you need - you are not alone.</i></div>
<div style="color: #001a81; font-family: Times New Roman,Times,Serif; font-size: 11pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #001a81; font-family: Times New Roman,Times,Serif; font-size: 11pt;">
<i>I feel this incredible sense to bring us together - I hope you are willing to join hands and walk with us.</i></div>

I was to test for my next Karate belt in a few short days. At my last class before testing a fellow student watched me review my one steps, forms, defenses as well as my hands and feet combinations. <br />
<br />
"I feel like I've got this but at the same time I hope I remember everything." I confided.<br />
<br />
He said, "I know what you mean." He went on, "It's funny because I feel like I know so much as I prepare for testing. I'm confident on test day, but after I promote up and start to work on the next belt level, I am immediately reminded of how much I do not know and how much more there is to learn. It all starts again."<br />
<br />
The reality of that one statement sent my mind on a journey. When are we ever in a place where we know everything there is to know? God prepares us for each season so that we can perform the duties and tasks of the present belt around our waist with the ability to confidently promote up to the next. By staying focused and dedicated to mastering the requirements, the present belt's completion will end with a culmination of one belt and the beginning of another. The learning process starts again.<br />
<br />
When test day came I felt ready. "I've got this!" Confidence seemed to beam from my every pore while another part of me didn't want to mess up. "I hope I remember everything." Most of the elements I had repeated a number of times and the delivery felt natural. One element I had only recently learned but it was fresh in my mind. I knew what was going to be asked of me and I was ready!<br />
<br />
As the testing began I performed each task. Until a weaponry defense was asked of me that I had not yet learned. My partner went first and performed perfectly. I couldn't believe that I was being tested on something I had not learned. I did the best I could to copy what my partner had done before me, relying on the awareness I had gained from my training. After the test I stood up tall, hoping that the one unknown element would not make everything else I knew and worked so hard for stand for nothing. <br />
<br />
My name was called. I approached my Sensei.<br />
<br />
"Congratulations." I was presented with a new belt. <br />
<br />
"What an accomplishment," I thought.<br />
<br />
Then the moment was flavored with new information. Before the promotion had a chance to set in, my Sensei gave a summary of what I would be required to learn and achieve while wearing my new belt. "You will have new forms, kicks, weaponry..."<br />
<br />
As I listened I realized my moment of excitement seemed brief. I held everything I needed to know just a moment ago. In a matter of minutes I was being told of new things I would be required to master. There was work to be done!<br />
<br />
"Always a student," I thought. "No room for a cocky know-it-all attitude. Not in training, nor in testing, and especially not when promoting up."<br />
<br />
After the promotion I took pictures and was congratulated but in the back of my mind I knew that with the new belt also came new challenges, additional layers of knowledge and a new set of requirements that must be achieved. <br />
<br />
Life is full of promotions. Walking into High School for the first time, getting a first job, getting married, or my latest promotion, becoming a mom of a middle schooler. God's training and our preparations include all kinds of elements. Many times we are not even aware that what we are learning is related to a promotion, but it usually is. The testings are rarely a predictable experience. Rather they always seem to contain some unknowns. Promotions bring excitement and joys flavored with the knowledge of new challenges and amazing life lessons to come. <br />
<br />
When I look at past belts, I am excited at all God has achieved in and through me. It reminds me of God's faithfulness, how I can trust His training in my life to see me through every test, and if I can get past those belts then surely I can master all that is involved in wearing the next.<br />

<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Prepared...</span><br />
<br />
Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were in the middle of being typical teenagers unaware that they were in training, preparing for belts they never dreamed they would have to wear. The boys were soon stripped from the life they had known, taken from their homes and became slaves in the courts of Nebuchadnezzer. They were forced to obey, respect and humble themselves to the ones that enslaved them. During a three year training period the boys received an education that would determine where their services would land.<br />
<br />
God allowed Daniel and his friends to excel in their training. It must have been difficult to be educated by a people that did not fear or know God. Still the boys humbled themselves and worked as if they were working for God. He had mighty plans for them to be an example of faith and devotion to Him over man, even while they were serving men. Can you imagine how easy it would be to slowly let your guard down and compromise in thoughts and actions while gaining in status? Instead, when it came to the things that they felt would cause them to sin against God, the boys stood strong and promoted up to the next belt.<br />
<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Tested...</span><br />
<br />
The first test we read about comes when the boys were given food designed to keep them healthy and strong but Daniel felt that eating it would defile themselves before God. When Daniel asked if they could eat only vegetables their caregiver knew it would be the end of him if the boys started to become weak as a result of the food they were not eating. God gave Daniel the courage to ask if they could be tested for 10 days, eating only the vegetables. If they became weaker then they would eat the food they were told to eat, but if they were not weaker they could eat how they wished. God showed favor to them! Not only did the caregiver agree but at the end of 10 days Daniel and his friends were stronger and healthier than all the other servants. They were allowed to continue to eat in a way that honored God and they were promoted up.<br />
<br />
Next we hear about how the boys were educated in Neb's way and God gave them discernment, knowledge, understanding in what they had to learn, Daniel even had the gift of understanding visions. At the end of the three years Neb could not find any men equal and they went into high service. The test came when Neb had a dream that none of his men could figure out. Daniel was brought before him as one who could interpret. Daniel boldly gave God all the credit as the one who would reviled the meaning of the dream. Daniel and his friends asked for God to give the meaning and He did. Daniel gave God the credit and the glory for He had given him the answers. Daniel was promoted up.<br />
<br />
In karate, a white belt would never test for a black belt without first passing the other colored belts. They would fail the test. God built Daniel and his friends up to the point that they could trust God over the threat of loosing their very life. Several times Daniel was plotted against, his faith used against him to eliminate his influence and his life, yet his faithfulness always ended with a new "belt". (See <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel+6&version=NIV&utm_source=August+2014+iPray&utm_campaign=iPray+eVotional&utm_medium=email" linktype="1" rel="nofollow" shape="rect" style="color: #0a4061;" target="_blank" track="on">Daniel 6</a>) He was continually promoted up!<br />
<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Promoted Up...</span><br />
<br />
It really doesn't matter how wonderful they performed to Nebuchadnezzer because Daniel and his friends remembered that ultimately they were to obey God. Although they gained so much favor and were put in the highest place of service that many would only hope for, they remembered that it was God who held the authority to promote up.<br />
<br />
The Bible tells us that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego made the choice not to bow to a statue made by human hands. Worshiping anything other than God was idol worship to them. A law was passed that whoever did not bow would die. They did not have to cause a riot or turn tables, all could see the stand they made. Many around them were astonished at their boldness to show that they would only bow to God at the risk of facing death. That it was not out of disrespect to the earthly people they were serving, but out of respect and obedience to their God.<br />
<br />
The boys obeyed God first and accepted the consequence for not bowing to Nebuchadnezzer and were put into the fire for not bowing. In all earthly understanding they deserved it. No matter the high position they were in and how great Nebuchadnezzer once thought they were, it was the consequence. The king was furious and his attitude toward them changed. What kind of promotion was this?<br />
<br />
As they were in the fire they did not burn and God showed His presence with them while in there. The King was surprised and humbled to the point of recognizing that no other God could save in this way. God set things right not at the point of not bowing, but at the point of full submission and climbing into a fire raised to a heat that no man could bare, so that He could be seen.<br />
<br />
The Bible tells us that the boys were again promoted up.<br />

A stop sign means
stop, it's at many street corners. An exit sign tells of a way to get
off or out, you can find it at freeway off ramps and in parking lots.
There are many common signs that give us direction and we are
conditioned to follow them without effort.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Sometimes we come
across less frequent signs, like Falling Rock. What does this one
mean? Where does it pop up and what does it alert a driver to do?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
I know the
answers! My father told me all about it when I was young. Falling Rock
is a wise old Indian that is very swift. To this day he lives in the
thick of the forest and lives off the land. Whenever you see one of
those signs, it is a spot where Falling Rock has been spotted. If you
look around you might see him too. The best places to spot him would be
on mountain sides.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Don't believe me?
Of course you don't. But every time I see a Falling Rock sign I'm not
thinking about rocks near the road that may be sitting on unstable
foundations and I'm not driving with an awareness that may help quicken
my reaction if a boulder does happen to fall. To this day I am
conditioned to let my imagination about an Indian take over.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
My father
certainly made what could have been a boring ride up a mountain a lot
more interesting. I remember focusing on the road to spot every Falling
Rock sign. Each time I spotted one I tried to catch a glimpse of the
tricky fellow and then I'd draw conclusions of how he might have first
been seen there.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
At one spot
Falling Rock must have been climbing steep rocks looking for snakes and
bugs to eat when a hiker saw him. At another spot he must have climbed
out of a hidden cave when a small plane flew by. Further down the road
there was a lake, he could have been spotted by a hunter while coming
back from fly fishing. </div>

<div style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
There
are many signs God gives us that should prompt us to be prayerful. The
obvious signs get us praying right away. Someone is in the hospital,
we pray. Another person is fighting depression, we pray. There are
also less obvious signs that we are wrongly conditioned for. That is
when we tend to let the tall tales from society determine how we react. </div>
<div style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
For
example, when I was really young I remember a particular adult in my
life responding to a weakness in another. He managed to not only
humiliate the other but to make himself appear to be the better one.
This was not the right way to respond to a sign that read, "Falling
Apart." His tactic was a tall tale on how to edify and sadly I became
conditioned to it. It took many years of scriptures, prayers and God's
spirit to turn this sort of thinking around in my life.</div>
<div style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
The
other day, I again struggled with how I should react to the sign,
"Falling Apart." I sat at a restaurant with a waitress that was
obviously having a very hard day as it was reflective in her service as
well as her attitude. </div>
<div style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
She
was falling apart. A sign designed to initiate a heart of mercy and
prayers for God to be the glue she needs. I knew to pray, not only for
her good but for my own spiritual safety as well. I was starting to see
the foundations of a judgment boulder of how a waitress should treat a
customer loosen up in my heart. </div>
<div style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
A
part of me wanted to point a certain mistake out to her, so that she
would not do the same thing to the next customer. I thought about
praying for her but didn't and chose to point out her flaw. </div>
<div style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Instead
of being a part of what puts people back together, I just loosened up
the gravel a little more! Then the boulder fell, I appeared so much
better than she did since a falling rock never falls pretty. </div>
<div style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
God
could see right through my words and straight to my heart. Like the
Falling Rock sign and the pretend Indian story, a sign of weakness
caused me to imagine a false scenario of superior knowledge in how
others should or should not handle the stresses in their life. My
waitress was falling apart and I chose to point it out instead of being a
blessing to her.</div>
<div style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
I
knew nothing about my waitress but as I drove away I knew that I needed
to stop talking about her weaknesses to justify my actions and start
covering her in prayer. My flesh wanted to pray like this, "Lord, help
her use common sense with her customers." That was not right. Praying
our own motives over another is never right. I needed to pray God's
will. "I'm sorry for not praying sooner. Help her with her troubles.
May she see You, Lord, as the solution to her troubles." It still felt
sort of weak. I didn't know her so that was as far as I got.</div>
<div style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
After
returning home a little pamphlet on my shelf caught my eye. It was a
tool I received years ago that can be used to cover a person in prayer.
To pray over the very foundations of a person's life! I've used it
several times to pray over family members. In 1989 Deborah Doggett's
then 14 year old daughter was away from home. Her daughter was a
student at the Black Forest Academy in Germany while Deborah was in the
United States. Deborah's heart cry was to intercede on her daughter's
behalf. While she couldn't be right there with her for her day to day
needs, God responded by showing her how to cover her daughter in prayer
from head-to-toe. In this pamphlet she shares how she literally prayed
for her daughter from head-to-toe, starting with her head and ending
with her feet.</div>
<div style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
How can I reverse my initial reactions to the sign? Pray for the foundations that need to be constantly stabilized, pray from head-to-toe!</div>
<div style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
In
her book Praying for your Husband From Head to Toe, Sharon Haynes talks
about this idea when she writes, "For most couples, life is just
daily. However, the accumulation of small struggles can nibble like
termites to undermine the foundation of what appears to be a healthy
structure just as surely as an earthshaking rumble of sudden disaster."
She goes on to describe an effective way to pray for a husband,
starting with his head and moving all through his body, right down to
his feet, making sure that the prayers are in line with God's word.</div>

Praying
from head-to-toe is not an exclusive tool to use for those we live
with, it can be used for anyone! It's for those we don't really know,
like the waitress I recently had. It's for when distance keeps us from
knowing the daily things our loved ones are encountering, like Deborah
Doggett's daughter in 1989. It's for the hard-to-pray-for people, who
don't even want it. It's for when strong emotions and opinions get in
the way of praying the way God wants us to.</div>
<div style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Some
will never know how you have covered them, but these prayers play a
part in God's working in their lives as well as our own. When we don't
know how to pray outside of the obvious boulders, this head-to-toe
format comes in quite handy in praying right at the foundation of their
lives and praying over every pebble as little as it may seem. </div>

