YOUR FORECAST

…Excerpt from Chapter 12 of Pausing With God…
One fine morning, the weather man said that a storm was coming in the afternoon.   At the end of my work day, I glanced at the sky. It looked like I might have a good chance to cut the lawn. The sky was overcast with a slight breeze, providing the perfect grass cutting conditions. 

I began on one side of the house, and dark clouds were blowing my way quickly. I cut up and down and back and forth, each time peering up at the clouds and watching and waiting for the rain. Sometimes I tried to peek out of the corner of my eye as if God couldn’t see me. I felt the Lord say, “Do not trust what you see, but have faith.”  No sooner had I blown the last patch of loose grass from sidewalk did raindrops begin to fall upon my head. All I could do was look up and this time, it was with a thankful, not fretful, heart.




                

Though our current forecast may not be favorable, we do not have to fret when we hear it is going to rain; even a fair amount of rain is good.  What we can do is have faith, and expect the SON to break through!

MAKING A DIFFERENCE A couple of months ago, I went to a church event to do a book signing.    The person in charge directed to a spot where I was to set up.  Ah, I thought I have the best seat in the house, right next to the biggest grill I have ever seen.  I introduced myself to the chef.  In between the turning of his ribs, chicken, and Italian sausage; we found out that we had something in common.  He loves to cook and feed people and me, I just love people. Later when it was time for me to leave, he echoed to let him know if he could ever help.  Jokily I said, “How about at a BACK 2 SCHOOL rally?”  Without hesitation, we exchanged info and I shuffled off.  Months later, I get a call and the voice on the other end said, “Okay tell me where, what to bring and the time.   On August 20, 2011, we hosted a rally in the Victory Pointe housing community on the Westside of Jacksonville, Florida.   In addition to enjoying non-stop food and fun, w e were able to share a message of hope

Tammy's Journey 'Through'

Image
Some years ago, Tammy had a good friend pass away from her battle with breast cancer; this unfortunate event caused her to begin to think about the importance of mammogram screenings. In September 2009, while lying in her bed; Tammy had an itch on her left breast and while examining herself she felt a lump.   Soon after, Tammy made her way to the doctors.  An hour  and  a half after her visit, her cell phone rang, the nurse informed her that the doctor saw something suspicious and ordered a MRI (Magnetic resonance imaging) (a) on her right breast.  Tammy gave a perplexed reply, “You mean my left breast that is where I felt the lump.”  The nurse asked Tammy to hold on for a second, when she returned to the phone she said, “No, the right breast.”  As Tammy headed for her MRI appointment, she encountered additional tension, you see she is claustrophobic.  During the procedure, Tammy chose to repeat over and over again, Isaiah 41:10, Fear not for I am with thee.   Once the assessment w
