Sad/Joyful

Today my mom calls and tells me that my cousin is now on his death bed. His breathing is now shallow and it's just a matter of time before he stands before our Lord. The word that comes to my mind through all this is "SURRENDER." I'm not for sure if he knows Jesus, God did give me the opportunity to pray with him. His journey is now at an end, the road, now only blocks long he faces alone; no pastor, no spouse, no friends, no family, just him and the God of the universe. The songs he is about to hear, the face of pure love he is about to see, to be in the presence of the Lamb. "BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD" Jerry........
Jesus, come soon

Acts 4: 31 While they were praying, the place where they were meeting trembled and shook. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak God's Word with fearless confidence.

Prayers today for people in pain........for those closest to those in pain, to lean not on our own understanding, but into YOURS.

The following prayer request was entered on http://www.shoalcreek.org/. rec'd 9:45 am

Genesis 1

God spoke:
* light (divide day and nite)
* sky
* seperate (earth and seas)
* Earth green up
* lights (sun, moon, stars..)
* swarm the ocean
* Earth generate life
* humans 'man in our image'

Just gonna revel in this today....'in our image'......just gonna sink into it today. God spoke.....

God is so much more than i consider Him. The love and care and life available. oh my, how Amazing!
Oh Lord, break through and help us to have a fresh look.
