Well. if there is a break in this blog it is because I really don't know what I am doing yet...so please stay with me.....LOL...all of a sudden I realized I had hit the publish post button but I really wasn't finished......so here is the rest of the quote.....I wish I could write like this myself!!!

The first time He tends to come suddenly. After that, you may encounter Him unexpectedly as you earnestly chase Him and seek His face. Prepare a place of hunger, desire, worship and praise for Him and invite Him to turn aside and dwell with you.."What do You want Lord? How can we bless and host You tonight?
"Father , I'm determined to walk carefully while carrying the hot deposit You have poured into my life. Your presence is too precious to be wasted or lost through careless handling. Holy Spirit, help me hear Your still small voice and sense Your gentle tap on my shoulder. Give me ears to hear and eyes to see what You have for me. Then teach me how to carry heaven's "hot coffee", the holy deposit of God's manifest presence, from glory to glory and into the wounded world of the lost in Jesus' name.
God is good...ALL the time!

Today I am THANKFUL for recovery of my grandson Joshua after a nasty bump at school and a scary night with cat scan and all at emerg. I am also thankful today for days to celebrate and this weekend our kids celebrate their anniversary. God bless you Rob and Michelle...Love you lots and tomorrow night we get the kids...Victoria and Josh overnight....I love memory makers!!!
Sometimes you just have to laugh!!!!After spilling a complete cup of coffee over the kitchen counter this week..I said Thank you Lord...It didn't go on the floor or on me. I don't know how I was so clumsy but I refilled the cup and went outside to have some devotional time with the Lord. I opend the book I was reading Experiencing His Presence by Thomas Tenney and the title of this day's study was "Do you know how to carry heaven's hot coffee?"...
God is amazing!!! I just laughed out loud again...it was like HE was sitting down beside me.

This now is a quote from that day..
"How do you carry the fresh encounter of God in your inward vessel? How does a church body guard the divine deposit from one worship experience to the next?
Walk carefully and be aware of His every movement in your heart..whether you are driving your car, leading worship, preaching a sermon, or bathing your baby, if you feel Him softly tap your shoulder, then "fold up the letter" and turn to look into His face. When He invades your empty space of hunger, turn to meet Him in your spirit. Answer His gentle summons as the young man Samuel did: he tentatively called out into the darkness of his empty room, "Speak, for You servant hears".
