@tymektt Our part of Louisiana was hit the hardest by Ida(190mph gusts recorded). It was probably the strongest hurricane to ever hit Louisiana, but thankfully, no flooding. My house is gutted since 4 windows busted through (shutters and all) and hurricane Ida made herself at home in my house, but we were not nearly as bad as most homes in this area. The people here have come together as usual, and we're moving forward. I've seen GOD's beauty every day since the storm. He's truly near to the broken-hearted.

Got our ration of diesel, so Jo can do all 4 days at work this week

Next week is far away (& scripture tells us take things 1 day at a time) - so we'll deal with it 1 day at a time

People are aggressive, impatient, irritable on edge. shop staff are nervous and quickly defensive - me not trying to put in more than the ration they set, invoked a shocked smile and a visible relaxing of her shoulders (perhaps also because the guy in front of me at the till had just jumped the queue, in front of me in the shop, just because he could, because he was on a motorbike, before spilling petrol everywhere because his guilt was obvious for all to see - so not worth it...petrol on a hot motoribke?!?)

A chap with Jerry cans apologised profusely, but pointed out he was a gardener and that was for his livelihood. At least he didn't try and push in front of me, but I did challenge him as he was edging in between me & the motorbike and tensions were plenty high enough already.

Madness and fear!!

Can you pray for my family please?
Our elderly cat Millie is missing from home since last night, she urgently needs her insulin! My family is deeply distressed.
I believe our Father God cares for small things too, and that He cares for Millie.
Thank you for your support.

Our dear American friend Eric (to the right) visited our home. We had fellowship with another family. Eric moved to northern Sweden around 30 years ago to become a missionary to Swedes, indigenous Samis (in northern Swe, Finland, Norway), Swedish-speaking Finns (like us), Russians and others… He travels regularly to Armenia. He is a kitchen table mentor and teacher, even if he is okay with the pulpit as well. He was one of the first I met around 15 years ago, who said that he prefers gathering in homes instead of church buildings, that he was leading through friendship and mentoring. He is setting an example (not only talking from distance), and he brings people with him when he travels. It’s OK to call him on the phone when there’s a need, and ok to ask any question. Today he told me: “Remember to be a human being, not a human doer!” He knows my upbringing and background, so I need that reminder every now and then. It makes me sad that there are so few spiritual mothers and fathers.

"If the Holy Spirit was withdrawn from the church today, 95 percent of what we do [like music, comedy, and lifeless sermons] would go on and no one would know the difference. If the Holy Spirit had been withdrawn from the New Testament church, 95 percent of what they did would stop, and everybody would know the difference." A. W. Tozer

Going by the constitution of several nations, Joseph was doubly disqualified to be a prime minister. One, he wasn't a citizen of Egypt. Two, he was a convicted criminal. But God's mercy and grace located Joseph and covered his limitations. Look away from your physical limitations. With God, all things are possible.

@Jo_PrayerN_actionCenter @MaryMamuzich @sinbach well a miracle I experienced was as my a dog was attemptig to bite me I reminded him of Psalm 8 where it said I had dominion over him, he could not bite me. I felt his breath right up to my arm,he tried a few times but never could bite. I cautiously went on my way praising God and the dog went his way..

Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!

You have set your glory
in the heavens.
2 Through the praise of children and infants
you have established a stronghold against your enemies,
to silence the foe and the avenger.
3 When I consider your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place,
4 what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
human beings that you care for them?[c]

5 You have made them[d] a little lower than the angels[e]
and crowned them[f] with glory and honor.
6 You made them rulers over the works of your hands;
you put everything under their[g] feet:
7 all flocks and herds,
and the animals of the wild,
8 the birds in the sky,
and the fish in the sea,
all that swim the paths of the seas.

9 Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!

@Kruselady Miracle No 1.

I realized that in terms of physical achievements, at a time, Joseph was the least among his brothers. Even Benjamin was far ahead of him. Benjamin already had 10 sons when they arrived Egypt, while Joseph just got married few years back with two sons. Joseph's brothers were all pursuing their petty dreams, while God was laying a solid foundation for a "skyscraper project" in Joseph's life. Then suddenly, ONE DAY... Hallelujah! Joseph became the prime minister of the ruling empire. Please allow God to lay a solid foundation in your life and wait for your ONE DAY. Don't envy others who quickly complete their "bungalow projects". God is building a "skyscraper project" in your life.

We don't about the average speed of Kangaroo! However our team covered 100 miles in 9 hours!
Roads were non existent in many stretches along this Himalayan terrain!

DD friends who prayed for us kept the Angels busy all day.
Thank you for your prayers.

SOS! A believer is on the run. He is falsly accused of murder.
The authorities are after the institution he is leading. Hefty bribe demand for out of court settlement.
#Corruption #Persecution

Why did Joseph's brothers sell a man who'll someday become the most valuable man on earth for only 20 pieces of silver? They didn't know his actual value. Joseph who was worth billions of dollars was wrapped by God with a 20 piece of silver worth of wrap. God concealed Joseph's value so he could be sold fast and so he could arrive fast at his place of destiny. But immediately he arrived at Egypt, God unwrapped him and his value began to rise till he became the world's "MVP". Don't worry if men despise your worth. God is arranging your quick transportation to your destiny.

A senior friend of ours, in his late eighties, lived in a foreign country half his life.

Led 100's of children to Christ, equipped the local leadership.
Married to his ministry never thought about retirement.

Remember him in your prayers.

As for me:
I'll make room for ONE - You only Jesus. You're all that matters to me. Not I, but Christ.
