I'M BAAAAACK !

Hey Family, I have been so very busy with a.) Keeping Nina my delightful daughter busy and focused this summer and b.) My workshop ~ "He Said ... She Said ... But, I Heard - The Art of Active Listening" . I really had a great time at the seminar. There were 32 wonderful people. The interaction was great and I received some wonderful words of encouragement on the surveys that I handed out at the end of the workshop. I have done other workshops in conjunction with other people but, this was my very first one on my own. I believe all the other times I was being groomed by GOD. Delay does not mean denial, remember that. I included pictures !!! So take a look and let me know what you think. Blessings of, Bliss

Day 3 ~ She's Healed !!!

"Try this medicine and see if it works." How many times had the woman with the issue of blood heard this ? She had stopped counting after the 7th year. Seven ... hmmm isn't this number supposed to be very significant to GOD ? The seventh year is supposed to be the year of jubilee. But, her seventh year was more of the same. Prayers that seemed unanswered, stilled being labeled unclean by the priests, and another year without her family. Thoughts of hopelessness enveloped this sweet child. She had heard that JESUS was doing some amazing things for other people. Maybe ? ... No, let's not get our hopes up again. That man from Asia was supposed to be the answer to her problems. Yeah right ... he just stole the last of her money adding more problems.
But this JESUS seemed different. People who met HIM said HE was so gentle and caring, and all the reports confirmed that HE was a healer. BUT, can HE heal me ? The doctors say ___ , but can HE heal me ? The test results confirmed ___ , but can I trust HIM ? So and so had such a rough time that she ___ , but can I believe in HIM ?
GOD answered all of these questions in HIS WORD. GOD is VICTORY !!! Luke 8:40~48 Tells this woman's remarkable story. She dared to believe ... She dared to touch the MASTER ... She was HEALED !!! This same JESUS and all that HE did for everyone in the BIBLE is here for YOU and I today. Just reach out and RECEIVE HIS LOVE TODAY.
My mantra this week has been "GOD's ability is based on my availability." GOD's ability to change things for my good is based on what I give or make available to HIM. What do you need to surrender to your heavenly FATHER ? We have surrendered the cancer of our loved ones to GOD by fasting and praying these past 3 days. We are asking HIS will to be done so that HE will be glorified. We claim all this and more in the Wonderful,Healing, Loving name of our big brother JESUS ~ AMEN.
Thank you everyone who joined with us. May you be blessed beyond your wildest dreams.

Day 2 ~ Beauty is More Than Skin Deep

From the Book ~ "Praying Through Cancer"
Some days I don't like to look into the mirror. My once smooth skin shows the scars of eight different breast surgeries. My hair must be colored back to its original auburn hue and chemically treated to combat the post-chemo frizziness. Some days I feel far from a natural beauty ! Fortunately, GOD sees beyond the war wounds of cancer. HE looks at my heart. When HE sees me surrender myself to HIM and begin to love HIS WORD, I am the prettiest girl in the room ! { Do you hear this Kelly, Carol, Geneva and any other dolls going thru cancers beauty regiment ?}
It is interesting to consider that JESUS did not come to this earth as a handsome or wealthy man to attract people. Instead, HE humbled HIMSELF to die on a cross and remove our sin so that we could be made gorgeous women-flaws and all-in GOD's sight. HIS wounds on the cross ( they weren't pretty!) made us right and beautiful before GOD.
LORD, thank you for being willing to be physically scarred so that I could be beautiful before the KING of the UNIVERSE ! Help me to focus not on what cancer is doing to my physical body, but how YOU are making and molding the inside of me. I thank YOU for this opportunity to shine because of YOUR perfect work in me, a work far more important and lasting than my physical appearance. I praise YOU for the promise that those who look to YOU are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. Fill me to overflowing with YOUR radiance and light !
~ Laura Geist
TODAY'S TIP: As you look in the mirror at what cancer has left behind, be thankful to the LORD for exchanging HIS scars for YOUR beauty.
PRAYER REFERENCES: 1 Samuel 16:7; Isaiah 53:4; Psalms 34:5

Day 1 ~ Quiet Whispers

Elijah of the Old Testament was a mere human being like you and I, one who was privileged to see great manifestations of the power of Almighty GOD. Therefore, Elijah expected to see GOD in something bigger than himself when he was told to wait for the presence of the LORD to pass by. HE wouldn't have been surprised to encounter GOD in a powerful wind, a huge earthquake, or a roaring fire. But a gentle whisper ? Yes, that's exactly how GOD came to Elijah - in a gentle whisper.
Let us minister to our family members who are battling cancer at this time{ Carol Johnson, Aunti Geneva, Kelly Golliday etc. } in a gentle whisper from GOD full of tender love and care. Prayers, Instrumental music and whispers of love help usher us into HIS presence.
OUR PRAYER ~
"LORD JESUS, open our spiritual ears to 'hear' Your gentle whispers of comfort, peace, and assurance. Even though our family members are enduring a tremendous tornado in their lives, I know YOU desire that they simply be still and know that YOU are GOD. Thank YOU for YOUR promises to sustain us on our sickbeds and restore us from our beds of illness. YOU are faithful ! I am so very grateful for YOU being patient with me. If I listen with my heart, I can receive grace amazingly given in just the right portion for my present need. FATHER GOD, it is indeed a delight to trust in YOU."
TODAY'S TIP : Listen to the whisper of GOD in music that adores and magnifies HIM.
PRAYER REFERENCES : 1 KINGS 19:11-12; PSALMS 46:10; PSALMS 41:3,2; 2 PETER 3:9
