Waking up on Christmas morning to an incredible husband, spending time with family, the excitement of children opening presents, Kirsten's (my almost 4 yo niece) sweet voice saying, "I always wanted this" and it was a box of clothes ;P, Dinner with my grandmother and great aunt Adora, potato soup and key lime pie to end an awesome Christmas day! Happy Birthday Jesus. Because of you we have eternal life! Thank you that the grave has no hold on us and we can spend eternity with you.
My heart is saddened tonight. Death is at the door of a dear friend. My Paw-paw in law (Stewart) is in the final stages of life. Breath is gasped for every minute. He will not be here with us long on this Earth. For my sister-in-law Deborah it is tragic. Father I as of you tonight to cover them in your peace. Surround them in your consuming calm spirit. Ease any pain in his body. Take him on to be with you quickly and leave us with your Spirit to bring us through this time of mourning. Thank you for blessing us with knowing such a sweet soul.
EWO,
Jen

Abundance is...
An incredible Christmas Eve spent wrapping presents with my mom, having lunch with my 87 yo grandmother, experience of 2 Christmas Eve services with my husband, breakfast on Christmas Eve night, fun stockings filled with goodies from Mom (Rhonda), seeing great friends and bringing in Christmas with them. What and incredible day! God has poured His abundance over me!
Merry Christmas,

Excitement and Expectations....It's Christmas Eve
It is Christmas Eve and I just can't sleep! Jonathan is sleeping away beside me, the "girls" are snuggled between us and all I can think about is the word ABUNDANCE! Now why in the world would I be thinking of that when at 10:30 tonight I was almost in tears trying to find gifts for under $5? (That is our budget for gifts and I was too late for the $5 sale @ Old Navy ;P oh well I got over it chuckle) When I called Jonathan saying "this is impossible"! He simply grounded me by saying, "well then get out of there and come home." Like duh silly walk out the store. :)
Any way I am a little ADD @ the moment too... my wheels are spinning!
Ever feel a since of excitement and expectation? I have felt this all day long! I had several hours in my day to "think on these things" (1 Cor 4:13) and so I have been mulling over the word abundance.
I felt the Lord speak to me and drop this burden in me to pray and ask for others to pray with me through the wonderful line of communication called blogging. You know the whole "where 2 or more are gathered in my name there I am". Yeah well it can work in agreement over a blog too. Prayers are easier to keep track of if written down and it is hard to keep a prayer journal with me at all times. The reality is, my boss would stand over me and say, "what's that?"
In the realization this could never happen, I have started a prayer blog due to the eye opening experience that many of the people I have been praying over fall into 4 categories... Praying for a baby, husband, sick child & a job.
Tying it together I opened another blog... ready for it?
Visit the site in it's beginning stages and send it to those who you know fall into these walk's of life. The site is open to the public so I will approve everything and we can discuss what you may want to post. Post for yourself or someone else. Check back daily if the Lord leads you to pray for those on the list's.
I will be posting Blessing reports!
All grace and abundance flows from above!
What I need from you...
Bible verses to pour all over this site. It needs to be a well of living water to those on the list and others just visiting!
Intercessors... those who have been down these roads and know what it feels like and the thoughts those on the blog may have, so that you can speak specifically to the need and cover them in God's Word.
Check back often, remember it has an expectation assignment attached to it and it will be "growing" and "birthing" more than we can imagine!
God is so good!
In His Grip,
G