<span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">When you see the sign, </span><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">think on your toes! S</span><span style="font-size: small;">ave your pretend Indian stories for your next essay and abandon your faulty accusations of knowing better. Instead </span><span style="font-size: small;">pray, from head to toe.</span></div>

For the past two weeks I have been trying to put into words what God is doing in my heart. After thousands of words on a number of documents I decided I couldn't capture it. Today Ifinally said, "I give up."<br />
<br />
Have you ever given up? Just threw in the towel? Lost hope? <br />
<br />
I started to raise the white flag when God reminded me of a story from my past.<br />

<tr><td align="left" colspan="1" rowspan="1"><br />Imagine looking down at your wedding ring and the largest diamond was missing! That is just what happened in February of 2010 as I was dropping my son Frederick off at school. I looked down and it was gone, prong and all. My heart skipped a beat! I had to look away and then back again to make sure I was actually witnessing that giant void! I certainly was. Where could it be? Shock set in. <br />
<br />
When I got home I went straight to my room thinking maybe it came off while I was sleeping. Stripping the bed I realized how impossible this task seemed to be. With all the millions of places it could have fallen, to spot that little guy in all the space of our world just seemed impossible. It would be like finding a needle in a haystack. A diamond in the rough.<br />
<br />
"God, how on earth am I going to find this?" I asked as I sat down on my bed. "You know where it is, you can see it right now. But to me it seems impossible for it to just 'show up'". As the words were still on my lips I looked down and saw a little something on the ground. <br />
<br />
A flicker of hope stirred my heart. I reached down and picked up a little fake diamond from one of my daughter's rings. Big sigh! A wanna-be diamond with no value at all. How ironic. "You do have a sense of humor, Lord." I placed it in the palm of my hand and spoke as if it had ears, "I've never seen you before." It could have been vacuumed, thrown away or in a corner somewhere but instead it was right there in plain view for me to discover at that exact moment. <br />
<br />
I sensed God speaking to my heart, "Nothing is impossible for me. Your true diamond will be found."<br />
<br />
"I won't give up hope," I said out loud, "I'll keep searching."<br />
<br />
At first I was on a quest! Not a frantic one, but a diligent one! A pursuit in finding what God says is findable. But after exhausting all possible hide outs I found myself shifting, like the hunt was ending. Maybe I would just stumble upon it one day, hopefully before it is replaced.<br />
<br />
Hope has a way of fading doesn't it? I mean I can anticipate, trust, expect and even wish for something unseen like a lost diamond, a certain job or a restored relationship. I can be optimistic, dream, desire and even plan for when the time might arrive... as soon as I find that ring... when I write that book... as soon as I am sanctified. But hope dwindles fast when the dreadful combination of time and human impossibility comes together. I am a woman of faith, right?Yet my time, devotion and focus can wander off. There are areas in my life where I settle for counterfeit identities and forget the promise of royalty that comes with being a child of the most high king. My lack of patience in seeing a promise fulfilled holds my faith captive again and again. My expectation of a diamond revealed turned into a not so optimistic plan to replace.<br />
<br />
I was becoming okay with replacing my diamond when my doubt came face to face with God's timing. On a Sunday morning I reached into my cupboard for a small egg-making frying pan. Right next to the pile of pans, with the prongs still on it, was my wedding ring diamond! I immediately remembered God's promise that my true diamond would be found, "Thank you thank you thank you Lord!"<br />
<br />
<em>Poof!</em> It was the same sensation you get when a good magician makes something disappear on stage. All doubt and despair that had crept in vanished! It was replaced with the realization that even with a promise I had slipped into trusting more in the seen and less on what is unseen. I was yet again humbled at how fast I could question what should be certain. I can doubt, fear and even plan for the worse.<br />
<br />
Abraham tucked God's promise in his heart that from his line would come a Redeemer, a Messiah that would ultimately bless all nations on the earth. How many thousands of generations passed until Jesus walked the earth? The Israelites had to be reminded again and again. God's promises are real. Maybe that wanna-be diamond held no value, but the promise that came with it did. Do I trust all of God's promises or just some? Do I grow weary in the promises that are long-coming? Do I live in a way, everyday, that mirrors my trust and my faith? <br />
<br />
We have a choice to resist the doubt urge, to lean not on our own limited understanding. We have a choice to live with HOPE. I was told once to never be afraid of an unknown future to a known God.<br />
<br />
"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."<br />
2 Corinthians 4:18<br />

<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I slipped the ring back on my finger. It looked new, like the day I first saw it. I asked the jeweler how much it would have been to replace the diamond. Thousands of dollars he said. I asked how I could be sure this would not happen again? He told me to get the prongs checked regularly. There was a crack in the base that could have been found and fixed months ago. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
To this day I never really feel like going to get the prongs checked. My ring looks fine and feels fine but a check up with the jeweler would have saved me the heartache of loosing it in the first place. The only way to make it a habit is to do it regularly. It was not suggested to me for my pain, discomfort or to annoy me. It was for my good; to save me from the consequences of a diamond falling off it's ring. After a check up, it is cleaned and comes back to me like new. I'm always happy I did it.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
There is a Jeweler of life that I need to be in check with. He knows what is best. He blesses me with all kinds of diamonds and instructs me on how to care for them. But I don't always feel like following those instructions. I'm not alone in this, am I? God's ways are not always our ways, are they? We do not know our rings better than God. He sees the past, present and future. He knows what is best for us; what is for our ultimate good. He did not give us guidelines on how to live and commandments to obey for our pain, discomfort or to annoy us. Although sometimes our limited minds perceive it that way.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
Check your life-prongs with the expert life-jeweler! That is the only way we know for sure if we have a strong and stable connection. The only way cracks in the base are fixed before disaster strikes. It keeps our connection with God in working order.</div>

<br />Last Fall...<br />"Can you direct the school play this year? Rehearsals run through the spring and the performance is the first week of June."<br /><br />After praying I responded... Of course!<br /><br />This past winter...<br />"Would
you like to be on the production team for this year's Spotlight
musical? Rehearsals start in Jan and the show is the first weekend in
May."<br /><br />After praying I responded... Yes!<br /><br />Last week...<br />"Is there any way you can pull a scene from your play and enter it into our school talent show on Friday?"<br /><br />Before praying I responded... Wait, what?<br /><br />It's
tech week for the Spotlight musical and blocking rehearsals for the
school play and now a talent show? That's too much. I know what God is
going to say to this, No! <br /><br />Lord, I am completely strapped for time as it is and...<br /><br />Before I could tell God what His answer should be I knew in my heart that God was saying,"I want you to do it."<br /><br />After praying I responded... Um, ok. I can pull something together Mrs. Principal.<br /><br />The next day...<br />"Can you pray? Pray for the audience and pray for each other!"<br />Our
director stood in front of over 100 children and a production team that
had worked for months. It was the first night of tech week, the week
leading up to opening night. At the end of a long rehearsal and several
director notes she asked us to pray.<br /><br />I got home that night,
hours after what some would call bedtime and got out my computer. I had
to write a few emails securing a prop and costumes for the talent show,
finish up some blocking for the school play and make a spread sheet
delegating jobs for tech week with Spotlight. I started to get nervous
about constantly working off only a few hours of sleep a night. I could
get grouchy, snappy and forget my manners with little to no sleep. <br /><br />Then
it hit me, I was asked to pray. Should I respond now or wait until I
get some of this stuff done? I'll just shoot up a quick... "Bless it
all and give me what I need."<br /><br />Before I could return to my physical list of things that needed to be done, Scripture entered my heart. <br /><br />"But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." Matthew 6:33 <br /><br />God was asking me something this time...<br />"Will you seek first how I need you to pray so I can bless the rest?"<br /><br />I stopped everything and responded... Yes Lord, how should I pray?<br /><br />After a moment I found myself opening a new tab on my computer, biblegateway.com and seeking out how God needed me to pray.<br /></div>

at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that
end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the
saints"<br /><br /><div style="font-size: 14pt;">
And since your Word, the
sward of Your spirit, does not return void, I lift up the Spotlight team
and students according to your sanctifying Scriptures. May it start at
the top and trickle right down to every piece of the puzzle so that in
some way those who see us, can see You!<br /><br /></div>

himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober
judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned."<br />Romans 3:23<br />"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God"<br /><br /><div style="color: #157fcb; font-size: 16pt;">

<strong>May we trust what You are doing...</strong></div>
Ecclesiastes 3:11<br />"He
has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity
into man's heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from
the beginning to the end."<br />Proverbs 3:5-6<br />"Trust in the Lord with

<tr><td align="left" colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br />Yes,
it took a little bit of time to pray specifically and include
Scriptures, but the results I knew would see me through. It was like
going to the gas station and getting a full tank. I had a long week
ahead of me; what's the point of going to the prayer station if I'm not
going to fill up my tank completely? I sent the prayer out to the
production team so that we could agree together and many responded with
an amen! <br /><br />For the remainder of the week I found myself praying
these same words over and over again. Not just for the Spotlight team
but for every part of my week. When the stage was not cleared for the
school play rehearsal I remembered the Scriptures for patience and
trust. When I had 3 back to back rehearsals in one day I remembered the
Scriptures that God would sustain. When I felt upset I remembered the
Scriptures about honoring God with my thoughts. It went on and on.<br /><br />Each
time God's spirit came in and gave me just want I needed using
scriptures from that one "filling up." Truly, I walked last week with
His joy in my heart. All those joy-stealers immediately fell away as I
remembered His word and prayed.<br /><br />At one point a backstage crew
member looked at me and said, "Well, I think you are having more fun
than the kids!" I realized that I was living out the blessings of
responding!<br /><br />I have lived through many weeks where all I gave was a
quick, "Bless it all and keep me going," as I worked on my stuff first.
When that happens, a joyful attitude seems to barely fill my heart's
cup and in the end all I want to say is, "I made it."<br /><br />Last week my heart's cup overflowed with Joy and in the end all I could say was, "Praise God!"<br /><br />This
week I look back and can't help but continue to praise God for
accomplished school play rehearsals, a cute skit in the talent show, a
successful tech week and 4 performances. Prayer covered it all,
trickling right down to over 3,000 audience members, including the
others God chose to touch along the way.<br /></td></tr>

conversations she will have and the lessons she's to learn. I hope that
the time is special and pray that it goes well for her. Until Friday, I
will not know how she slept and who she spent most of her time with.
I'll hear some stories, the ones that seem to be most important to my
daughter I'm sure, and will know in part. I will never know a
play-by-play of every moment. <br />
<br />
I will admit, it is much easier to
trust things will be fine when I know some of how things might turn
out. As my daughter boarded the bus I did know some things. My husband
took a tour of the camp a few weeks back and got to see the facilities
where many of his questions were answered. He was given great advice on
how to pack and what not to forget. Without ruining any great surprises
he was given a glimpse into some of the activities including group treasure
hunts, swim days and night hikes. Still I had questions. I read every
word of the papers that were sent home including answers to
parent's most frequently asked questions. I was able to wrap my brain
around a few more unknowns. I followed the suggested packing check-list
perfectly labeling all items. Trusting it will all be fine came easier
as each preparation for this week was made.</div>

