......Little1, have you ever read or heard of a Book called;
"Hind's Feet on High Places"
By: Hannah Hurnard
This book is a beautiful allegory dramatizing the yearning of God's children to be led to new heights of love, joy, and victory.
(Follow a girl named Much-Afraid on her spiritual journey through difficult places with her two companions, Sorrow and Suffering. Learn how Much-Afraid overcomes her tormenting fears as she passes through many dangers and mounts at last to the High Places. There she gains a new name and returns to her valley of service, transformed by her union with the Loving Shepherd.)
Little1, Lightshineon and others should check out this wonderful Book!......


I will try and get a copy of this book. I have heard of it. Thank you Ignited-Faith.


I completed the last chapter of this book this morning at 6.30am! What a great book and I cannot believe what I read therein. I am amazed that God could use a simple book to explain so many wonderful truths. Usually I read a book within days but this one took over a week because I kept picking it up and putting it down to think about what I had just read. I am amazed that this book was pointed out to me at this stage in my life. God was definately in this situation. Thank you again Ignited-Faith. [sm=angel.gif]

Good Morning Little1,
You are so welcome!
(I can't get over that you read the whole book in less than a week!)
I Praise God that you were able to get the book, and for blessing you!
I pray the Lord protects and directs you on your path today!
(Thank God for God!!!)

Liveloved,
Amen about continued prayer for Little1 and her Husband!
I will be praying for you too! Romans 8:28 is true!
Thank you LL! You just inspired me to start a Prayer Book Journal!
There are many people and situations I want to remember to pray for.
A little journal will be a blessing to help remind me! God bless you!

I will pray for you likewise Liveloved. I hope all goes well and they find the root cause of your problem so that they can begin to effectively treat it.



sparkleingsnow -> RE: KINDRED SPIRITS - Encourage One Another (5/14/2008 2:34:59 PM)

Father, I ask for Your help for Liveloved as she goes through the MRI. That they will fine the cause of her problem and be able to treat it. Or if it is within Your will, that they will find nothing because You have already healed her. That You will fill her with Your peace.

Father, also asking for Your help and all that You know is best for Little_1 and her husband. That whatever this is, it will all work out to Your glory. And that You will bless them.

Also Father, I lift up Charished to You, as she has not been on in a few days, and I am concerned for her. Meet her every need Father. And Father for the ones that are on here whose needs I don't know, I know You know them. And I just ask for Your help and blessings for each one in the ways that You know are best. In Jesus precious name. Amen

Thank you for your prayers!

Talked with my doctor today and found out that things look really good. I do have a neurological condition that I've had for many years but he was very encouraging and the MRI and EMG gave more reasons for optimism. God is caring for me.[:)]

Little_1, you are in my prayers. As is Cherished.

Blessings to you all!

Hear my cry, O God;
Give heed to my prayer,
From the end of the earth I call to Thee,
when my heart is faint;
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
For Thou hast been a refuge for me,
A tower of strength against the enemy
Let me dwell in Thy tent forever;
Let me take refuge in the shelter of Thy wings.


My prayer and His answer. Thank You, Lord!



sparkleingsnow -> RE: KINDRED SPIRITS - Encourage One Another (5/16/2008 8:13:44 AM)

Thank You Father, for what You have done and will do for Liveloved.

Busy day here...
Thinking of all of you.
(God is good!)



Liveloved -> RE: KINDRED SPIRITS - Encourage One Another (5/22/2008 9:13:27 PM)

Just thinking of how creation lives in praise, shouting for joy, and eagerly anticipating Christ's return. I am humbled. I can often live thanklessly and joylessly---focused on me and my problems, how I feel, etc.

So, I just want to join with all of you tonight in thanking the Lord for loving us and drawing near to us and drawing us near to Him inspite of our failure to live in joyous thankfulness.

THANK YOU, LORD! YOU ARE SO GOOD AND HAVE BEEN SO GOOD TO US!


Blessings dear family![:)]

That was so beautiful!!!
This verse comes to mind;

Psalm 150:1-6
Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.

Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.

Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.

Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.

Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.

Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.



Liveloved -> RE: KINDRED SPIRITS - Encourage One Another (5/22/2008 11:01:01 PM)

Ignited,
That is so cool. Actually, as the Lord has reminded me the past few days of His goodness and my need to be thankful, I found myself singing Psalm 150, Praise Ye The Lord! So your thinking of it as well is definitely a Godthing. Bless you![sm=hug.gif]LL



Ignited-Faith -> RE: KINDRED SPIRITS - Encourage One Another (5/24/2008 5:08:36 PM)

Liveloved,
I Praise the Lord with you!!!
I was looking out my kitchen window the other day,
thanking God for the beauty of all He has made. Everything looks so
green and plush! He even gives us 'new leaves' on the trees
every year! How great is God that He would even do that!

Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel,
Who alone works wonders,
And blessed be His glorious name forever;
And may the whole earth be filled with His glory.
Amen, and Amen. Ps 72:18-19

Looking forward to that day!
Until His church is built we press on.
Blessings to each one this day[sm=heart.gif], [sm=heart.gif]Liveloved[sm=heart.gif]

Liveloved -> RE: KINDRED SPIRITS - Encourage One Another (6/10/2008 6:19:54 PM)

I was in the gospel of Matthew today and wanted to remind us of how Jesus' life was surrounded by prayer. In Matthew 14 after He learns of John the Baptist's beheading, Jesus withdraws to be alone. And after feeding the five thousand, he sends everyone off and he goes off alone to pray again. Before, after, and all around prayer seems to be the life of Jesus.

Prayer is fellowship with God. And we can fellowship all the time. But, like Jesus, we need to withdraw for those alone times when we can drink deeply from the streams of living water and be refreshed.

So I'm just wanting to remind and encourage and pray for each one that we will make the time to be alone with God each and every day. He longs for us to draw close enough to hear His whispers of mercy. I pray we do. Surround yourself with prayer, fellowship with the Lord, today! Bless you![:)] LL

The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. - Psalm 18:2

I had posted this a few days ago as part of the study on trust I am doing with my church ... little did I know then just how much I was going to need it.

Normally, when life seems overwhelming, I have a desire to crawl into a cave and hide from the world. A couple nights ago it started again. My emotions ran from one extreme to the other these last couple days. I wanted to find a cave.

And then I remembered this verse. And I visualized myself hiding in the shadow of His wings. And so I ran to Him because He promised me He would be my refuge. I allowed Him to comfort me. And He did. And I poured out my heart to Him. And He encouraged me to be strong and do something that I was fighting with all my being not to do. And I listened to Him. And obeyed Him. And it was exactly the right thing to do at exactly the right time.

He lifted me up and He encouraged me to open my heart ... and as a result I have received blessings and peace beyond any expectation I thought possible.

God's timing never ceases to amaze me ... all the little things He puts in place so they are there and ready when we need them.

Amen! What a wonderful success story. The kind of success that encourages each one of us. Thank you for sharing it---and so beautifully. Yes, if we only believed, really believed, and acted accordingly in ALL circumstances. Learning, learning, learning. Bless you![:)] LL

This is fab and a real encouragement to other believers. This is living the Word.
