Share from your week; where have you seen God at work?:
Martha – Ken & I have spent several weeks online trying to get the vaccination. It seemed that whenever we thought we were there it would open it up and then it would close immediately. Thursday night we received an email from a sister of mine; she had a link to the Salem Fairgrounds and said a friend of hers said to try it. We tried it on Friday at noon, like her friend’s instructions said, and no luck. I closed my computer and I was kind of discouraged. I told Ken – We’re not going to get our vaccinations until we are 85… About 6 pm Friday night I was doing something and I had to open up my iPad to find a pattern for a knitting project I wanted to do. I opened up my iPad and up popped the Salem Fairgrounds reservations with tons of times for Wednesday. Ken & I both got 8:45 am appointments this Wednesday so we can both go at the same time which is wonderful and what we wanted to do. God was there. I could hear God saying – Martha, it just took some patience and I’m here with you, you’ve been praying every night for that vaccination and I’m going to make it for you now. So, every night I thank him, Yes!
Gerry – I have a new granddaughter named Eva. My son in Beaverton, Chris and his wife, Sarah, went to the hospital on a Friday and she was induced. It went on for a few days; they decided to break the water. About 2 ½ hrs later or around 2:30 am, they noticed the umbilical cord was in front of the head; they did an emergency C-section. Got the baby out and she was fine and Sarah was doing okay. So, I’m sitting with my grandson, Jack, for about 5 days. He’s about 2 yrs old. That’s been a real blessing!
Michelle – This past week was my birthday. My God Sighting was that I have so many wonderful friends who sent me birthday cards and sent me flowers and contributed to a Senior Dog Sanctuary. I love senior dogs and I’ve always rescued them. I’ve always believed that God puts all these wonderful people in your life and you have to work to keep them there. It was just a really nice week.
Jan – At the end of Pastor’s message last time he was talking about Peter and how Peter tried to correct the Lord. Sometimes I think we try to correct the Lord and say – No, Lord, it’s supposed to be this way. This is exactly what Peter did he said – No, Lord, it will never be that way. The Lord said – Get behind me Satan! That’s what I’ve been saying this whole week – Get behind me Satan! Because the evil one is bent on destroying the voice of the Lord inside of my husband. My husband knows the word like no one else I know, and Satan wants to silence him. But, we will believe what the Lord says. We won’t try to tell the Lord how to do it. He said we were healed; that we were filled with the Holy Ghost in power. That we were free and that we have victory! That’s in that song that goes – Whose report are you going to believe? We will believe the word of the Lord. His report says I am healed. His report says I am filled. His report says I am free. His report says victory. Whose report are you going to believe? I’m going to believe the report of the Lord, and I’m not going to argue with Him!
Marianne – I just heard this week that my niece is pregnant with her first child. She got married a couple years ago and she is due in September. This is my brother’s first grandchild, so they are over the moon! Fred – I still picture her as 6 yrs old, so I don’t know how she’s having kids!
Janelle – I have one. I don’t get out of the house very much and this week I did get out. Everywhere I went the workers and complete strangers kept giving me free things. For two days I got coffee, pastries and flowers all for free. Ky is reminding me that he got a free Chick Fil A biscuit and he was so happy. I came home and I told Brett – I love humanity! Because I realize how much I don’t have contact with people. So, then to encounter complete strangers being so generous. I kept saying - No, no, I don’t need it…. They kept insisting that they give me these things; I thought this is so sweet and really moving.
