Living Life from God's Perspective.

Grace and peace to you from our Father and from our Lord Jesus Christ. We are so very Blessed to be back in Friday Harbor. We are so very Blessed and joyfully overwhelmed with such a heart felt, sweet welcome back from the Body of our Brothers and Sisters in Christ. Ron and I are so Blessed by each one of you and Only the Lord knows how joyfully overflowed our hearts are to have such a sweet privilege to be a part of all of your lives. Each one of you have touched our lives in such a significant way. We Cherish all of your faithful Prayers over us,we ask the Lord to abundantly Bless each and every one of you and your families, THANK YOU!!!!!!! Bless you Bless you......

we I believe we are beginning to see some normality. We have come from a 400 sq ft space to now a 1000 or more sq ft space........I love running up and down our stairs into the kitchen,living room etc, thank you Lord, space......... I love space............space ,space, alot of space,

"I was thankful for the little space",oh yes I was........I have an attitude of gratitude!

but I can Breath, awwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Woman you know what I mean! not that you men do not know what space means to you, but Gals........................your arms can reach out and you can dance!!!!!!!!, Twirl........Jump, spring jump!!!! Back flip, Splits!!!!! Well..... maybe not back flip......as a matter of fact no even the splits.....see what happens when I get space............"You dance over me, While I am unaware, You sing all around, But I never hear the sound, Lord I'm amazed by You". You get the Idea!!!! Ron and I are so Blessed to be Home! Ron has been doing great, he is like a kid let loose in Disneyland ................. He makes us a fire everyday,hot tea,wanders the property if he can stand the cold, the Lord is so sweet in covering Ron,he will have a small siezure it seems 1 every 3 days ,we thank the Lord for everyday,seizure or not.We loved our time with our Sons and Daughter in Love and grandchildren,and miss them already.......We are just plain thankful for such a beautiful place in which we now live, we can say only the Lord Jesus could have made this all possible. Our plans could not have been....... "better than His".

Proverbs 16:9 "The mind of man plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps".

Its not to say that we can not make plans in our life, BUT!!! we realize we want the Lord to Bless our plans..... especially if He is a part of them "all". His Wisdom that we ask for is pure from heaven, it is living and thinking according to Gods Truth, His ways, & His design.

Sometimes were in a hurry!! and will walk outside of Him being a part of our Plan, this is not a good place to be.......{we don't conform God to our ways} .............

{we conform to God's ways}.............Everyday as we Learn that God's way is so much better, God be the center of all our plans, decisions, activities, we want to approach ALLL... of life from God's point of view, A-men..... Lord help us to live each day in this,

Proverbs 14:12 There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.

Proverbs 12:15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, But a wise man is he who listens to counsel.

I know I can be a fool, and I know I can think I can be wise in my own eyes, I Love that the Lord will take the foolish things of this world such as myself and use us, "not that He needs us" because --------He does not.

But that He will use us to Glorify Him.

It is by God's sovereign Love,and choice that his Grace has been poured out upon us through the Blood of Jesus Christ, having a Faith ,believing on the Name above all Names,coming into a relationship with Jesus because of His Love for us on the Cross, His Resurrection conquered the Power over death, broke the chains that set us free from Satan's grip on our lives,

John 14:26 But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.

Colosians 3:12 Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. I ask the Lord for these fruits daily, only the Fathers Love poured out upon me, am I able to live in the glimpse of these. Have you ever set out to not be judgemental? Hummmmmmmmm! Within 5 minutes what comes out of mouth! Patience.................Gentleness...............Humility...........these I been tested with much in the past 2 months and have failed miserably.................

Epehsians 4:26 A"In your anger do not sin": Another words do not give opportunity for the Devil to move in.......Epehsians 4:27 and do not give the devil a foothold. He's a coward and he sneaks in when we are weak, He's also a big fat liar, and a deceiver, I/we can unnecessarily become upset because we misunderstand another persons words or motives or just be in a bad mood, this can get us into trouble and cause destruction in our lives and harm those around us. Anger breaks our fellowship with God and robs us of peace. Judgement can do the same thing, just thinking it is as if you have committed the act............Matt 15:19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts, Anger grieves the Lord, hostility does not fit who we are as children of God It hinders his work. I confess I have had to deal with some anger issues these past 2 months ,and I truly do not like the person I can become,I have pleaded with the Lord to release me from this, to put a seal on my lips and guard my mouth.

Psalms 141: 3 Set a guard over my mouth, O LORD; keep watch over the door of my lips.

Proverbs 21:23 He who guards his mouth and his tongue, Guards his soul from troubles.

Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit. I think you get what I am saying, I don't need to have the last word I do not need to criticise, Judge, comment, defend, reason, justify, ...............really it is only the Holy Spirit that can enable me/us to see through the shock, trial, circumstance, situation, to gain a clear perspective,God's perspective, of the difficulty we are going through. We deal with real life issues everyday,this we can not ignore. As a child of God He gives me/us application from the only true reliable foundation of His all knowing recorded thoughts, from His Infallible Word. God because we live in this flesh, help us to see things through your eyes, open the eyes of our heart. When we become weak, may we flee quickly from the flesh and move in the Spirit and Person of Jesus Christ, may we begin to see our circumstances, situations, more from a kingdom mentality, from your Perspective Lord, your perspective sets our eyes on you, we walk obediently to your Holy Word. Crush the walls of Pride.

I thank you Father that you are my Strength,Jesus My Defender, My Refuge, My Strong Tower. Lord continue to examine my heart O God, let the secrets of my heart be uncovered, and let my wandering thoughts be tested. I am Enjoying freely what the Lord has allowed us to be Blessed in today. There is a body of water outside this window that is cold, freezing,tossing and turning to and fro, I am thankful to view it sittin right here!

Ron standing on our front porch in Friday Harbor,the winds are blowing and it is sooooooooooooo cold,but this is proof we are here! hallelujah,thank you Jesus.

The Sun feels so good this day,Ron and I went out to a place we love,called English Camp,here on the Island,and it was cold to the bone! but the sun was shinning and we were taking in all that would be allwed to touch our faces,having a wonderful day just enjoying what the Father gave us this day.

With God ALL things are possible!
