Stick with it

I told someone that I would stick with her. The Question is, will I? what sort of a person am I? I happened to be watching a film this afternoon. It was BEAN, and at the end of the film Mr Bean is making a speach about Whistlers mother in which he says that whistler painted his mother and he would stick with her. When I heard this, it reminded me of what I had said. I wonder if God in providence is reminding me of this and telling me to do what I said.

In the coming week, let me see.

Speedy answers to prayer.

I am asking for a speedy answer to prayer and I am open to any possibilities. I wrote to F and I await her reply. Perhaps she is the answer and I am to hers, or the lord may yet surprise me, but any answer at all would be lovely

God hears and answers prayer

As I look around me, and as I take into account things I heard as i entered a meeting this morning, and also as I was praying for M and F this morning and praying that I make wise decisions. I think that I am on the brink of seeing an answer. I do not know what it will be, but I do feel like the children of isreal standing by the shore with the Egyptian army in pursuit going forward at Gods command and awaiting God to do something.

Trust and risk

I asked M if I am trusted. It seems to me that is the word that is prominent to me at the present. I am so accustomed to being trusted that it is difficult for me to have to go beyond being myself to earn that trust when I know that I would not do anyone a bad turn. I really do love the lord. I might have my failures, but I do love the lord and his people. I try to be faithfull.

I filled in at reception yesterday and perhaps this is just my mind, or perhaps this is his providence, but I noticed for the first time that the word TRUST is on the computer speakers.

I now feel that I have a choice in what could be a life changing matter and trust is going to be one of the factors. Risk will be another. I could go on as I am, but look back with regret. I once told someone who first raised the subject of risk with me that I am afraid of taking the risk, but I am far more afraid of not taking it.

I am therefore praying that the lord will give me wisdom in the choices I intend to make over the next couple of weeks to a month

providence

It may be that in providence some years ago, through a christian site I started writing to a woman. I mis read where she lives and I am glad I did, or a I would not have continued with the correspondence. I grew very very impressed with her character and her experience of life. Now I find that terrible things have happened to her and in my heart, I want to support her if she will let me, so I have sent some emails, but I have also prepared a text message and I am hoping that I will see Gods hand in that.

hands up

Well, I got a Kick up the backside yesterday, and I needed it. I got an email from someone in desperate need. I see the hand of God in how she got the particular email address that she used to contact me because I had not given it to her in the conventional sense ( though I knew she had it) and what she had to say cut me to the core and I need to be like Moses with his hands held up praying over the battle. I do see this as a spiritual battle and I need to be about the business of prayer for her and other matters as indeed I am, but I need to be all the more vervent in it.