<tr><td align="left" colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="color: black; text-align: left;">Living
in an area prone to earthquakes there are known responses to the
shaking. Without thinking twice some may run to a door frame, some
under tables and others will drop next to their bed protecting their
heads. We ride'em out hoping it won't get too bad and if it does we
hope we will survive. Usually the first thing that's said after the
shaking subsides is, "I wonder how big that one was." <br />
<br />
After
turning on the news we can find out in minutes how big it was. Our
reaction to the magnitude depends on how close we are to the center of
the action. Someone right on top of the first jolt could say, "What? It
was only a 4.4? It felt bigger than that!" Another that was miles
away and felt the rolling effects might say, "I didn't realize it was
that big."<br />
<br />
Releasing a child into the hands of God as they go off
to camp for a week might seem like a 3.1 earthquake to some while
others might feel it's stronger. Everything we face in life seems to
have a self appointed crises scale attached to it whether it is a 3.1
shaking of camp or a 6.8 shaking of a hospital or a 7.2 shaking of a
terrible loss. The longer the shake and the stronger it becomes, the
greater the magnitude is on our lives.<br />
<br />
There is one week in
history when a certain group of men stood closest to the center of a
quake that measured off of the human Richter scales.<br />
<br />
These men
were Jesus' disciples. The things they witnessed became increasingly
more intense. Being called out was quite a shaking. Life-altering
teachings and revelations, a little more so. Then there was the jolt of
Jesus' healing power. His authority over the elements made them have
to catch their balance. Raising the dead to life knocked them off their
feet. These were shakings they had never experienced before and each
time the disciples attempted to wrap their brains around what they were
experiencing. "How big was that one?" These were the trembles of awe
and excitement of who Jesus was revealing Himself to be.<br />
<br />
Then the
unthinkable happened. Jesus predicted His own death (John 12)! That
one felt more than a little stronger than the last. What fault line
could have caused him to say such a thing?<br />
<br />
In the upper room,
Jesus knew that they were going to experience "The Big One". On this
night Jesus prepared them for the shaking that was to come. Earthquake
preparedness at an eternal level. <br />
<br />
<br />
JESUS PREPARED THE DISCIPLES by being an example:<br />
<br />
<i>John 13:3-17</i><br />
<i>Jesus
knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he
had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal,
took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After
that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples'
feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.</i><br />
<i>He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?"</i><br />
<i>Jesus replied, "You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand."</i><br />
<i>"No," said Peter, "you shall never wash my feet."</i><br />
<i>Jesus answered, "Unless I wash you, you have no part with me."</i><br />
<i>"Then, Lord," Simon Peter replied, "not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!"</i><br />
<i>Jesus
answered, "Those who have had a bath need only to wash their feet;
their whole body is clean. And you are clean, though not every one of
you." For he knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said
not every one was clean.</i><br />
<i>When he had finished washing their
feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. "Do you
understand what I have done for you?" he asked them. "You call me
'Teacher' and 'Lord,' and rightly so, for that is what I am. Now that I,
your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one
another's feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have
done for you. Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his
master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. Now that
you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.</i><br />
<br />
<br />
JESUS PREPARED THE DISCIPLES by revealing the betrayal and allowed Judas to leave and follow through.<br />
<br />
<i>John 13:18-30</i><br />
<i> <span class="text John-13-18"><span class="woj">“I am not referring to all of you; I know those I have chosen. But this is to fulfill this passage of Scripture: ‘He who shared my bread has turned against me.’</span></span></i><br />
<i> </i><i><span class="text John-13-19" id="en-NIV-26650"><span class="woj">“I am telling you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe that I am who I am.</span></span> <span class="text John-13-20" id="en-NIV-26651"><span class="woj">Very truly I tell you, whoever accepts anyone I send accepts me; and whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me.”</span></span></i><br />
<i> </i><i><span class="text John-13-21" id="en-NIV-26652">After he had said this, Jesus was troubled in spirit and testified, <span class="woj">“Very truly I tell you, one of you is going to betray me.”</span></span></i><br />
<i> </i><i><span class="text John-13-22" id="en-NIV-26653">His disciples stared at one another, at a loss to know which of them he meant.</span> <span class="text John-13-23" id="en-NIV-26654">One of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved, was reclining next to him.</span> <span class="text John-13-24" id="en-NIV-26655">Simon Peter motioned to this disciple and said, “Ask him which one he means.”</span></i><br />
<i> </i><i><span class="text John-13-25" id="en-NIV-26656">Leaning back against Jesus, he asked him, “Lord, who is it?”</span></i><br />
<i> </i><i><span class="text John-13-26" id="en-NIV-26657">Jesus answered, <span class="woj">“It is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it in the dish.”</span> Then, dipping the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.</span> <span class="text John-13-27" id="en-NIV-26658">As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him.</span></i><br />
<i><span class="text John-13-27">So Jesus told him, <span class="woj">“What you are about to do, do quickly.”</span></span> <span class="text John-13-28" id="en-NIV-26659">But no one at the meal understood why Jesus said this to him.</span> <span class="text John-13-29" id="en-NIV-26660">Since Judas had charge of the money, some thought Jesus was telling him to buy what was needed for the festival, or to give something to the poor.</span> <span class="text John-13-30" id="en-NIV-26661">As soon as Judas had taken the bread, he went out. And it was night.</span></i><br />
<br />
<br />
JESUS PREPARED THE DISCIPLES by giving them just enough insight:<br />
<br />
<i>John 13:31-38</i><br />
<i>Jesus
said, "Now the Son of Man is glorified and God is glorified in him. If
God is glorified in him, God will glorify the Son in himself, and
will glorify him at once.</i><br />
<i>"My children, I will be with you
only a little longer. You will look for me, and just as I told the Jews,
so I tell you now: Where I am going, you cannot come.</i><br />
<i>"A
new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you
must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my
disciples, if you love one another."</i><br />
<i>Simon Peter asked him, "Lord, where are you going?"</i><br />
<i>Jesus replied, "Where I am going, you cannot follow now, but you will follow later."</i><br />
<i>Peter asked, "Lord, why can't I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you."</i><br />
<i>Then
Jesus answered, "Will you really lay down your life for me? Very truly I
tell you, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times!</i><br />
<br />
<br />
JESUS PREPARED THE DISCIPLES as they became troubled at the thought of being shaken away from Jesus' side with encouragement: <br />
<br />
<i>John 14:1-4</i><br />
<i>"Do
not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God[a]; believe also in
me. My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have
told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go
and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me
that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I
am going."</i><br />
<br />
<br />
JESUS PREPARED THE DISCIPLES by giving them promises:<br />
<br />
<i>John 14:25-31</i><br />
<i>"All
this I have spoken while still with you. But the Advocate, the Holy
Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things
and will remind you of everything I have said to you. Peace I leave with
you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do
not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.</i><br />
<i>"You
heard me say, 'I am going away and I am coming back to you.' If you
loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the
Father is greater than I. I have told you now before it happens, so that
when it does happen you will believe. I will not say much more to you,
for the prince of this world is coming. He has no hold over me, but he
comes so that the world may learn that I love the Father and do exactly
what my Father has commanded me.</i><br />
<br />
<br />
JESUS PREPARED THE
DISCIPLES because He knew what they were about to endure. Instead of
tapering off, the shaking only intensified. Jesus was betrayed by Judas
and taken away. Peter fled for his life and denied Him just as Jesus
said he would. His disciples were scattered. Jesus was accused, flogged
and put on the cross.<br />
<br />
Although Jesus told them it would happen,
when Jesus died the disciples did not expect to be shaken like they
were. In fact nobody expected that the whole earth would quake.<br />
<br />
<i>Matthew 27:50-54</i><br />
<i>And
when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.
At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to
bottom. The earth shook and the rocks split. The tombs broke open and
the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They
came out of the tombs, and after Jesus' resurrection they went into the
holy city and appeared to many people. When the centurion and those with
him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had
happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, "Surely he was the Son of
God!"</i><br />
<br />
Three days followed of shifting through the
destruction and the ruins; of all they thought they knew! The disciples
experienced doubt and great despair. They waited, wondered and hid
from sight.<br />
<br />
As the end of the trembling week arrived and as the
sun came up, the resurrected Jesus Christ did too. (Luke 24) He showed himself
and spoke to his disciples face to face, opening their eyes to the truth
of what had happened. They had experienced the
fault lines of sin and the shaking-off of sin and death, the disciples knew then that He had indeed
overcome the world! <br />
<br />
<br />
JESUS PREPARED THE DISCIPLES and the disciples made it through!</td></tr>

<tr><td align="left" colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Crises
and struggles come at all different levels. If Jesus can faithfully
see His disciples through THAT week, giving them all they needed to
survive and still believe, surely He can see us through ALL of our
"weeks" as well as our weaknesses. We can trust that through His Word
and His Spirit He has given us all that we need too. <br />
<br />
When the
ground starts to shake and things are not as we expect, we too can look
back and trust His words even when they don't seem to make any emotional
sense. When the shaking is done and the ruin is left, we too can cling
to the promises that seem unnatural and impossible. When the weak can
say, "I am strong in Christ Jesus," and faith experiences the
resurrection of life, we too can know and understand the things that
didn't make sense before. We will see Him face to face, just like his
disciples did.<br />
<br />
<i>1 Corinthians 13: 9 - 12</i><br />
<i>For we
know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what
is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I
thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I
put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as
in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I
shall know fully, even as I am fully known.</i><br />
<br />
Jesus knows!
He knows when we are strong and when we will deny our faith. He knows
us better than we know ourselves. He knows what we need. <br />
<br />
In
every circumstance and through every unknown, we can know this: The
fault line of our sins was crucified on the cross and Jesus has given us
everything we need so that we can survive every quake and still
believe.<br />
<br />
<i>James 1:12</i><br />
<i>Blessed is the man who
remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will
receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.</i><br />
<br />

A Cookbook, A Kitchen and well...Me </div>

<span style="font-size: small;">As an 8th grader with dreams and ambitions, finding a cookbook in
the kitchen was like finding a perfect shaped sea shell at the beach.
It was a rare find, something that seemed to cry out for attention
saying, "Don't walk by me like I'm nothing! I've been beached on this
deserted island of a kitchen for too long. Come see the beauty I hold,
pick me up and flip through my pages! Listen close because you might
just hear the ocean!" I was not one to ignore a talking cookbook.<br /><br />Each
recipe had well-staged pictures with easy-to-follow instructions. I
started to consider each recipe as one I might be able to make. Where
these crazy thoughts came from is still a mystery. The most I had ever
done in a kitchen was help set the table before dinner and wash the
dishes after my family was done eating. One things is for certain, a
teenage brain is like a car with the keys in the ignition and a sign on
the window that reads, "Highjack me please."<br /><br />This cookbook
treasure was being overlooked and I seemed to be the one to find it. A
certain responsibility comes with being the finder. I read through the
ingredients, the prep instructions and took a good look at the pictures
as I flipped through the pages. Could I be the one that was to unlock
this book's beauty; turning a two dimensional page into a three
dimensional meal that would unlock my family's senses? The fact that I
had just completed Nintendo's game called Super Mario Brothers in one
long turn was reason enough to answer that question with a big fat,
"Yes! I'm invincible and the one to do the unlocking."<br /><br />As the
pages passed I realized two things. First, although the book seemed to
be written in English there were enough clues that hinted at a hidden,
underground language that only chefs spoke and understood. And second, I
didn't have an interpreter. Although these things were true, I felt
like I had a good idea on what I might be able to handle. When these
unknown words and abbreviated symbols appeared all I needed to do is use
the text around it to draw a sensible conclusion of what it might
mean. When a single recipe contained too many ingredients I didn't
recognize or an excessive amount of instruction I didn't understand it
was on to the next page. <br /><br />At last I turned a page and gazed upon a
picture that intrigued me. Displayed with a spiral layer of cheese and
broccoli within a perfect cylinder shaped meat formation was a meal
that beckoned my name. "Michelle...free me from this page!" I started
to read through the ingredients and to my delight I understood it all.
The prep seemed completely manageable for someone who didn't really know
anything about cooking. I called back, "I'm coming Princess Peach!" I
set out to make my first ever meal, and it was going to be meatloaf!<br /><br />I
needed to organize my thoughts. That was what I did when I received
writing assignments at school. I went through our kitchen cupboards
gathering all the ingredients and supplies. When I knew what we were
missing I gave my mom a list of things to buy at the store. <br /><br />"Hey mom, could you pick up a few things for me?"<br /><br />"Sure."<br /><br />It
was not abnormal for me to ask for a few things from the store.
Usually the list was more along the line of school project supplies and
beautifying products so you can imagine the confusion on my mom's face
when I handed her a list that included raw ground meat and frozen
broccoli.<br /><br />"I'm going to make dinner for the whole family," I said.<br /><br />Added
to her confusion was now shock. If you could read the thinking cloud
above her head it would have said, "Where is my daughter and who is this
child in front of me?"<br /><br />"Okay." Was all she said out loud.<br /><br />It was like having to play level one on Super Mario Brothers over and over again. Day after day my mom failed to pick up the items causing my new treasured experience to slip farther and farther away.
So much for playing this game in one long turn. I had to continue to
remind her to get the items until she finally realized that I was
serious about making dinner for the whole family. Finally the day
arrived when my mom came home with all the things on my list.<br /><br />That
afternoon I kicked everyone out of the kitchen. My excitement grew as I
imagined myself placing the main dish on the dining room table and
cutting into the meat that would reveal the artful display. I also
imagined my family's reaction, "Wow, that looks awesome Michelle... and
it tastes great too... good job... you will have to make dinner more
often..."<br /><br />This magical ending played out over and over again in
my mind as I organized everything on the counter. I looked at the
timing and planned out the afternoon. Right as I was getting started my
mom peeked her head in and asked if I needed any help.<br /><br />I chased
her away, "Don't come in! It's a surprise!" Although there were a few
abbreviated marks in the recipe that I didn't understand, it wasn't
anything I couldn't figure out on my own.<br /><br />Spices and bread crumbs
were massaged into the meat. I pounded the mixture flat and squared it
off into a thin layer making sure the dimensions fit perfectly with the
baking pan. Then I added a layer of cheese followed by a layer of
broccoli. With the layers complete it was time to roll the creation
into a loaf. From the moment I saw the recipe I looked forward to
getting to this point, the point when a math equation becomes clear.
All I had to do was plug in the right numbers and the answer would
appear. Carefully I maneuvered one side over itself and slowly rolled
it up so that it resembled a loaf of bread. It worked! It looked
better than the picture in the cookbook! Finally I placed it in the
preheated oven and set the timer.<br /><br />With every level successfully
completed came a greater sense of accomplishment. I washed the
measuring spoon and cups. The left over food went back in the
refrigerator and I set the table for dinner. The house started to smell
delicious. As I flipped through the cookbook I thought to myself,
"Maybe I could play the part of my family's chef more often."<br /><br />Ding!
It was the timer. I called my family to get ready for dinner and they
did. As they found their seats I removed the meatloaf from the oven.
The juices dripping out of the sides made it look like the most mouth
watering dinner ever created. <br /><br />As I set the meatloaf on the
table my family sort of nodded. When I cut in and the beautiful
swirling layers were exposed they seemed a bit more impressed. I
explained that their vegetables were conveniently cooked right inside
the meatloaf. <br /><br />As a good host would, I served everyone else
before myself and they started to eat before I had even sat down. Here
it came. The last flag...the answer to the math problem...the sound of
the ocean...<br /><br />The room was silent. I waited.<br /><br />"Interesting."<br /><br />"Yea, it's um, strong."<br /><br />My mom asked me how much salt I put in the dinner.<br /><br />All
of a sudden I noticed I was standing in quick sand. I was sinking into
a trap of disappointment. I thought I had unlocked the hidden treasures
of the kitchen's cookbook only to find myself facing the wrong answer.<br /><br />"I
followed the directions. I measured everything." As I took my first
bite, I quickly realized that the taste did not match the beautiful
smell and display. It was so salty that one bite was hard to swallow.
Had I been highjacked?<br /><br />My first time ever making dinner for the
family on my own, without an interpreter, and the car was stopped,
facing a dead-end street. In the kitchen for hours only to present a
salty mess. When I was taught to be the salt of the earth I don't think
this is what God had in mind.<br /><br />My family continued to try to be
as polite as they could, as to not to hurt my feelings. I managed to
pull my two feet out of the quicksand and drag my heels into the
kitchen. Where was that silly cookbook? I looked at the directions. 4
tsp of salt. I looked at the measuring spoon that I used. I put in 4
tbsp. I had failed!<br /><br />I could hear my siblings whispering about
what they should do and that they couldn't finish it. I walked back
into the dining room, defeated. My family quickly silenced their
whispers and tried to smile. <br /><br />"It's okay," I told them, "I messed up. You don't have to eat it."<br /><br />The entire room sighed with relief and the sun came out again...as a black cloud hovered over my head. <br /><br />Noticing the storm of a crushed spirit coming upon me, my sister tried to make me feel better, "It looks really good."<br /><br />My mom added, "It smells good too."<br /><br />My brother couldn't help himself, he had to add the punch line to this enormous joke of a dinner, "It just doesn't taste good."<br /><br />Laughter filled the room and I gave a slight smirk, but didn't really find any of it funny.<br /><br />After
all that work, hours of planning, preparing, baking...one little
misread ruined the entire thing. I could have used an interpreter and
since I didn't have one I never played that game again. The cookbook
went back on the sandy shelf and the unfortunate conclusion was made
that the cookbook was meant to be someone else's find.</span></div>

