Prayer is so important and effective in this age we live in. During this time in our life it seems that is all we know for sure. I was telling Taremba the other day that we need to rely on the one thing we know, that is God. This is where faith comes into play, when your life is not for sure or going the way you would like it to. The only for sure thing we know is God and His faithfulness. God and His goodness. God and His bigger plan.
Thank you, God for having each and everyone of us in the palm of your hand. Lord, cause us to be like the bride and come out of the wilderness leaning on you. She understood that her lover was her strength. She depended on him even for her steps. God give us this revelation(Song of Solomon 8:5). She clings to Him. She had desparate dependence on Him. She is depending on her beloved for help with every step. During difficulties or crisis(the wildreness) the secret place becomes our source of survival. It's only in Him that we can survive.

TODAY'S DISCOVERY
Today I discovered that my kids are getting too old too fast. I am watching them prepare for school and they don't need me to help brush their teeth, put lotion on, pour a bowl of cereal, or even buckle up in the car anymore. I love them so much and love each stage they are going through. It is so fun and exciting watching them grow up to be awesome lovers of God.
Thank you God for my children. Lord cause them to grow deep in the knowledge of your love for them.

Our Trip to Washington DC
Man! We have been really busy! We just got back from The Call DC. Yes, Washington DC, where the president lives!!!
We had such a good time. My mom(Penny) and I took the kids. The guys had to stay they couldn't make it. We left Tuesday and drove all the way to DC. Well we actually stayed the night in Ohio and took our time. On Thursday and Friday we were able to do some sight seeing. Then on Saturday we attended The Call DC.
For those who don't know what The Call is:
TheCall is a divinely initiated, multi-racial, multi-generational, and cross-denominational gathering to corporate prayer and fasting. We believe that our nation is in desperate need of the mercy of God and a great Spiritual Awakening. TheCall is committed to mobilizing people from all across America to gather together to petition God for His undeserved mercy for our nation in 12-hour solemn assemblies. Just as in the days of Joel, we believe that now is the time to blow the trumpet across our land, to fast, to pray, and return to the Lord with all our hearts.In the midst of an “entertainment” driven society, TheCall does not seek to entertain, but to encounter God. Unlike other mass gatherings which attract people through the rhythms of loud music, the glamour of flashing lights, or through the appeal of charismatic personalities, TheCall is a gathering centered around the affections of a loving God. There will be no advertised bands and no promoted speakers, as our purpose is not to promote any man or ministry. TheCall is a FAST not a festival. TheCall is a SOLEMN ASSEMBLY not a conference. Whereas conferences focus primarily on training and discipleship, the 12 hours of TheCall are spent primarily before the Lord in the place of prayer and worship. We believe the hour is late and the times are urgent. Our nation is in desperate need of revival and it will be only through the corporate body of Christ uniting in the place of prayer that we will find any hope in this hour. We believe we can see our nation changed as the Lord pours out His Spirit and brings refreshing to the broken, destitute, and the weary across our land.
It was an experience of a life time. To be part of something that is changing history. Going to my first Call revived me. This is my purpose to call out for justice, mercy, and God's glory to come to earth now. I believe we moved mountians on Saturday. It was so amazing to me that people could come together as one, for one cause and fast and prayer(for 12 hours straight). The time just flew and before we knew it was over.

Until next time,
