Whoa. First of all, let me say I love God with all my heart, soul and spirit and would never want His job I have difficulty doing my own job at times. Let me set the stage for you and tell you what happened so you can see God in this. I will also leave a link at the end with Abigailes caringbridge page so that you can see God in yesterday also. When we think He isn't there, or aren't thinking about it, He is there. I want to share two stories very relevant to our well-being and to our daughters care and our lives. Let me tell you, God is there !
We are tooling right along waiting for things to happen in our lives. It is not something that we are dependent upon, but have been told it will happen. Today I got a phone call and was told those very things were no longer in our control, no longer going to happen, and we would be at the disposal of someone else. Someone, that might not have the same interests, the same goals, or the same faith that we do. I reacted with the flesh or no that can't happen, and anger hit me. Then I was hurt, felt betrayed, lied to and suddenly I trusted no one. Those people working for us to get us to this point, a slap in the face. So much for trusting. I had to stop thinking, ask the person on the other side of the phone, "Please repeat this so I can understand, process and simply try and understand why, how this could happen. What did we do wrong? Are you following me? If so, and you can say I have been there. This story is for you. Yes it really happened. If you think about it this is common when the enemy is at hand. We were then told there is nothing WE can do about it, everything in regard to your daughter is going to be at the control helm of someone else, another thing I don't like. I am a parent. I need to be included on my daughters care, decisions made regarding her care. Not that this is a bad person, but I know my child I know what has been working, what hasn't. I prayed before I stuck my foot in my mouth, and told the person on the other end of the line. I don't understand but I trust and so we have God carry us. Here is what my flash felt initially:
they are cold, heartless and callous ! Then, God began to speak to me, "hey you remember Me? I am! It stopped me in my tracks. I went to the book (electronically speaking) of Ephesians. I went looking for okay, hear me out enemy this is what God says, and I know when God speaks and what He says is truth!` I was bragging on God earlier in the day at Deuteronomy 6 talking about the awesome home that He has for us, and how He (God) has supplied everything we will need for it. It was hours later that the enemy was already trying to take it away. God put me in the book of Ephesians 6. Glory to God! The next thing I saw was this: The LORD your God directed me to teach you to observe in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess so that you your children and their children after them may fear the LORD your God as long as you live by keeping all his decrees and commands that I give you so that you may enjoy long life. I know that the Word of God never lies, and God is no respector of persons. If you are His child, you are His child! Hear O Israel be careful to obey so that it may go well with you and that you may increase greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey just as the LORD the God of your fathers promised youGod promised follow His Word Deut 6:1-3 He said, if you abide by my Word you have my promise. I (Paris) am not perfect but I do know that God stays true to His Word. I am going to give you in my Word what you already know to do: It's a reaffirmation: For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. NIV Eph. 6:12 I was hoping that He would say, here I'll just take care of that situation for you, we have to meet Him halfway, remember He has already fought the battle for us, we have to have faith so we can receive that blessing of deliverance. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. Eph 6:13-15 then there was addition to this: In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18And 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 saints. Eph. 6:16-19 Then this is a good reminder anytime! 19Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, 20for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should. Eph. 19-20. Glory be to God! I know when I entrust everything that is rightfully His already, me, my family and anything that is in our possession of His trust He is carrying us, and He (God has already won the battle) Amen.
with much love,
and walking in Gods love,
Paris for the four fab Golecs