<tr><td align="left" colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="color: black; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">Looking
back I can see that it was such a little fix, a small scale
adjustment! I wish I could go back and give that teen a little bit of
insight and perspective that might have lead to a series of different
choices. Maybe, just maybe, I would enjoy creating dinners for my
family today. God only knows the awesome things I could have done for
Him and with Him if I had not shelved that book. <br /><br />For a young
teen the disappointment overshadowed any potential and one failure
represented a series of failure that I did not think I could handle.
Settling for the easy and fast way to be fed and abandoning any desire I
might have had to bless my family with a meal led to my most common,
single serving, self-prepared meals throughout high school and into my
college years. Microwaved frozen burritos or microwaved "baked"
potatos. Yes, I survived but my healthy eating habits, my pallet as well
as my desire to bless others with a good meal did not thrive.<br /><br />Is
that the best God has for us? To live in a constant state of survival
sprinkled with some self gratifying pleasures that don't last long? Or
is His best more along the line of thriving? Thrive, marinated in God's
deep and purposeful love!<br /><br />When I think about the shelved
cookbook I can identify with King Solomon when he makes the life
altering argument in Ecclesiastes that in the end life is sweeter when
it has been lived in relationship with our God. <br /><br /><i>"Remember your
Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come and
the years approach when you will say, 'I find no pleasure in them'"
Ecclesiastes 12:1</i><br /><br /><i>"Remember him-before the silver cord is
severed, and the golden bowl is broken; before the pitcher is shattered
at the spring, and the wheel broken at the well, and the dust returns to
the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it."
Ecclesiastes 12:6-7</i><br /><br />After 6 chapters of establishing how
meaningless life is with an earth-bound perspective, King Solomon
encourages us to honor God...and the sooner the better! <br /><br /><i>"For
who knows what is good for a person in life, during the few and
meaningless days they pass through like a shadow? Who can tell them what
will happen under the sun after they are gone?" Ecclesiastes 6:12</i><br /><br />Don't
shelve it, letting the days go by with an earth-bound perspective.
King Solomon had all that the world could offer and in all his wisdom he
too wanted to go back to the youths and encourage their hearts to enjoy
life WITH God.<br /><br /><i>"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" 2 Corinthians 5:17</i><br /><br /><i>"Let
the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body
you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the message of Christ
dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all
wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God
with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or
deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the
Father through him." Colossians 3:15-17</i><br /><br />Living in a way that
gives purpose and opens opportunities for God to use us for His glory
and for our good...that is what iPray all of us would grab off that
shelf sooner rather than later.</span></td></tr>

knew a man that wished he too could go back and do things a little
different. One of his last messages before the Lord took him home was a
message to the younger generation. This man was my Opa (my step
grandpa).<br /><br />Disappointments and misreads caused him to shelve the
Bible and the opportunity to connect with God along with it. He watched
many of his family members become Christians throughout the years,
discovering what it meant to know God and live for Him. Their hopes,
dreams and passions became purposeful. One daughter, then another. His
wife, grandchildren and then other family members. They experienced
great spiritual freedom and joy at all kinds of levels and my Opa stood
in the middle of it. Still, with a hardened heart he shelved a
treasure, thinking it was good for someone else, but not him. My Opa
grew increasingly bitter as his health declined.<br /><br />Weeks away from
meeting his maker, my Opa's daughter sat by his bedside. Again she
asked him if he would pray to God and know Him through His Son Jesus
Christ. It was a tender moment as he let go of all he had been holding
onto. The earth-bound perspective that seemed to keep him in spiritual
bondage blew away like ashes in the wind. My Opa made the life-altering
decision to know God through His Son Jesus for the very first time. A
hardened and bitter heart melted away. My sister heard the one piece of
advice he wanted to leave to the younger ones, "I wasted so much time,
years I cannot get back. Tell all the others this: Don't waste a day by
living that way, know God now and live a better life than I did."<br /><br />There is no better time than right now to unlock...to unshelve...to connect with God.</span></td></tr>

when your magical endings do not pan out the way you expect, you will
not give up so quickly on living a life of faith that unlocks true
treasures.<br />
...that when you do not understand, you will abandon any earth-bound conclusions and cling to eternal truth.<br />
...that
you will never choose to shelve a relationship with God because of
glitches and disappointments but instead choose to see what God can do
in and through you in those moments.<br />
...that God, who is so faithful, will provide encouragement, interpretation and help.<br />
...that
when the not so favorable court ruling...the loss of a job...becoming a
single parent...an unbearable grief...news that, "Nothing else can be
done" you will run TO Him rather than shelving Him.<br />
...that you will know that above all else, life is sweeter lived WITH God.<br />
...that your life will be less about surviving, and more about thriving.<br />
...that right now will be your time, now and not a moment later, to pray and connect with your creator.<br />
<br />
In Jesus Name iPray, Amen.<br />
<br />
ALL for Him,<br />

think about, nothing new to gain.</em><br /><br /><em>What would you think if someone came up to you as the calendar turns over with this greeting:</em><br /><br /><em>"Happy
year! Have fun being stuck in the past and not moving forward with
anything. Forget your goals, dreams, aspirations or your God given
purpose for what lies ahead. Love that there is nothing new, just the
same old thing. Just chugging along! Time to turn over an old leaf.
You know, the one you have turned over again and again and nothing has
come of it but sorrow and pain. Ring out the old and bring in the
older. Stay lonely. Stay still. Stay bitter. Stay angry. Stay
lazy. Stay revengeful. Stay jelious. Stay in your brand spankin' old
ways to have a happy old year!"</em><br /><br /><em>I could just see your
shocked face. Mouth dropped open, wide eyes. That is not the greeting
we want to walk around with ringing in our ears. What exactly are we
saying when we give NEW years greeting?</em><br /><br /><em>"Happy NEWness
in the year to come; be happy because it's a NEW beginning. Look
forward to new opportunities to rejoice! New opportunities to be
hopeful. A new baby, new home new age, new start, new look, new
perspective, new chance or maybe even new counter space. Put off the
old, put on the new. Be dead to the old, alive in the new! A new day, a
new way. Something is happening that has not existed before. There
are things to be discovered for the first time. Fresh things. It's
time for a new season, a new life attitude. Put on joy, patience,
compassion, forgiveness, love and hard work. Look forward to new music,
new dances, new creations, new life, new vision and a new heart in
increasing ways. Happy NEW year!"</em><br /><br /><em>Now that's the
greeting that can put a smile on a face! When I include the NEW I'm
blessing you with more than just another year. Shall I give you this
greeting again? YES, take two! But this time I will not leave out the
most important part! And this time iPray the blessings of NEWness upon
you!</em><br /><br /><a href="http://7tothirty7.blogspot.com/2012/01/anything-new-with-you.html?utm_source=February+2014+iPray&utm_campaign=iPray+eVotional&utm_medium=email" rel="nofollow" shape="rect" style="color: #007da1; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Link to <strong>iPray Newness</strong> full "episode"</a><br /></td></tr>

all love to play games and few are more universal than Follow the
Leader. We have all played it as kids and as adults we are still
playing variations of this classic game. We see something we like or
admire and we follow! The rules are simple, but no two games are the
same. 1. Assign a leader and several followers. 2. The leader starts
to do anything that he or she wants. 3. The rest of the players follow,
doing exactly what the leader does. Anyone who doesn't follow exactly
is out. 4. When there is only one follower left the game is over and he
or she becomes the new leader. It goes on and on and on and on. </em><br /><br /><em>Hmm,
following someone that is doing whatever they want seems a little like
fumbling around in the dark! Furthermore, the game never ends. </em><br /><br /><em>I'd rather follow with a purpose. </em><br /><br /><em>Sometimes,
when my husband and I take separate cars to an event I end up following
him home afterwards. He usually rolls down his window and says,
"Follow me." </em><br /><br /><em>I have to keep my eyes on him, stay close
in proximity, watch what lane he is in and not let too many cars get
between us. I look for his signals and merge with him. My husband
keeps an eye on me as well, slowing if need be and putting signals on
early. Both of us are driving with an awareness of each other. Both of
us are making decisions that helps us stay together. If either of us
gets distracted or daydreams, then we can get separated. Unlike Follow
the Leader I'm not following just for the fun of it. I'm following with
a purpose to end up at home. </em><br /><br /><em>Following Jesus is not
only fun like the universal game of Follow the Leader, but we follow
with a purpose! We follow Him until He calls us home.</em><br /><br /><a href="http://7tothirty7.blogspot.com/2012/10/ifollow.html?utm_source=February+2014+iPray&utm_campaign=iPray+eVotional&utm_medium=email" rel="nofollow" shape="rect" style="color: #007da1; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Link to <strong>iFollow</strong> full "episode"</a><br /></td></tr>

