HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I've been thinking a lot about 2010.
What would I like to see changed?
And if I want to see some things/people change (starting with me), what part do I play in seeing change come?

So far, these are the answers I have come up with:

"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction and faithful in prayer."
This is a scripture found in Romans 12:12.

I'm joyfully expecting/hoping for a lot this year. Regardless of the trials, tests and afflictions that may come it is clear to me that God is expecting me to be patient and faithful in prayer through it all. Sometimes I don't feel patient and I also don't always feel like praying but I realize after almost 20 years of being in the Lord's service that not much gets accomplished and little changes without prayer. I don't understand it all, I just know that it's a necessary part I must play in order to see God move in ways man can't.

That leads me to the next thing I've decided; I am going to pray impossible prayers. These are the prayers that unless God answers 'it's just not gonna happen folks!'

From where I stand there are lives that are in the balance...we're talking life or death sentences here.
Let's just take Ron for instance. The doctors have already told him that he's got a tumor in his brain and that tumor is inoperable. You know what that means? Ron's going to die! It's going to take his life unless God decides to heal him by a miracle.
See? That's just what I'm talking about; what is impossible for man is possible with God. That's what Jesus says in Matt. 19:26, I've just decided to believe Him is all.

Today Ron and Sandie are driving down to Santa Barbara from Friday Harbor, WA. As most of you know, the roads are icy and so they need prayers for a safe journey please.
On the 6th of this month Ron will have an MRI that will basically tell us whether this tumor has grown, shrunk or remained the same size.
He's been having seizures regularly that last a few minutes at at time but outside of those seizures you sure wouldn't know he's dying. He looks healthy and strong and is still able to do just about anything that needs to be done around the house and on the property they live on. Thank You Lord.

Ron and Sandie have also decided that regardless of what the MRI shows, they are not going to undergo chemo or radiation or biopsy's or anything else at this time. God has given them peace in this decision and we pray God continues to shower them with this peace as He unfolds their future before them.

I'm going to pray for miracles in 2010.

So I ask you....what seems impossible to you? I invite you to believe with me that "All things are possible with God!"

Have a safe journey Ron and Sandie. We're praying for your miracle. We love you!
