Eldaah I'm not at all offended. I think it's well written-- truthful and purposeful. And I also think you have nailed it straight on the head with: I must step out of my comfort zone. To me it's exactly that.

There are many times I fail God by being too insecure, too nervous, too worried and do not go where I'm being led. And that is exactly what it is: stepping out of my comfort zone. Sometimes I remind myself it will never be a comfort zone if I can't test out the waters.

It's beautiful Eldaah. You have a gift for firing others up for God! You are God's cheerleader. That's a compliment, don't take offense. :) My gift is to teach. I do need to put myself in the position to do that more. Occasionally every Christian needs someone like you to come along and place God's fire underneath them - to remind them to take action for God. Thanks. :D

You ask what's going on in our lives. Mine can't be put into words easily. It has been a bit confusing and unstable lately. I only pray that I find myself resting in the care of the Lord when all is said and done. I'm sure I will as He and His grace are always with me whether I "feel" it or not.

Thank you, Eldaah.
You are so right!
I am at a cross-roads at the moment - and I will give my all to Him - whatever He asks. It's so easy to drift - thank you for reminding me!
God bless you.


Kanga - it's good to hear from you! I am praying for you and your family. God is good - He will bring you through this and into a safe place! Praying that you will know His peace and security in the hard times! God bless you, sister.

I gave a sermon once and the title was Comfort Zone/Facing The Giants, yes just like the movie, thanks Eldaah for your courage and for reminding me of what I should really be doing. May G-d continue to bless you and each and every one of us, and may we each be that vessel that G-d can use to reach out to others, to be able to minister to the lost and hurting, but most of all that we be willing to be used for His purposes, what can I say no offense taken here, I fully accept what you've written for me, mine and those that surround me, I humble myself before the L-rd.

I don't want to get off topic here but please pray for my son, who has been arrested and is in jail, his name is Rudy.

I will definitely be lifting this whole group WWJD Club in prayer.

I like a good challenge :)

Do you want to join the club?

I know. I wrote that because that is almost always the thing that stops me. I need to step out of my comfort zone and then I can do a lot more for Him.

Wow, that's strange I never thought I'd be called a cheerleader. lol :p Thanks for the compliments. I really want to do something for Him. And I know that if we were all completely sold-out to God we would definitely change the world greatly.

I've been and will continue to lift you up in prayer night and day. May God give you peace and strength as you go through this hard time. How are your kids doing?

Thank you, Eldaah.

God bless you, Sister. Don't hold back. Serve Him. When the devil tells you that it's not that important, give him a good kick in the face and tell him that He's a liar. (sorry I got a little violent. lol.)

That's not off topic. This club is always open for prayer requests and talking about other things. I didn't mean to hog all the attention. I will be praying for your son. May the Lord watch over him. God bless you sister.


Recently, I posted and told you guys about a mission trip that I wanted to go on. Well, I just called the agency to ask them about it, and they said it was already filled. I'm sorta bummed, but if it was God's will He would have kept it open. He must have another plan, so I'll wait on Him.

Sorry that didn't work out, bro, but:

1 Corinthians 2:9
However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him" —


God's got something better planned!
God bless you.

I've been and will continue to lift you up in prayer night and day. May God give you peace and strength as you go through this hard time. How are your kids doing?

Thank you all for the prayers, I know they are helping. :)

The kids are showing signs of stress; nightmares and insomnia. And we haven't even told them what all is going on. But, of course, they can sense it.

A lot of things are up in the air. We're not rushing into anything and the waiting to figure out what we ARE doing gets tedious sometimes. We might move across the country too. The reason I'm considering it is because the kids would be able to see their father much more. His job is adding to a lot of their stress. He's gone for a month or more at a time currently.

I mostly need patience right now. Patience w/ my kids who don't know why they are feeling stressed, and patience w/ God and His plan for our family.

Bless you.

I was working in my garden just now, and God pointed something out to me (I do some of my best meditating, thinking, and talking w/ God in the garden). Anyway, I knew you all would want to hear about it. :)

It's that my kids are fired up about going to, and participating in church this summer. :thumbsup: And, they are turning to God with their stress. They have been requesting that we pray at meal time more and more. They are also asking me questions about Jesus throughout the day. And their choice of bedtime story at night has been the bible lately. Praise God. :bow:

I've tried not to push thinking about and talking about God on them. Dh discourages it and tells them that I'm a Jesus freak bible thumper and he doesn't mean it as a compliment. So, I have had to wait for them to come to me with questions and requests. And, I just realized that they have been. Praise God that somewhere along the way they have learned that we can turn to the Lord first in all things.:prayer:

Praise the Lord for your undying faith in your home even when it's not easy, and the legacy you are providing to your children! God bless you Kanga, and your family too! Praying for you.

Thanks for the encouragement. I know that God has something in mind instead of that trip. And I know it's better than what I had planned.

God bless you.

Yes He does. I know He will always do what's best for me, and I will trust Him to provide a mission trip if He wants me to go on one.

I've been keeping them in my prayers especially, because I know that kind of situation can't be very easy on them. How old are they? I might have asked you that before.

I have been praying a lot about it this morning, and I think (but I'm not entirely sure) that God wants me to be a missionary to the American indians. Like I said, I'm not sure, but I'm leaning towards that. I'm staying open to God's leading, because I have a way of fooling myself about God's will. I have a lot of trouble telling His will. I wish He would just come right out and tell it to me out loud. lol.

Oh Eldaah, Eldaah, Eldaah... you sound like ME! I have been known to ask God to scream it to me so I can have it LOUD and CLEAR. :blush:

Help me out here-- I'm horrible at reciting scripture verbatium. Wasn't it Moses (?) who sought for something, God heard his request, but it took 21 days for the messenger to bring the answer back from God?

Or am I really far off????? :scratch:

Regardless, praying for you Eldaah.

I think we all feel like this - I know I do!
I think it was Daniel you're thinking of. (Dan10:12-14)