I step back and really think about having a peaceful heart through the
ups, downs and surprise life turns; even when things don't always feel
peaceful, I think about Mr. Toad's Wild Ride!</em><br /><br /><em>That's
right, a Disneyland ride that happens to be my son's favorite in the
park. Mr. Toad, a character from Disney's 1949 "Mini-Classic" version
of the tale The Wind in the Willow's, takes you on a crazy ride through
town in his new found love... a motorcar! After Mr. Toad discovers
this motorcar he becomes completely fixated and obsessed with a new and
exciting adventure of driving it. Unfortunately his motor-mania
driving is quite reckless. As a passenger in his motorcar you are
subjected to his uncontrollable turns, near crashes and a few moments
of driving right through the pit of hell. Only to come out alive and
well with the magical sounds of Disneyland's Carousel across the way.</em><br /><br /><em>The
summer before last we visited the Disney Museum in San Francisco and
in the store my son found his most treasured book ever. A collectors
book that features Mr. Toad's wild ride. In the middle it has a
wonderful bird's eye view of the whole ride. He has studied every turn
and close call the ride takes. He knows what is to come and how it
ends.</em><br /><br /><em>Life is like this ride. </em><br /><br /><em>We are
on a ride that has many unexpected turns, near crashes and at times we
can even feel like we are traveling through the pit of hell. My son's
life has been no exception. At birth he was rushed to the NICU. He
lived for years with pain that no one knew about or understood. At 3
he was so sick from failing kidneys that the pit of hell seemed to lurk
outside of his hospital door. Before he was 5 he had endured 6
surgeries, endless procedures and numerous lab tests. This was not a
ride he stood in line for and looked forward to riding. He had to jump
aboard whether he liked it or not, forcing him to face unknown twists
and turns of a crazy motorcar. At times it seemed hopeless and too much
for him to bear. </em><br /><br /><em>In the hardest of moments God's
present voice whispered in his ears just what he needed to hear. Hope
placed on his young heart at just the right time. "Only a few more
turns and you are going to come out saved!" He may not have had a
bird's eye view, but I believe that he learned to trust the One who did
at a very young age.</em><br /><br /><a href="http://7tothirty7.blogspot.com/2012/12/ifinish-strong.html?utm_source=February+2014+iPray&utm_campaign=iPray+eVotional&utm_medium=email" rel="nofollow" shape="rect" style="color: #007da1; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Link to <strong>iFinish Strong</strong> full "episode"</a><br /></td></tr>

experienced a compilation episode or a "Clip Show." The network
successfully sidestepped the lack of a new show to air, due to a failure

<br /> "I am sending you out as my ambassadors, to color the world
with My breath of life!" With a great thunder The King spoke to His
colors. "Each of you have a color and a gift that will bring glory to
The Creator of all things." The colors were in awe as they saw the details that needed to be filled in. <br /> <br /> The King spoke again. "Rainbow will be in your heart as you go. Through Him the world will find the life I have for them. He will be revealed at His time."<br /> <br /> A buzz filled the room as ideas started to be shared.
"I'm all over that ocean!" Blue said, "It starts with the coloring of
the sky and a little bit of reflection...I can see it now."<br /> <br /> Yellow spun around with sparkles of light flinging every which way. Without missing a beat she said, "Oh, big
and beautiful Blue, can you just imagine that sky meeting up with the
stunning sun? I'm coloring the sun a vibrant shade, so bright that it
shouldn't be directly looked upon." <br /> <br /> With a swift swoosh she was at Green's side, "Isn't this great gorgeous, Green?"<br /> <br /> "It's fantastic,
Yellow." Green liked what her friends were saying, but Green couldn't
even start to talk about her ideas, she had so many it would blow
Yellow away and make Blue look boring. "Well my friends, I'm off to
make my plan, I'll see you on the earth's playing field!" Green started
out the door.<br /> <br /> On the way out Rainbow stopped Green,<i> "The
King says that the world needs you and your perfect ideas. They are
many and your ideas will fill in most of the land and tons under the
sea. Your ideas will flourish Green, but remember this, when you are
ready call on your friends Blue and Yellow."</i><br /> <br /> Wow!
Green's heart raced at the King's words. The world needs her? She was
the perfect color for most of the land and even under the seas? That
was huge! To think that her green ideas would flourish! The privilege
and honor overwhelmed her. Green's smile glowed with purpose as she
exited the room.<br /> <br /> Sitting at her computer Green could see the
blank canvas of what she was to color out her window. The ideas
flooded her brain, she could hardly contain her excitement. She opened a
new document and titled it "Coloring the World Green." <br /> <br />
Catching the ideas that just seemed to keep on coming, her fingers
struggled to keep up. The exact shade that grass would be compared to
the bushes and trees. The variation between palms, oaks and
evergreens. What would limes look like? How about kiwis? What kind of green would say that bananas weren't quite ripe yet?<br /> <br /> A message popped up on her screen. It was Blue. <br /> <br /> "I'm ready to take some action!" <br /> <br /> Green could not believe that Blue was ready to go. "The ocean and sky are so massive. Are you sure you have all the ideas you need?" She typed back.<br /> <br />
"Oh yea, I don't need too many ideas to get started, Rainbow reminded
me to get going now and pace myself. The Color King gifted me with
steady strength along with perfect pacing. It's time to color blue."<br /> <br /> "Have fun!" typed Green.<br /> <br /> "Rainbow said the King wants me to check in with you and purple as I go along." Blue added, "He said that I'm a good helper."<br /> <br /> Green felt threatened. How on earth could Blue's simple-minded perspective be of any help? Green's ideas were intricate and precise!<br /> <br /> "I'm good," Green responded, "The King said that my ideas will flourish. Go color the world blue."<br /> <br />
Blue was off. Green had barely touched the surface of how detailed
green would be. "Blue is a simple fellow," she thought, "he can color
the same shade for miles."<br /> <br />Green thought about reptiles and
birds. She carefully noted what each creature would look like and the
various shades of green to be used. <br /> <br /> Another message popped up. It was Yellow.<br /> <br /> "Look out your window GF! Look at Blue go, <3 it!"<br /> <br />
Green looked out and she could see the sky was coming alive along with
the ocean. The sight was breathtaking, as blue went forth so did
movement. The ocean started to engage with the King's breath, swirling
around as if it were dancing. <br /> <br /> "Wow!" It was all Green could type at the sight.<br /> <br /> "My ideas are done for now. IOW I'm waiting for you Green!" Yellow always confused Green.<br /> <br /> "What? Why are you waiting for me? If your ideas are done, why are you waiting at all? Look at Blue."<br /> <br /> "I know, right? LOL!
The Color King said that my patience partners perfectly with my timing.
SETE! I just need to wait for my friend's cues. Rainbow is the bomb,
He keeps reminding me of this. Oh... Red just messaged me!"<br /> <br /> Green could barely start to digest Yellow's whirlwind of words when she started up again.<br /> <br /> "IMFL, Red and I are meeting up with Orange
after I color the sun. Orange has a great idea about how we can all
color a sunset together. GMTA! So exciting. Wait a minute... Put on
your shades, gorgeous Green, I'm ready to color the stunning sun. H&K"<br /> <br /> Yellow was off.<br /> <br />
Green felt like there was so much more to plan. She anticipated the
King's breath on all the world's green, but first things first. She
knew that the ideas had to be mapped out. It was fine for Yellow to
just stand around and wait until someone else had a plan, but Green
stayed focus and her fingers busy. Her notes were detailed and
massive. Soon she had volumes of notes, clearly stating what she needed
to color.<br /> <br /> With her ideas done and her plan complete Green
peeked out her window. The ocean's color peeked back with the sun's
beautiful reflection glistening on the water. Green realized that it
was probably a good thing Blue started early and Yellow was patient to
wait for the perfect moment to do her thing. It was looking
grand...but now Green was ready to add her mark, and what a mark it
would be.<br /> <br /> Green moved to the world's land. She stood still for
a moment. How did Blue and Yellow get started so naturally? The
ideas flowed, but she didn't seem to flow the same way as she stood on
the land. How would she make a difference?<br /> <br /> Green looked at Grass, Bush and Tree. They were still. Frozen and two-dimensional.<br /> <br />
"Grass, Bush and Tree, would you like to come alive? Would you like to
feel the wind blow your limbs and your seeds become fertile? The King
created you for life!"<br /> <br /> She let them know her plan and they
seemed intrigued. Green made a few awkward movements but they did not
change. Nothing but silence.<br /> <br /> After a few ill attempts Grass,
Bush and Tree questioned Green, "You talk about green but we don't feel
it. Who is this King you speak of? We don't believe a single plan of
yours will work. This is the way we have always been and always will
be. Stop talking fantasy to us and let us be."<br /> <br /> "Please be
patient, what I tell you is true!" Green said. "You were not created
to stand still like this. I have seen the ocean come alive with
beautiful ripples and movement that would make you cry."<br /> <br /> Green opened her device with files of ideas. Desperately copying
and pasting, she tried to make her ideas come to life. As hard as she
tried, she just couldn't make anything happen. Maybe she didn't
calculate a key factor, she needed to get back to her computer. Green
hated to leave Grass, Bush and Tree there, colorless, but what choice
did she have? "I'll be back!"<br /> <br /> Green moved away from the world
and back to her window. She parted numbers into fractions, broke her
sentences into words and then words down into the simplest terms
possible without compromising any variation of perfection. <br /> <br /> Days passed and Green returned to Grass, Bush and Tree several times with masterpieces,
only to leave again knowing that her work did not change a
thing. Nothing she produced brought glory to the King. In fact, she
felt as if she had made the world worse. Each visit ended with Grass,
Bush and Tree's hearts increasingly hardening towards their Creator. <br /> <br />
After a while Green became stumped and started to see herself as
useless. Blue had most of the world covered. He would stop now and
then to talk to Red and assist Purple. What a
great helper! Yellow kept popping up with her spirited color at the
perfect moments. All these amazing green ideas and nothing to show for
it. Time passed without a hint of green in the world. Day after day
she failed to go forward. <br /> <br />Green's inability seemed to choke out
her passion. "The King said that my ideas would flourish," she
thought, "but my ideas are nothing if I can't color a thing." For the
umpteenth time she cleared the files on her device and returned to her
computer.<br /> <br /> <i>"He said something else too." </i> Rainbow spoke to her heart. <i>"Remember His instruction."</i><br /> <br /> He did say something else, but what? Green's mood sank, what once made her heart race became a terrible burden. <br /> <br />
One morning she took out her computer ready to just delete every file
on it. Green had let everyone down, Grass, Bush, Tree...her friends
and worst of all her King. Her finger hovered over the key that would erase every idea that held her captive. Green hesitated.<br /> <br /><i>"You
have focused your time and energy on what you're best at... creating
ideas. Do not push that key and neglect the gift you have, which was
given you by prophecy... Do not bury your talent in worthlessness,
give the ideas to your friends." </i> <br /><br />Rainbow's unexpected encouragement made Green's heart beat a bit faster.
Out her window Green noticed Brown. She had not seen Brown enter the
picture yet. Blue, Yellow and Orange were talking to Brown on the beach
next to some huge rocks. As Brown waved his hands and explained what
was on his mind the others listened intently. He maneuvered up and
down Rock, like he was giving instructions. Soon the colors were
enthusiastically engaged; stimulated to move once again. The sand
became creamy beige and tan, the trails and paths of the world came to
life with dark coffee and chestnut browns. Chocolate and vanilla tones
spread throughout the rocky mountains and into the deserts. <br /><br />A message popped up on her screen. It was Blue.<br /> <br /> "Hello Green, I'm checking in to see if you need any help."<br /> <br /> Green did need help. She needed her pathetic life to have meaning. Her decaying ideas stood with one foot in the grave! Green's heart sank again at the thought of how far behind she had become.
Blue was the first one to start, seemed to be done and he was helping
others too. Maybe she spent too much time on ideas. Maybe she had
gone about this the wrong way.<br /> <br /> "Green, are you there?"<br /> <br /> Green slowly typed. "I'm here."<br /> <br /> "How's it going?"<br /> <br /> "Blue, I don't know how to say this but, my ideas stink. They are not working out."<br /> <br />
She waited for Blue to tell her that she should have just jumped down
there when he did. Instead he messaged something different.<br /> <br />
"The King said they would flourish, I bet they are perfect! Yellow and I
need some fresh ideas. Let's meet up and make yours happen!"<br /> <br />
Oh no, not Yellow. She was always so chipper and patient. Green
didn't think she could handle Yellow's good attitude at a time like
this.<br /> <br /> Blue continued, "Meet us in the park!" He was gone.<br /> <br />"<i>Give them to your friends...</i>"<br /><br />
Maybe Green did need to share her ideas with her friends like Brown
did. After all, gifts should not stop being gifts. If she deleted her
files then her gift would parish. Green synced up her device and
headed to the park. <br /><br />Yellow had a huge bright smile. It did
lift Green's spirits a bit, but she didn't want to admit it. Blue
spoke up first. "Fill us in, Green."<br /> <br /> Green told
her friends how hard she had worked and how she was depressed that
nothing was getting done. Blue and Yellow listened to her ideas of
forest and jungle. She went on to talk about moss and how it was
different from dark moss. Green told them about olive, teal, and
mint. Artichoke and asparagus...fern and pine...just talking about them
made her heart race faster.<br /> <br /> Yellow almost gasped! "Green, you
are extremely gifted! I mean I excelled at ripe bananas but to think
that there is a color that says they are not ready for consumption. I would have never thought of that on my own. It's going to take an army of colors to make this all happen!"<br /> <br />
Blue agreed, "I'm loving it. I had the sky and ocean under control but I
couldn't do anything about the algae and seaweed. Tell us what to
do."<br /> <br /> Green looked at her first document and renamed it,
"Coloring the World with my Friends." The three friends started with
Grass, Bush and Tree. Green spoke up, "Ladies and Gentleman, I needed to
remember The King's words when He had said to call on my friends. The
King will be glorified today!"<br /> <br /> With that Grass, Bush and Tree
began to change, color streamed through their bodies and their eyes
were opened. The King's cool breath moved them with a fresh freedom
they never knew could exist. Songs of praise rang out and they joined
the rest of the world in worshiping their creator.<br /> <br /> Green's
very soul rejoiced at the sight. Soon all of Greens ideas came to
life. Down to the tiniest detail, Blue and Yellow followed Green's
instructions perfectly. <br /> <br /> Yellow texted Black and White after
reading Green's color ideas for stones and marbles. To say that
Green's ideas flourished was too little of a statement. The entire
land along with portions of the sea were colored gorgeously green.
Green found herself working with Red and Brown at times as well. It
was not the isolated shades of green that completed Green's purpose; it
was her color, her gift added to her obedience that fulfilled her purpose for her King.<br /> <br /> At His time, Rainbow covered the world and sealed the work that had been done.<br /> <br />
The King invited all His colors for a celebration. With a view of the
world the colors had a marvelous party. They laughed and shared
stories, reminisced and fist-bumped. The King smiled upon
His colorful creation. The King was glorified for His colors had
worked together to bring forth His life.</td></tr>

