travels and praise

Jer 29:11 NKJV - For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Jer 29:12 NKJV - Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.
Jer 29:13 NKJV - And you will seek Me and find [Me], when you search for Me with all your heart.

The Lord has laid upon my heart to dig deeper into His word. To understand what the meaning of the words mean, not just read over them, but CONSIDER the meaning of EACH word. How did that person feel as God spoke to him or told him 'to go', what did that person have to do to be obidient?
The Lord God is so very merciful towards me.  These past 5 weeks I have traveled many miles. Driving by myself, pulling a trailer with my motorcycle about 3000- miles.  The Lord spared me, and gave me clear weather, while all around me storms and flooding, but none hindered me.
I have flown hundreds of miles visiting family and friends. Again, all went very smoothly. The Lord gave me peace and hopefully I planted seeds in His name. Only He knows the outcome of that.

Naturally my funds grow lower and lower; Although I have had peace that my travels were/are according to His will and direction for me.  Yesterday I prayed; "Lord, I am concerned about my money, its getting low. Its your money, I am trusting you to provide what I need to pay my bills".  This morning I applied for a job. Was called in for an interview after lunch, hired 2 hours later. PRAISE GOD.  It is not a lot of money, but it is enough.
There is a song by Jennifer Knapp where she sings; "oh Holy Spirit won't you say a prayer for me"~ this rang deep within me, and I pleaded this statement to the Holy Spirit. He is faithful and for two nights my soul prayed as I slept.. WOW... really cool thing to experience.
The Lord also has been speaking to me about praying and then doing some more praying. That if I want a closer relationship to Him, I need to spend time with HIM.  praying.  AND reading His Word.  I need to spend TIME with Him.  Not give Him the left-over time I have when I'm tired or distracted. NO, He needs and should receive RESPECT from me in giving HIM my ALL just as He gave me His ALL.

1Th 5:17 NKJV - pray without ceasing

1Ch 17:25 NKJV - "For You, O my God, have revealed to Your servant that You will build him a house. Therefore Your servant has found it [in his heart] to pray before You.

Neh 1:11 NKJV - "O Lord, I pray, please let Your ear be attentive to the prayer of Your servant, and to the prayer of Your servants who desire to fear Your name; and let Your servant prosper this day, I pray, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man." For I was the king's cupbearer.

Job 33:26 NKJV - He shall pray to God, and He will delight in him, He shall see His face with joy, For He restores to man His righteousness.



God the Father has blessed me beyond anything I could have imagined. I have a safe home to stay in, a job that is challenging ONLY 3 MINUTES away!! ha, I've driven LESS than 35 miles in a week... I use to drive that ONE WAY to work each day!!! How AWESOME to work so close.  

I am very excited about Guatemala!! just two months away!! YEAH!! 
and I get to return to NC and see my family in Christ. I have missed their fellowship. Although some have called and it is ALWAYS so good to visit on the phone. What a blessing.

Please continue to pray for me, and praising God for His faithfulness towards us, His children.

in Him;
Kim
