FEARLESS FRIDAY'S

When morning dawns and evening fades You call forth songs of joy. Psalm 65:8

Taken from Streams in the Desert:

In the holy hush of the early dawn I hear a Voice -

"I am with you all the day,

Rejoice! Rejoice!"

Fell asleep at 9:30 last night. 2:00 a.m. I'm up. Roll over, plump the pillows One for my head, and one for between my legs to protect and ease my back pain. Pray. "Lord, let me sleep a little more?"

Roll over. Get up and go to the bathroom.

Back to bed. Plump the pillows. Close eyes.

Thoughts whirling in my mind. For a devotional. One that God has been calling me to write about for quite a few weeks. "Ok, Lord, what name should I call it?" "How is Faithful Friday's?"

"hmmm,well You will give me the right wording. Ok, I'm going back to sleep".

Eyes still closed.

Eyes opened.

Ok, get on my knees to pray. Randy stirs and looks at me. This time I haven't scared him,,LOL. Last week he woke up in the middle of the night when I was praying on my knees by the side of the bed and said, 'WHAT THE HECK" (trying to figure out what that dark form is by the bed)lol.."OH" "What are you doing?" I'm praying so I don't answer him..lol. He rolls over and goes back to sleep.

Back to bed. Close my eyes.

"Ok Lord, I'm up".

2:30 a.m. I'm at my Prayer Corner, reading His Word, and reading my devotionals.
"OK, Lord, I'm going back to bed now".

3:00 a.m. back to bed. Close my eyes.

3:15: "Ok, Lord, I'm up".

Downstairs, push coffee maker to on. Back to Prayer Corner. Pray from Prayer Book (Prayers That Avail Much). 'FEARLESS FRIDAYS'..."Ok, Lord, that sounds really good".

Finish praying and go to Computer/Prayer Room and on my knees by wicker chair. Grasp onto blanket, imagining it is the hem of Jesus's robe. Start to pray.

Get on the computer. Read from His Living Sacrifice . Bawl, and bawl. Leave a comment. Have to stop while writing so I can wipe my tears and blow my nose. Continue to write, than stop to cover my face with my eyes and bawl.

Go to Bring The Rain. Bawl again, and again. Leave a comment and prayer.

Than upstairs to get dressed, straighten hair. I'm NOT putting make up on right now. I look like Rudolph the Reindeer's sister. I will wait to see if there is any more tears to be shed before I put on my make up.

So, now to start my devotional..LOL.

FEARLESS FRIDAYS....God has put upon my heart for quite a few weeks to start a weekly 'whatever you call it'. Sigh. I'm so illiterate to blogland terminology...

My spirit has been pressing my heart to start a weekly Prayer Request thread. Anyone that knows me personally and for those that have been following along in this blog, knows I pray,,pray and pray and pray. I pray pretty much about everything.

I feel the Lord asking me to start this FEARLESS FRIDAY'S to give each of you the opportunity to join me in prayer. To leave your prayer requests with me, either through an email and or through the comments page. I have opened up "anonymous" in the comment box for those that want to join in but are not ready yet to reveal themselves at this time.

Whoever joins in, I will be writing out your prayer requests in my Prayer Journal. I will be praying over the prayers, each and every day. When there is an answer to prayer, I would ask that you let me know so that I can than go back to the Prayer Journal and write in Red pen,,PBG (praise be to God, the date and the answer to the request).

I would love to have a link or 'whatever you call it', lol, that could be displayed each Friday to show who is participating. Right now I don't know how to do that,,so it's in God's hands. I also would love to have a little 'whatever you call it', those little banner thingies(?) that can be displayed each Fearless Friday. I don't know how to do that either...

GUESS WHAT?????

I don't care! God says " now, do this now. Don't wait till you figure out 'whatever you call it' Angela"

I will also be leaving my Prayer Requests for everyone to read. I ask that you would join me in prayer.

Now that MSN Groups are closing, the Prayer Warriors that have been with me for 8 years, praying over my family and I, the members at one time 180 in total, now 144, will not be able to see my prayers requests on the Prayer Request Board because on February 21,2009 The Blessings of Free Spirit Haven's journey will be completed.

I have found SO MUCH comfort in my days KNOWING someone was praying for me. God knows I NEED this. I need to ask for prayer. I need someone to stand in the gap for me. To help me carry my cross. To allow me to cry out for help.

I'm glad I didn't put make up on,,I'm crying..lol.

Hang on, kleenex time and the box is empty here, have to go into the kitchen.

"I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you lose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask, it will be done for you by My Father in heaven. For where two or three come together in My Name, there I am with them". Matthew 18:18-20

Prayer Requests:

*Randy is phoning Elmwood Kitchens this morning to see about the position with the Company.
Could you please pray for us. Pray for God's will to be done. His will and not our's. Pray for His blessings and favor. ..hang on...ok,,sorry I was bawling and listening "holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty"...I just DESIRE for God to be honored, praised and glorified in our lives. So I cry out,",WHATEVER LORD, WHATEVER YOU SEE FIT TO DO"

*for my Aunt Tina who was told a few weeks back that the Cancer is back and has gone to her stomache and liver. Please pray for her salvation, for comfort, for strength upon her and her family. Pray that God will lead me to and DO IT, whatever He has for me to do (write a letter, visit, phone, whatever He tells me to do).

*could you also pray for the members of The Blessings of Free Spirit Haven. So many are hurting, not knowing where to go now and wanting me to start another group, please pray that God will lead them to a safe haven, where they will once again be fed the Word of God, find encouragement and prayers.

ok,,I will leave it to only three..Be prepared though beloved...lol.

Jesus, thank You for this morning dawns and evening fades You call forth songs of joy.

"In the holy hush of the early dawn I hear a Voice - Jesus, thank You for calling me this early morning. Thank You for allowing me to hear Your voice. Thank You for not allowing me to roll over and go back to sleep but to finally sit down in obedience and write FEARLESS FRIDAY'S out as You have been putting upon my heart for awhile now.

"I am with you all the day,

Rejoice! Rejoice!" Thank You for being with me ALL DAY Jesus. I am rejoicing,,I am rejoicing..

amen amen amen