<br />"Look what I got!" It was the first thing my daughter, Shirin,
said after returning from a fall festival with a friend and her
friend's family. She held up a canvas bag in one hand, it was bulging
out as if it was filled with rocks. "I mined and gathered so many
treasures, you won't believe it!"<br /><br />After thanking her friend for
the fun day she dashed upstairs and spread all of her treasures out over
her desk. She spent the next hour separating and organizing her
treasures into groups and piles. I peeked in as I walked by with some
laundry.<br /><br />"Mom, come here and look at what I got. Here is one...and so many of these...and this one is so rare..."<br /><br />I
stepped in, looked over her shoulder and expressed some general
appreciation for what Shirin found. I started to pick up some more
laundry from her basket as she explained the names of each find. It was
like her words went in one ear and out the other. I must have been
thinking about the things that needed to be done because I can't
remember even one stone she named off. As she held each stone up I gave
the appropriate, "That's awesome, no way, so cool," responses but not
really noticing any details. I couldn't tell you the color, shape or
texture of even one treasure. I knew they were pretty cool and that I
could probably enjoy taking a look at them when I wasn't so distracted.
I told myself that after I got done with the things on my mind that
needed to get done I would return to Shirin's desk to really take a
closer look. I told her that she could keep them on her desk until we
found a good home for them and made my exit to gather more laundry from
my room.<br /><br />Now before I continue telling you about my 5% genuine
interest level in what my daughter was 100% excited about I have to tell
you that during this same week many of Shirin's molars decided it was
time to come out. The tooth fairy had a hard time keeping up, in fact
her stash of emergency tooth fairy gifts had been depleted. So when
Shirin came running into my room with the exiting news that another
tooth had come out you can imagine what was running through my mind. I
didn't even look at the tooth as I gave my appropriate, "Another tooth?
Wow, I can't believe it. You won't be able to chew your food at this
rate," as my mind raced through my options to get a little treasure
under her pillow before the next morning. She laughed. I thought she
was tickled by my humor. I didn't even look at her as I started to
brainstorm what I could do to help the tooth fairy come through.<br /><br />"Mom, look at my tooth."<br /><br />Without
really looking up from gathering my clothes I said, "It's a molar
right? Go find your tooth fairy pillow so we don't lose it." The news
of Shirin loosing her tooth should have made me excited for her and
asking to see it. Instead it sent me into a series of thoughts barely
related to the joy of the event. Does the tooth fairy have anything to
give? Will she forget like the last time and have to redeem herself on
the next night? Does she have time to go to the store before it gets too
late? Since Shirin knows who the tooth fairy is should I even be
thinking in third person?<br /><br />"Mom! Look at my tooth, it's so strange."<br /><br />"It's strange?" I said as I held a bundle of clothes in my arms.<br /><br />"Just
look." She held the tooth up in my face. I stopped. As it came into
focus I dropped my clothes. It was strange. It was long and pointy.
It didn't look like a molar at all, more like a fang of some sort. I
wondered what sort of strange thing just came out of my daughter's
mouth. It was dim as well, maybe rotten. A rotten tooth would not be
deformed in shape, would it?<br /><br />Standing behind the tooth I could
see Shirin's big smile. She seemed to be amused by my expression and
was chuckling. Wait a minute. Was this some sort of joke? She
couldn't handle it and started laughing out loud.<br /><br />"What is that?" I asked.<br /><br />"It's a tooth!" She said. <br /><br />"It's a tooth, but what kind of tooth?" I asked<br /><br />"It's
a shark tooth!" She laughed, "I got it when I was mining." Of course I
started to laugh. It was a funny joke. Shirin explained that when she
was mining she had gathered about fifteen shark teeth.<br /><br />Fifteen
shark teeth? I had looked at her treasures and didn't notice fifteen
shark teeth? I guess my daughter could tell how genuine I was earlier.
My automated and practically fabricated response did not connect me to
her in any way. She found an extremely creative way to get my attention
onto the details, to not just glance over treasures but to really focus
in and appreciate them in the same way she was. Together experiencing a
100% genuine appreciation and awe for what she had gathered. After
really focusing in on that strange pointy tooth and realizing that she
was pulling a fast one on me, I was sharing a real moment with her. I
had to go look at her treasures again to see what else I had missed. <br /><br />Guess
what, when I looked at the treasures closer they really were awesome!
Each one told it's own story. Some were rough and others were smooth. <br /><br />Shirin
started to tell me all the names of the different stones. "Check out
this Quartz and this Turritella...oh I didn't know I had this, it's a
Sea Coin...oh look, a fossilized Sea Clam. Here is a Branch Coral...a
Crinoid Stem...a Chrysophrase..."<br /><br />"Honey, how on earth do you know all of these names?" I asked.<br /><br />Shirin
showed me a pamphlet sitting out, "This pamphlet tells me all the names
of the treasures I could have found." It was so compelling. She
showed me one of the rarest specimens, an Obsidian Arrowhead, and
explained how she had found it. <br /><br />I looked over and found a bumpy one, "This is a strange one, it looks like cereal."<br /><br />"I know," She said, "it looks like oatmeal. It's called a Florida Fossil Stone."<br /><br />"This looks like Fool's Gold."<br /><br />"Yea, isn't it Pyrite? Yes, here it is, Pyrite...and here is a Citrine Point...and look at the Orthoceras..."<br /> <br />The moment was really special.<br /><br />I
can't believe that I almost lost that moment all together. I can't
believe that I let my learned responses get in the way of really
engaging and finding out something new. How could I assume I could have
gone back later and had just as meaningful of a moment? I had seen
most of the stones before in my life, but I had never seen the ones that
Shirin had panned out. How could I just glance over it like it was
nothing to write home about?<br /></div>

<br />It's so easy to respond the same way to Christmastime in
December or Easter in the spring. Along the way there are so many
treasures to behold. Maybe it's because I think I have seen it all
before or maybe it's the pile of laundry in my arms but moments can slip
by with nothing but a meaningless glance. Like the news of Shirin
loosing her tooth, every time I hear that Christmas is coming it should
make me excited for the celebration of remembering Jesus' birth.
Instead when a Christmas song starts to play in the store it makes me
think about what I'm to accomplish before that day arrives with a series
of thoughts barely related to the joy the Holiday brings. <br /><br />What
can make us drop the clothes and focus in for a real connection? Maybe
it's a new ornament, a drive to look at Christmas lights, experiencing a
drive-through manger scene, trying a new recipe, providing a gift
wrapping service or singing in the church choir. Maybe it's a prayer
that God would bring the tooth...or should I say the truth...into
focus. What about a new Advent reading plan. <a href="https://www.bible.com/?utm_source=December+2013+iPray&utm_campaign=iPray+eVotional&utm_medium=socialshare" rel="nofollow" shape="rect" style="color: #0a4061; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">(YouVersion</a>
has some really good ones this year.) That we would not just glance
but experience new and creative ways to make us stop, drop the clothes
and really see what it is He is holding in His hand. Maybe it's a
prayer that what we see will not be what we think or what we expect, but
instead it's something that changes our view of, our connection with
and our response to Jesus.<br /><br />There are treasures to behold if we
are willing to look up and marvel at them. There are different
textures, colors and shapes unique to this year of celebrating.
Something has to grab us out of those learned holiday responses that
have no connection to the heart of the season. <br /></div>

thing about the treasures that Shirin found are that they were not
stumbled upon. They were searched out and found. She picked up a pan,
dumped it in sandy water and sifted until treasures emerged. She did
not hide them away but she marveled at them and found a way to get
others excited as well. In order to find our treasures this season we
need to be sifting through the days as a miner would. <br /><br />I'm
already starting to think as a miner. As we were getting down our
Christmas decorations this year my son, Frederick, asked me if he could
make a Christmas House. At first I sort of kept up with what I was
doing and said, "We are decorating so we will have a Christmas House."<br /><br />"No
mom, you know some people at Halloween time have haunted houses, but I
don't want to do something scary. I want it to be funny, I want to make
a Christmas House. People can come walk through and see all kinds of
things and laugh instead of be afraid."<br /><br />You know what went
through my brain? Two things: First, what a fun idea. Second, what a
lot of work. I almost answered with a very sandy response, "Maybe, I'll
think about it." When I realized that it was time to think like a
miner. Here was a treasure of an idea that could connect us to
Christmas in a meaningful way instead of going along just glancing at
what the season is all about. I stopped and looked at my sons face.
With a bright smile he waited to hear my response. His genuine
excitement came into focus. <br /><br />"Please mom." Would I just glance at the idea or would I really take a look?<br /><br />"Yes,
this could probably happen." I said as I silently sifted the sand away
to allow this treasure to emerge. "Something different that would make
us really focus, marvel, explore and enjoy the details."<br /><br />Soon we
had a paper and pen and we were planning out what our walk-through
Christmas House could look like. "We could do it in our back yard..."
"Yes, and we could have puppets..." "We could have music too..." "We
could also have a narrator that has funny dialog along the way..." "The
fort could be an observatory where the wise men are gazing at
stars..." "Yes, and our gazebo-like awning could be an angel's dance
party with the shepherds near by..." "Our hot tub bar can become a
puppet show..." <br /><br />The ideas were wonderful. It excited us to sit
down and really think about the treasures of Christmas and how we could
put those treasures into a Christmas House. How we could help others
laugh a little bit like I did with Shirin's tooth joke and then stop and
focus in on the true treasures of Christmas.<br /></td></tr>

save our mining for a single holiday day such as Christmas or Easter?
Put on your miner gear, let the sand of halfhearted glances, "'I'll come
back to that later" attitudes or, "It's too much work" responses sift
away. May we never over look what is special and unique about Jesus'
life on earth. As we open our pamphlet (<a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%201-2&version=NLT&utm_source=December+2013+iPray&utm_campaign=iPray+eVotional&utm_medium=socialshare" rel="nofollow" shape="rect" style="color: black; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Luke 1 & 2</a>) that tells us about the treasures, may we be awed once again.<br /><br />One
way to keep our sifting eyes alert is to get involved in an Advent
Bible Reading Plan. These plans take only minutes a day! There are
some really great ones this year. Find a non-traditional twist on
Advent, explore the humble beginning of the Savior, get daily
devotionals or receive song devotionals from popular Christian artist.
Check it all out by clicking here: <a href="https://s3.amazonaws.com/web-assets.youversion.com/html-email/2013-1201-advent/advent+en.html?utm_source=December+2013+iPray&utm_campaign=iPray+eVotional&utm_medium=socialshare" rel="nofollow" shape="rect" style="color: black; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Advent Bible Reading Plans</a>.<br /><br />Then
December 25th will not only be the climax of the season it was meant to
be but it will also be a day that magnifies the joy we already have in
our hearts. <br /><br />When Christmas arrives this year let's make sure we
have a canvas bag bulging with treasures to share with others. May we
hold up our bags and exclaim, "I mined and gathered so many treasures,
you wont believe it!"<br /></td></tr>

For many years I worked as a Family

or have had to be modified and/or changed to fit our family's needs,
they still exist! </div>

