PRAYING THROUGH THE HYMNS

MORNING QUIET TIME WORSHIP

I HAVE BEEN SO BLESSED OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS AS I HAVE  BEEN DOING MY QUIET TIME BY PAINTING ON OLD HYMNS.  THE ONLY PROBLEM, ONCE YOU HAVE PAINTED, YOU CAN'T DO ANOTHER ORIGINAL BECAUSE YOU NEED MORE HYMN BOOKS.  I HAVE HAD FUN LOOKING IN GOODWILL FOR THEM. ONE FRIEND FROM HIGH SCHOOL GAVE ME TWO OF HER PERSONAL OLD BOOKS.  THANK YOU BETTY!!!!

A "GOD STORY" FROM YESTERDAY CONCERNING THE HYMNAL PAINTINGS. 
I DECIDED TO TAKE THEM TO THE UPS STORE TO HAVE COPIES OF THEM MADE BEFORE I GAVE THEM AWAY.  I ALSO HAVE THEM REDUCED TO MAKE CARDS FROM THEM.  WHEN I WENT TO PICK UP THE COPIES, THE LADY WHO HAD DONE THE PRINTING ASKED IF I WERE THE ARTIST.  SHE PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THEY HAD BLESSED HER BECAUSE SHE IS A CANCER SURVIVOR (AS IS MY HUSBAND.)
THE MOST "GOD MOMENT" WAS THIS.....SHE HAS THE SAME CANCER MY DEAR FRIEND, JUDY SNELL ABOUT TO START CHEMO AND RADIATION WAR WITH!   SHE HAS ALL THE SAME DOCTORS JUDY HAS AND SHE WAS COMPLETELY HEALED FROM STAGE 4 CANCER SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND IS PERFECTLY HEALTHY.  PRAISE THE LORD.

SO NOW, THIS IS WHAT I KNOW FOR SURE.  GOD PUT ON MY HEART MONTHS AGO TO START PAINTING ON THOSE HYMN PAGES.  HE SENT ME TO THE UPS STORE TO GET COPIES SO I COULD MAKE CARDS TO ENCOURAGE LOTS OF FRIENDS.  BUT MAINLY, HE WANTED MY PRECIOUS FRIEND TO BE ENCOURAGED BY A WOMAN WHO WAS HEALED AND IS PRAISING THE LORD EVERYDAY FOR HIS GREATNESS AND SO SHE COULD UNDERSTAND EXACTLY HOW MY FRIEND FEELS AND CAN MEET HER AND HELP HER WALK THROUGH THIS STRUGGLE.

GOD IS SO GOOD AND HIS WAYS ARE NOT MY WAYS.  HE GIVES US LITTLE NUDGES AND IT IS OUR BLESSING WHEN WE WALK IN FAITH AND FOLLOW HIS LEADING. 

I WOULD LOVE TO TEACH OTHERS HOW TO DO THESE LITTLE DRAWINGS.
HOW THIS WILL COME ABOUT, I DO NOT KNOW.
SURE DO NEED SOME MORE HYMNALS, BUT HE WILL PROVIDE.

JUDY SNEEL, JUDY KENOBBIE AND ME
BOTH OF MY JUDY'S FIGHTING CANCER

NOW, ON A HAPPIER NOTE, MY PRECIOUS KATE TURNED 6 YESTERDAY.
SHE IS ONE OF THE GREATEST BLESSINGS WE HAVE EVER RECEIVED.
