Is Anything Too Hard for the Lord

Genesis 18:14
Is anything too hard for the Lord?

 Why don't we pray with positive expectancy?
Why don't we start every prayer with "God with you all things are possible, so...."
Studying about the LATE In LIFE child God sent to Sarah and Abraham, I was struck with a challenge. Begin a Genesis 18:14 prayer journal!  A journal for those things, which in forgetting who God is, I might contemplate never coming to fruition.  (No, winning the lottery is not on there.)

There is a strict criterion I've attached.  The answering of each request must bring glory to God and beside the "heart's desire" will be written an applicable scripture verse.
One entry:
Many schools are starting back this week.  My husband is the Head of School at Christian Heritage Academy, a small Christian school in Rocky Mount, VA.  One of the Genesis 18:14 prayers I have recorded is for much needed financial gifts to be bestowed upon the school and for enrollment to increase.

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Proverbs 22:6

 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. James 1:17

 A challenge question came from the Lord.  "If nothing is impossible for me and your aim in praying is for me be glorified, why not pray for all Christian schools to experience financial and student growth and for my name to be allowed back in public schools?"  That mind set lead to praying for the upcoming election and God to place men who fear Him in positions of authority. For the voucher system to be put into place so families could choose the type education they want their children to receive and for our school systems to be flooded with Christian teachers who will train up their students in ways which are pleasing to God.

 Get away with God and he will take you on a real journey!  Nothing is too hard for Him.

She Fought the Good Fight

February 27 Bible Gateway's verse yesterday was: This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him . 1 John 4:9 A fitting verse for the day my everyday friend, soul sister, monster of the faith and mischievous partner in crime, Kaye, left this world behind and headed to her heavenly home. My husband was able to be by her bedside and said he knew she heard the words of our faith that he shared. Her sweet daughter held the phone up to her ear so I could say good-bye and the brightest single star you have ever seen shown through my bedroom window as she exited this earth! Yesterday, my heart literally ached so badly that I told the Lord, "Take me too!" Wouldn't she have been surprised if I had snuck up on her in heaven and said, "Thought you were going somewhere without me, did ya." When we received the call she was ready to go, I called out to the Lord for comfort and He led me to the Bible Gat

Marriage Matters #1

One of life's deepest hurts is when the one you love is unfaithful. Forty years ago, I remember an older friend, whose wife had been unfaithful and left him for another man saying to me..."Boo, I hope you never experience having the person you love and are married to, living 8 blocks away loving someone else." Deep hurt. They divorced. The wife of another friend of ours was having an affair with a fellow church member and a neighbor of theirs who lived 5 blocks away. She moved in with this man and our friend said one evening he was walking by the house where they were living together and saw them sitting at a table having a candlelight dinner. Ugh. The torment. I've always said it would be aweful to find out the person you were married to and  loved deeply loved another.  Hmm. We are the bride of Christ.  Is He our first love? 2 Peter 2:14 says: They have eyes full of adultery, insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed

Are You Sinking... Being Tossed About?

  A text came in from our neighbor recently, on a cold blustery day, when I was home with a stomach bug and awful headache. He said, "My canoe blew off our dock and has floated over to your shore."  And I'm thinking..."And you want me to do what?" I explained my husband was at work, but could help in the afternoon. I went to the window and could see the boat being tossed back and forth along our shore line. One minute it was close to our main dock and the next the winds had shifted and it was 200 feet in the opposite direction.  What I then realized is it had been taking on water. A text came again that he was in his car and driving around to our property.  Climbing out of my night shirt, I put on warm ups, UGGS boots and a hooded coat and limped outside to see how I could help. When I arrived to the shore line, the neighbor had tossed a 3 prong hook tied to a rope into the boat and was pulling it to the shore with one hand.  He had recently had hand surgery and