Make a special "Reindeer Mix" with one cup of oats, one cup of barley,
and two spoonfuls of gold glitter. It's a secret recipe that comes
straight from the North Pole, and is just what the reindeer need to fuel
them for their evening of delivering gifts. On Christmas Eve, instruct
your children to leave the mix o n the driveway, front lawn, or any
other spot where the reindeer might want to rest and enjoy a snack.
After the kids have gone to bed, clear most of the mix away, leaving
just a few oats as evidence that the reindeer have made their visit.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is a
wonderful way to organize your holiday To-Do list, so you can actually
enjoy the festivities. Make a paper chain with 24 Gingerbread Men, and
write the numbers 1 through 24 on the front of each one. Make a list of
all the things you need to do during the month of December and write
one on the back of each Gingerbread Man (buy the Christmas tree,
decorate the Christmas tree, hang the outdoor lights, decorate inside
the house, make homemade cookies, donate toys, wrap presents, and mail
the out-of-town gifts, etc.) Breaking the month of December down into
one small task a day will make the holidays fun instead of
overwhelming. At the same time, it will show your children that there
is more to Christmas than just treats and presents. Your children will
love taking Gingerbread Man down each day to discover which Christmas
task they can help you with next.</span></span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="color: #6e6e6e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">
<span style="color: black;">December
first is the perfect time to start your family "Kindness Box" for the
holidays. Wrap a shoebox as if it were a present, then cut a slot in
the top and place the box, along with a pencil and pad of paper, on the
dining room table or under your Christmas tree. When someone in the
family notices someone else being kind they should write that act down
and slip the note in the box. Young children can participate as well,
by either drawing a picture or telling mom what they saw and having her
jot down the kind deed. Don't forget to slip in ways God shows His
kindness to us. On Christmas Eve, when everyone gathers around to read
the Christmas story, open the Kindness Box first and read the notes
aloud. Then you can end with explaining that the kindest act of all is
what God did for us by sending Jesus to us on the very first Christmas
ever. Then read the Christmas story. There are several age appropriate
books as well as reading it straight from the Bible. This is a
wonderful way to take the focus off presents and put it on something of
true value.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: black;">This
tradition is a new twist on making a wish list of what we want for
Christmas. You create a pouch, for each family member, to hold the
Christmas wish list. Fold a 10" x 4" piece of construction paper in
half, punch 3-4 holes on each of three sides, and lace around it with
festive string or ribbon. Tie it at the top, leaving extra ribbon for
hanging. Have fun decorating them with each person's name, and feel
free to make one for Grandma and Grandpa, or any other out-of town
people. Hang these "Wish List Pouches" where they will be accessible to
all family members. Instead of adding to your own list of what sort of
stuff you might want, family members will add to others' lists of what
they would like to see other family members receive. Maybe brother
knows that sister loves candy canes and he can wish she gets some candy
canes in her stocking this year. But even better is to write down "good
tidings of great joy" type of wishes. Maybe great grandpa has a bad
hip, someone can wish that he feels better really soon. Before
Christmas dinner have everyone open up their wish list and read all of
their wonderful wishes. It's like receiving wonderful blessings placed
upon their lives and these are gifts that can't be broken or worn out!</span></span></div>

<tr><td align="left" colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="text-align: left;"><br />When I read the book, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Redeeming Love</span> I was captivated, stolen away and taken on a journey that changed the way I viewed so many things in my life. I flew through hundreds of pages without a second thought that it might be a waste of time or that it was taking me away from anything better I could have been doing. It was a book that I could not put down.<br /><br />I have another book with fewer pages that I have been reading for 3 years. It came highly recommended and I love the subject but I can't seem to finish it. When I first started reading it, it captured my attention with compelling thoughts, great scenarios, and biblical perspectives. After the first couple of chapters everything I read started to sound the same as what had already been said. Soon, page after page started to blend together and what I read seemed to lose its meaning. I became increasingly bored when I picked it up. I found myself saying, "Okay, I got that. What else do you have for me?" I started to wonder if all the chapters were just saying the same thing over and over again. I would keep reading believing that surely this could not be true and expecting that at any minute a new epiphany would hit me in the face. I would take breaks before dusting off the book to make another go at it. Finally, I ended up putting the book down and stopped reading it altogether. I hope to finish it someday.<br /><br />This is sometimes how my prayer life looks, like an old stale book whose chapters seem to say the same old thing over and over again with the same old predictable outcomes of nothing new. Praying the same things until it loses its spark. Reading scriptures and stories to support my prayers that all start to blend together in content. Yada yada yada. I tend to put the book down and forget about it for a time before I pick it back up, only to quickly become bored again. When I get stuck in this rut praying tends to lose its meaning and purpose, easily tempting me to put it aside with only a fading hope that my prayer time could be more meaningful.<br /><br />What can we do to make our prayer life new, relevant and alive the way it was meant to be? How can our prayer time thrive and be fresh day after day? When we pick up that book and turn our thoughts toward our Lord, we want to make sure there is NOTHING stale about it! <br /><br />First, let's Mad Lib.<br /></td></tr>

<tr><td align="left" colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="text-align: left;"><br />In 1958 at a New York restaurant Leonard Stern and Roger Price sat eating their Eggs Benedict when they came up with a name for their invention. The two overheard an argument between a talent agent and an actor. The actor said that he wanted to "ad-lib" an upcoming interview. The agent retorted that ad-libbing an interview would be "mad." Their new invention found its name... Mad Libs! <br /><br />It's a phrasal template word game where one player prompts another for a list of words to substitute for blanks in a story before reading the often comical or nonsensical story aloud. For example, the sentence, "My <span style="text-decoration: underline;">mom</span> gave birth to me in a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">hospital</span> many years ago" makes perfect sense.

<tr><td align="left" colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="text-align: left;"><br />When prayer becomes mundane and all scripture starts to sound the same, it's time to step away and let the unseen spirit of God fill in the blanks. WHAT? That is madness! Yes, it does seem like madness when most of the time we come to the Lord knowing exactly what we want to say and how we want to say it. We know our memorized prayers and fall into our routine requests. When we are having trouble we tend to pray for it to just stop. We fail to pray God's will into the situation in such a way that we get excited about what God may be doing and how our lives are being transformed.<br /><br />Agents of the world ask these questions:<br />Seriously, do you really think that just praying about something will accomplish anything? Do you really think that saying words against evil changes anything? You are no good at praying the way you want to, right? Scripture was written thousands of years ago, how can you really use it to pray in this day and age? Who are you to pray? Don't you need to study up and really understand everything before you even think about communicating with God?<br /><br />Living in the Spirit, praying His words and as He leads should be my norm but truth is I am often guilty of a snared-up prayer life. It can feel like madness to step away from the same old prayers, but faith requires a little bit of flying by the seat of our pants action- trusting in God and His word and His ways over our own understanding.<br /><br />I see Mad Prayers as life template prayer-sessions where a pray-er asks God for spiritual and biblical principles to substitute for the blanks in a situation that would be otherwise filled in with boring, fleshly non-supernatural thoughts. Without knowing how the situation will play out, the principles are inserted into the prayers even when it may feel unrealistic or senseless.<br /><br />For example, these are typical and flesh-driven thoughts:<br /><br /><em>"I am so angry that my neighbor drove over my rose bushes and he does not seem to be apologetic. Since he just makes excuses and refuses to do the right thing I want to be bitter, take revenge, do what ever it takes to make him pay, and give him a bad name in our neighborhood. I may have to sue him if it comes to that so that justice is served."</em><br /><br />Which leads to typical prayers:<br /><br /><em>"Dear Lord, Please make my neighbor see that he should apologize and not make excuses. In fact he should step up and just pay for what he destroyed! Help me rally up the support I need to make sure justice is served. When I talk to Tom across the street make Tom be on my side."</em><br /><br />Notice that the typical prayer does not change any of the typical flesh-driven thoughts.<br /><br />Mad Praying changes a typical prayer by inserting spirit-led biblical principles into the situation and turns typical thoughts upside down. It could sound like this:<br /><br /><em>"Dear Lord, help me show love to my neighbor who drove over my rose bushes even though he does not seem to be apologetic. Since he just makes excuses and refuses to do the right thing help me to be forgiving in my heart, put on grace, do what ever it takes to make peace and refrain from gossip. Lead me in every action I take in this situation and in it may I not forget that justice is Yours for You are a just God. May I pray for him before anything. I pray Acts 21:32 over him... I commit my neighbor to You, God, and the word of Your grace, which can build him up and give him an inheritance among all those who are sanctified. In Jesus Name, Amen"</em><br /><br />It's just Madness! Not praying for the easy solution but instead praying that the situation transforms me and everyone else as well. It may not feel or seem right to pray these spiritual and biblical truths into a situation when our flesh wants to do the opposite, but the result of Mad Praying can be quite thrilling. One that increases our faith, gets us excited about what God might do, unleashes God's power and brings salvation to the lost. <br /></td></tr>

<tr><td align="left" colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> <br />Personalizing scripture without changing the heart behind it can be a page turner in your prayer life. Let's try it out.<br /><br />Read First Corinthians 13:1-3<br />"If I <span style="text-decoration: underline;">speak in the tongues of men and of angels</span>, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of <span style="text-decoration: underline;">prophecy</span>and can <span style="text-decoration: underline;">fathom all mysteries</span> and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">all knowledge</span>, and if I have a faith that can <span style="text-decoration: underline;">move mountains</span>, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess <span style="text-decoration: underline;">to the poor</span> and surrender my body <span style="text-decoration: underline;">to the flames</span>, but have not love, I gain nothing. "<br /><br />Years ago I personalized the underlined parts, making the charge real to me:<br />If I <span style="text-decoration: underline;">give my children direction, answer my husband's question and call everyone to dinner</span> but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of <span style="text-decoration: underline;">folding clothes</span> and can <span style="text-decoration: underline;">fix broken toys</span> and<span style="text-decoration: underline;"> place band aids on boo boos</span>, and if I have faith that can <span style="text-decoration: underline;">put a colicky baby to sleep</span>, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to <span style="text-decoration: underline;">diapers, feedings and walks to the parks</span>, and surrender my body to <span style="text-decoration: underline;">grey hairs and lack of manicures</span>, but have not love, I gain nothing.<br /><br />Today I did it again...<br />If I <span style="text-decoration: underline;">encourage others to pray</span> but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of <span style="text-decoration: underline;">organizing and planning events</span> and <span align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: underline;">can get my kids to and from practices, rehearsals and every other activity on time</span>, and if I have faith that can <span style="text-decoration: underline;">add more hours onto a single day and can remove the shekels of bondage</span>, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to <span style="text-decoration: underline;">keeping my family and pets alive and well</span>, and surrender my body to <span style="text-decoration: underline;">the persevering work of the Lord through every kind of trouble and victory</span>, but have not love, I gain nothing.<br /><br />Now it's your turn, first think about what you are dealing with right now and fill in the blanks:<br />If I ___________________________________ but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of _____________ and can __________________ and _________________, and if I have faith that _______________________, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to ___________________ and surrender my body to ________________________, but have not love, I gain nothing.<br /><br />Next, continue reading First Corinthians 13:4-8a<br />"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."<br /><br />When you put it THAT way you can personalize what love is in a very real way that pertains to your present season of life. <br /><br />Finally, think about how you just filled in those blanks and start Mad Praying love into your very real situations and into the areas that might be very hard to love using 1st Corinthians 13:4-8...<br /><br /><em>"Lord may I be patient and kind when __________. May I not envy, boast or be proud when _________. May I not be rude, self-seeking or be easily angered when ________________. May I keep no record of wrongs or delight in evil when ____________. May I rejoice with the truth when __________. May I always protect, trust, hope, persevere when _________, Help me trust Your word that says with this kind of love I will never fail. In Jesus name amen."</em><br /></td></tr>

What is it you need prayer for? Is it deliverance? Healing? Protection? Revival? New Passion? Refrain from what YOUR FELSH thinks should be prayed which will always disappoint you and cause you to give up on praying altogether. Instead ask the Lord to show you how to pray according to His will. If you do not feel confident with your knowledge of His will, seek and you will find!

