@sinbach this was good!! 🤣🤣
@Cherishingsparrows2020 @zephan "There are also Scriptures about preparing ahead for future needs, but as you said, how can we know what those needs will be unless He reveals them?" - This is exactly how I and my husband has felt about this issue. Yes, I'm convinced we have tough times ahead, but we can't run around in panic preparing ourselves, that only leads us astray. What we can and should do is to continue walking with the Lord EVERY day, and He will instruct and show us when it's time to act - just the way He's always done and is doing in everything concerning our lives! Although we have made small preparations (extra food that can be stored, a small gas stove), we're fully aware we're totally dependent on our Lord to take us through whatever is coming. So I just want to press closer to Him!
Song of Songs 8:5: "Who is that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved?"
The bride comes out of the wilderness LEANING on her bridegroom - that's the way out for us too!

The “Triumphal Entry” of Jesus is such a paradox. It sounds victorious and worthy of celebration but it is really pretty sober. We know that Good Friday and the cross are right around the corner. This Sunday feels like trying to celebrate your birthday when you know you will die on the next weekend. This day is the deep breath before the plunge.
This day represents our current cultural situation very well. We know we are in a great awakening. We know that better days are ahead. But we don’t know what we will have to suffer between here and there.
“for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”Hebrews 12:2
There is joy set before us. Victory is guaranteed to us because Jesus has sat down at the right hand of the Father (this is “the Gospel”: Jesus is King). With assurance of this, we move forward and embrace the cross and we despise it’s shame.
@MaryMamuzich what a beautiful view! 😍

Thank you so much. What you wrote fully describes my situation and that of my wife. We receive by faith all that God has prepared for us and what God has made you see. Thanks for the encouragement and for the prayers. God is faithful. God bless you. 🙏

Almighty God, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, come to my help and deliver me from this difficulty that besets me. I believe, Lord, that all trials of life are under Your care and that all things work for the good of those who love You. Take away from me fear, anxiety and distress. Help me to face and endure my difficulty with faith, courage and wisdom. Grant that this trial may bring me closer to You, for You are my rock and refuge, my comfort and hope, my delight and joy. I trust in Your love and compassion. Blessed is Your name. In Jesus' name. Amen.

@sinbach We have three boys and two girls (oldest and youngest). They have not watched Rocky when growing up, but they have had far more bruises, sprained legs and bloody teeths than the girls! I love them all!
@sinbach I guessed that! 😂
@sinbach Like father like sons..? That sounds like Rocky. 😂
@sinbach this definitely is a thing we adults can learn from children!
@sinbach well, it sounds like you've been the best dad for your boys 💝
@sinbach What cute boys - I can so understand you! 💖
Our oldest daughter is only 14 years, but I've already realized how fast time is flying!! 😯

Last year all my wonderful DD brothers and sisters were praying for my daughter and granddaughter to survive an extremely different delivery. Today Kynlee turned one and she is beautiful and healthy and so is my daughter.
I thank God for DD! A place that brings us together from around the world to love and hold each other up in prayer. Praise God for saving the life of this tiny child that has my heart wrapped around her tiny finger!
Dear sisters and brothers who are praying for Ukraine! I have received two long letters (last one yesterday) from an Ukrainian sister (through my dear friend and sister in Christ, Laura) about the current situation and their prayer requests for the country. The person who wrote the letters was happy to hear that I'm able to share them out to Christians from different countries here on dingdash. However, the letters are too long to share them here directly, but if you would like to receive them to your e-mail (or whatsapp, signal) I'm happy to send them to you! Please send me a message with your details and I will mail you.
I've just under the last years started to understand why we should preach the gospel about becoming a FOLLOWER of Christ and not only to "believe in Jesus and be saved to heaven". This video (and others on the same subject) has helped me and it gives some good advice on how to win people for Christ (or better said, how God uses you to find them!)
@KarlGessler Amen! God help us! 🙏
@sinbach Yes it's a great miracle! 🙌 And the resistans must be a surprise to Putin himself who are now pulling the soldiers back from Kiev. There's just the risk that if he starts to lose his face, he might strike some heavier bombs in Ukraine. So praying for a peaceful ending of this all 🙏

anybody remember the "security" expert with 😂 more than a life time of experience in military intelligence saying Ukraine was done, put a fork in it?"
Well it's been more than a month and the Ukrainians are STILL holding the line. They have humiliated the Russian military AND now even started to strike targets in Russia.
Amazing.
