blessing and glory and honor and power forever

Oh God is good. and I am so happy. God is good when I'm unhappy. He satisfies me when life is so painful. but I'm rejoicing today. I'm thankful for what God can do with willing hands. and I pray He enlarge our tents and stretch out our stakes. But let His Kingdom come.

It was so good today to go to Mister's work. it was so good! It was good to get the proceeds from the party. I was so thankful. I know our Kenyan friends are so thankful. Oh to help others who cannot help you back. it is so rewarding. Such the God-life. All that He does for us and what can we do for Him? NOTHING! He owns the cattle on a thousand hills and the heart of the King. He has no need of the blood of goats or cows or anything we could imagine doing for Him. He is sufficient in all things. He created everything! How magnificent.

So much is happening and I forget to blog anything. Thanks to my friend who says, "Hey! why isn't your trinity link on your blog?" well, I don't know. accident. dumb? but okay, i'll fix that. i need to make it a link on here and I'll do that soon.

for now. I'm just awed by God. How He works powerfully in one arena and then in some other arena, it might feel like, "Hello, God? Are you noticing this thingy over here?" and so we are so fickle. As if He should just hop to it when we have a perceived problem.

I'm just so thankful right now. So thankful.

Glory to God!

I am so blessed by the Lord!

We had a party for Bishop Titus and his wife, Rose on Friday. I sent home food with my friends who have large families. After they left, I discovered more food in the oven warming. What to do with all that food?
Today, I was in prayer and I asked the Lord to help me give this food to people who needed it. I was considering making large plastic baggies of food to hand out to people on the street corners. Suddenly, I thought of James Hinojosa who frequently goes down to 6th St. bridge to feed the homeless on Sundays. Immediately, I remembered that he is now going to early services--so he would be at church. But the idea came in such a way.......and the argument came so quickly........I knew I should TRY.
So I jumped up and called James on his cell phone. HE WAS ON HIS WAY TO WORK UNDER THE BRIDGE!! "Are you far? Where are you?" He was CLOSE. He had only gotten to Wells Branch, the street near our homes. "Can you come back and take food to the people?" OF COURSE!
and PRAISE THE LORD! HIS KINGDOM COME AND HIS WILL BE DONE!

Something so simple, yet so profound. I am just rocked to get such a blessing from immediate obedience. To know God spoke to me and that He had a plan. I am so thankful to participate!
Wow!

and that food did not go to waste.

Everyone is happy.

wow!