A plethora of scriptures will pop up. Ask the Lord to lead you to the right scriptures, to keep you in His will while praying in His spirit. It's madness I know, but I assure you that God's word does not go back to Him empty (Isaiah 55:11) and His Spirit is in your heart when you cry, "Abba! Father!" (Galatians 4:6) Take the truth of scripture along with the prompting of His Spirit, pray it into your life and WOWZEE!!! You don't have to try to speak perfect words from your brain because when God's Spirit intercedes for us, BAM, everything changes. Hours might pass before you realize it. As you go out it will be all you can think about and you will find yourself carving out time to get back to it.<br /><br />Does it seem a little out there to talk about prayer so passionately? Like a book that you just can't put down? Pick up the prayer life God intended for you to have! Don't let the agents of this world tell you it can't be like that. Seek and you will find. Ask and it will be given to you. Knock and the door will be opened. "Pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people." Ephesians 6:18</td></tr>

<br /></div>
This is a great way to put your Thanksgiving guests in a thankful mood.
Make or purchase paper leaves in autumn-colors as you have guests.
Make or purchase a table-top Thanksgiving Tree, or have a basket or bowl
handy. Ask each person to write down what they are thankful for on a
leaf. Tie little ribbons through a hole in the top of each leaf, so
they can be hung on your "Thankful Tree." If you have one of those
little wrought iron trees that you can set on your Thanksgiving table,
this will make a beautiful centerpiece. If you do not have a tree the
leaves can be placed in a basket or bowl on the dinner table. Take turns
reading them as you enjoy dessert, then save them to add to the
collection from years past. You can preserve this history by adding
them to a Thanksgiving album as an after dinner activity. Everyone,
especially children, will enjoy looking back over the years and reading
what they were thankful for.</td></tr>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
This tradition requires a
little advance preparation, but the results make the effort more than
worthwhile. A few weeks before Turkey Day, prepare and email a
questionnaire to everyone invited. Plan your questions so that the
answers will reveal funny tidbits of your family history that not
everyone has heard before. Whoever knew that grandpa was a tightrope
walker in the Canadian Circus, or that mom went bungee jumping on spring
break while she was in college? Ask all of your guests to bring these
answered questions and play a fun game of Family Trivia after dinner. </div>

If
you are not hosting the big dinner, then here's your chance to
contribute to the holiday. Make a yearly gazette! It can be done the
old fashion way with paper and markers, done using an online template or
it can be a video gazette. This tradition involves turning your family
into a news crew, and is especially fun with a big crowd. Assign
everyone in the family a task to be responsible for throughout the day.
The older children can act as reporters and photographers, while the
adults can be the interviewees. Every year choose one of the eldest
family members and make their life history the headline news. The
younger children can even help, by contributing to the "art" section of
the gazette. Don't forget inside family jokes, and a quote for the
day. Finish it up by the end of the day, print and pass out a copy to
everyone. Don't spent too much time making it perfect, it's the
imperfections that can become the best touches. Be sure to send extra
copies to family members who couldn't attend your Thanksgiving Dinner.</div>

Giving Thanks </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br />Thanksgiving is a
wonderful time to express appreciation to someone that has done
something special for you, or touched you in some way. At each person's
place setting leave a blank card and pen, and let them know that before
dessert is served a letter of thanks must be written. It is a nice
time to look back and reflect on the year and those important people in
our lives. Young children can dictate their thank-you letter to mom or
dad, and even include some "art from the heart." Once the letters have
been written, provide each person with a stamped envelope, so it is easy
to finish this touching task. </div>

There’s usually a price<br />

Sometimes I float<br />

I have more than one fin<br />
Can you guess who I am?<br />

<br />
Most of my spills come after prolonged build up and lazy
procrastination. When I am preparing meals in the kitchen I am a
clean-as-you-go kind of girl. By the time dinner is on the table most
of the pots and pans I used are in the dish washer rather than piled up
waiting to be dealt with. <br />
<br />
I wish I was a clean-as-you-go kind
of girl in all areas of the house. 90% of the time, tucked out of
sight, I have mounds of layered projects and papers needing to be
organized and gone through. When I need something on the bottom of the
pile and try jimmying it out, piles of papers end up spilling every
which way. That is when I finally spend the time I need to get
organized and clean up what had built up. <br />
<br />
When it comes down to
it, the higher the piles get the more likely a spill is coming. An
inevitable spill ultimately brings me to my knees to deal with what is
being ignored. It's the issues that are tucked away in some corner, the
ones that are harder to deal with that tend to pile up in my heart and
in my spirit. They keep me from being a pray-as-you-go type of girl.
They keep me from everyday going to God's word, allowing God's spirit to
work in me and spilling my heart out so that my cup can overflow. </div>

<br />
The other day I was having coffee with a new friend. We were
talking about prayer and I guess I am passionate about the subject. As I
got caught up in the moment the Italian in me must have taken over and
before I knew it I had backhanded my Starbucks cup. The contents
spilled all over my prayer booklet as well as my light grey pants. I'm
not talking about a coffee sprinkle, I'm talking about a gush of
steaming hot pumpkin spiced latte cascading over the side of the table
and rapidly roaring down the canyon of my lap. Quickly absorbing the
substance, my entire front end took on a messy brown demeanor. So much
for stopping by the store before picking up the kids - I had to go home
and get cleaned up. Funny thing is, my laundry basket at home just
happened to be spilling over as well. <br />
<br />
Spills are messy. For
the most part the first reaction to a spill is not one of opportunity,
it's more likely frustration about the mess it made or maybe
embarrassment of what it says about me. I'm probably not the only one
that avoids modeling my spills. Walking to my car with unnaturally
brown pants shouts out, "Hey everyone, I'm a mess! Look at how clumsy I
am. Look at how absent minded I can be. Look at the mess I make of
everything I touch. Look at how lazy I am by not cleaning up."<br />
<br />
The
thing about sporting a mess is that until it's clean I make unnatural
adjustments to avoid people seeing it. When my pants are messy I walk
behind a row of cars acting oblivious to the sidewalk on the other
side. When my house is messy, I forget my manners and keep people at
bay. When a relationship is messy, I cover it up with awkward smiles.
When my feelings are messy, I sweep them under a happy-carpet facade so
nobody notices.<br />
<br />
No matter how hard we try to keep our messes out
of sight, it's only a matter of time before the mess starts to rear it's
ugly head in public. Sometimes we need a good spill that forces us to
go home and get cleaned up. <br />
<br />
Sometimes it takes a spill to get
us to pray. When we pray we are not returning to an orphanage to find a
cold caretaker without the time or desire to know us personally. We
return to our home to find a loving Father ready to take our burdens and
make them light. A compassionate Father that is ready to give a yoke
that is easy. We encounter a patient Father ready to forgive and a
generous Father ready to pour out his blessings. </div>

Just
like my latte cup, my life cup tends to be the victim of unintentional
backhands. As I harbor garbage to the very brim, holding the cup with
both hands and walking slowly trying to protect it, there is no room for
God to work on my heart. Even if there was a drop He could add, it
would quickly be contaminated and disappear in the mess. I'm setting
myself up for quite a mess after I carefully set the cup down and then
my absent minded Italian arms go flying around.<br />
<br />
When my life cup
takes a spill it's my cue, time to spill my heart out! Get rid of the
mess. God accepts it all. He wants us to be real before Him. When we
pray to get cleaned up we must spill our hearts out before the Lord. No
matter what it is. It may be an unresolved issue, a sin struggle,
bitterness for the way something turned out, an unanswered prayer, built
up pain, a need for understanding, a lack of trust, a wavering faith,
perpetual apathy, an unwilling heart, or maybe it's something you think
is just too messy to ever be cleaned up. Whatever it is, God's grace is
sufficient for you, His power is made perfect in weakness. (<a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Corinthians+12%3A9&version=NIV&utm_source=October+2013+iPray&utm_campaign=iPray+eVotional&utm_medium=socialshare" rel="nofollow" shape="rect" style="color: black; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">2 Corinthians 12:9</a>)<br />
<br />
It
doesn't stop there. After the junk is gone the Holy Spirit is ready to
rinse and renew. Why leave any drops of old, leftover latte in your cup
only to have God's living water taste like watered down, stale
caffeine?<br />
<br />
God takes our spills so that our life cups are clean
from even the tiniest drop of caffeine induced self-reliance, selfish
motives and annoying attitudes. He wants us to be clean so that He can
start to fill our life cups with His love, His way, His purpose...His
living water.</td></tr>

Psalm 23:5 says, "You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows."<br />

<div style="font-size: 11pt;">
Notice
that scripture does not say God fills us up to over spill. Spilling
leaves us empty. He fills up our cup so that it overflows! Permanent
life altering and everlasting beautified ingredients being graciously
and continuously poured into our life cups. Filled up and overflowing
with His kindness, goodness, compassion and so much more. His blessings
never run out for His mercies are new every morning.<br />

himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you."<br />

Nothing
quenches like His living water. Nothing nourishes like His daily
bread. Nothing else can fill us up with more satisfaction and
wholeness. When we pray with a heart willing to receive the good stuff,
our cups overflows!<br />

Titus
3:5 says, "He saved us, not because of works done by us in

Just Like a Pumpkin...</div>
<div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Being a Christian is like the journey of a Fall pumpkin: God picks you from the patch, brings you in, and washes all the dirt off you may have gotten from the other pumpkins. Then he cuts the top off and scoops out all the yucky stuff. He removes the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc. Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside of you to shine for all the world to see. This tradition is a fun way to make this concept come to life. Once a year around Halloween or in the Fall gather your family or any group of people. Each member can have their own pumpkin or they can group up to work as a team. Each pumpkin should be placed on a gunk-proof placemat with a carving knife and scooping spoons close by. Have tea light or battery-operated candles in a bag next to you. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><u>With your own pumpkin lead the group in these 7 steps:</u></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #999999; font-size: x-large;">1. </span><span style="color: #999999;">Have everyone examine and touch their pumpkins as you talk about how a pumpkin is like us. It has an outside and an inside. The outside is what people see. The inside is like our soul or our heart. A pumpkin left to itself will soon rot and die. We will die some day too. Say, "You aren't a pumpkin, but all of us are something like one. God picks you from the patch, brings you in, and washes all the dirt off you may have gotten from the other pumpkins."</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #999999; font-size: x-large;">2. </span><span style="color: #999999;">Lead the group in carving out eyes and a small "o" shaped mouth. As you make the holes and pull out the pieces of rind, ask them what they see inside (yucky stuff). Say, "This is what we look like to others and what we are like when our hearts are not changed. The hearts of men are full of evil and there is madness in their hearts while they live (Ecclesiastes 9:3). How can we get rid of this icky stuff?" </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #999999;">3.</span><span style="color: #999999;"> </span></span><span style="color: #999999;">Lead the group in carving an opening in the top of the pumpkin big enough to put your hand through. Say, "God is the only one who can change our heart. But in order for God to change our heart we must become open to him." You might want to quote Revelation 3:20: Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #999999;">4.</span><span style="color: #999999;"> </span></span><span style="color: #999999;">Have your group put their hands in their pumpkins and pull out the insides. Say, "God scoops out all the yucky stuff inside of us. He removes the seeds of doubt, hate, impurity, and greed." Talk about the cross and how Jesus was willing to become messy for us, so that we might be clean. God says this: I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. (Ezekiel 36:25b-27).</span><span style="color: #999999; font-size: x-small;"> </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">5. </span>After the pumpkins are clean say, "If we leave a pumpkin with just the insides taken out, then it's just hollow. We need to have a light inside that will truly make us alive! Jesus said, 'I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.'" Pass out little candles. Have the group add a light to the inside of their pumpkins. Say, "When Jesus lives inside of you, you glow!"</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #999999;">6.</span><span style="color: #999999;"> </span></span><span style="color: #999999;">At this point lead the group in carving the mouths into smiles! Say, "God carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside of you to shine for all the world to see."</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">7. </span>Let each person share where they are going to put their pumpkin so that it can be seen. Say, "God has a wonderful plan for you, He has given you gifts and talents. He is growing your character too. When you follow His lead He will purposefully place you in the perfect spot so that all can see His light shinning in and through you. You can trust that He knows where you need to be in order for your light to be seen.</span></div>

<br />
This tradition puts a new spin on a favorite childhood game...Musical Chairs. It's perfect for a Fall party. Invite each person to bring a costume in a brown bag that can be put on over regular street clothes. Everyone takes a seat and places their own bag under a chair. Turn on some music and play a game of musical chairs (with a chair for each person). When the music stops, each guest must take the brown bag from underneath their chair and wear whatever costume is inside for the rest of the evening. Your guests will bring outrageous costumes because they know they won't have to wear them. Be prepared for an evening full of laughter. Year after year, this tradition becomes more hilarious as your guests bring wilder costumes.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Go through your old Halloween photos and choose any that show family members or friends dressed up. Make 2 copies of every photo you want to use. Cut them into identical rectangles (maybe 2" by 2") and create a memory game your family will never get tired of. You can add new photos each year. If you don't remember how to play the game, it's pretty simple. Place all cards on the table, face down in even rows. Take turns turning two over at a time as you try to find pairs. If someone turns over a pair on their turn they get to keep the cards. Whoever has the most pairs when the cards have all been picked up, is the winner. This will soon become a family favorite.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br />This is a tradition that reminds everyone that all we have is a gift and the value of giving back. Gather your family asking them to bring their bags of collected Halloween candy. Talk about how God made everything and all that we have has been given by Him. Since God has given us so much, we want to give back. By giving back to God, we show Him that we love Him and are thankful for what He has given us. Discuss how God asks us to give Him the first 10% of what we are given. Have each candy collector count their Halloween candy and put the first piece of every ten aside. Come up with ways that your family can give the candy "back to God". It may be to give the candy to someone who was unable to trick-or-treat due to sickness. Your family could call a local shelter and see if your family can take the candy to children there. Another idea is to send the candy to military troops who are stationed away from home. Pray about where God would like your family to tithe this year. Before bagging up the Candy Tithe read a few verses from the Bible about giving: <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts%2020:35&version=NIV&utm_source=4+Traditions+4+Halloween&utm_campaign=Traditions&utm_medium=socialshare" linktype="1" rel="nofollow" shape="rect" style="color: blue;" target="_blank" track="on">Acts 20:35</a> and <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Corinthians%209:7&version=NIV&utm_source=4+Traditions+4+Halloween&utm_campaign=Traditions&utm_medium=socialshare" linktype="1" rel="nofollow" shape="rect" style="color: blue;" target="_blank" track="on">2 Corinthians 9:7</a> are good ones. Each year the value of giving back will become an important part of candy collecting.</span></div>
