Saturday, March 10th...Springing forward on our clock tonight and springing forward in our attitude! I decided to only speak of positives- I choose to see the vision of meeting our girls in Latvia. I choose to see us bringing them home. I choose to hear their laughter in our house. I choose to believe. Today, I got a letter from MSU Vet Camp...Rita has been accepted for a full scholarship to their 3 day Vet Camp in June. My job is just to get her there...well, technically, God's job is to get her there. We will do whatever it takes, whatever is required, whatever! We have faced so many delays in this process that it just doesn't seem to matter anymore. You know when you get news that would normally make you double over, but instead you just say 'whatever', you are becoming 'seasoned'. Sort of like a steak that has been beaten to the point it is now tender enough to cut with a fork...yeah, we are there!
Wednesday night at sundown started the Jewish holiday of Purim. This, of course, goes back to Queen Esther's bold appearance before King Ahasuerus to plead for the deliverance of her people. So Purim is a celebration of the day of deliverance from oppression. Wednesday night, I was invited to give my presentation on Israel to Living Waters Church. I only had a few days notice, but everything went great (ok, there were a couple of technical diffficulties with my 6 year old computer, but I was able to fill the gap with stories of our trip). I felt it was a day of deliverance from the oppression that has been over us. A day I decided to appear before the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords and ask for His mercy and favor. I know He is faithful to hold out that golden sceptor to us, His children.
Lera's sister told me she has been praying so hard for everything to get approved and she feels like March 21 will be a good day. I'm agreeing with her...a new season, a new chapter, a new beginning. A start to a new life. March 21, 2012. Lord, hear your children! We ask for favor, for supernatural intervention. Lord, we ask that you work your miracles for us!!! You are the only one who can make this happen.
2 Timothy 4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.
1 Corinthians 9:24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
Hebrew 12:1 Therefore, seeing we also are compassed about with so great cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which does so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.
