On Being Transformed...

(I love this picture...it is totally random,
 but so are some of my thought I share later in this post...)


Prayer Request Sunday


Here I am.  Here you are too.  Glad you stopped by, how was your week?
Can we pray about something together and see if we can take some of the heaviness or burden off your heart and put into our Father's hands together?




God is so amazing. 


 I was ministering Saturday morning with Sparrow Ministries and was just so filled with joy as I did.  What a privileged to follow God and to do what He is doing. 

 I was so blessed by a woman named Raven (not her actual name). Raven is near 70 years old I'd say, and suffers from health issues and has had many hard past life situations.  She was hard and tough to say the least.  Many were afraid of her and found her too difficult. God has been transforming Raven through love. He broke of so many hurts and has begun to heal her in so many ways!!!!

 Raven just amazed me, as she came to apologized to me for calling me a, "Jesus freak," so many times.  She saw it now as "persecution," and wanted to tell me how sorry she was for that.

 a bit of background:

 After I would talk with her, boldly sharing Jesus, she would turn and mock me to others (which included one of my daughters who had grown to love Raven and my Knight, who happened to also minister here.) "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus...she just says it too much!" she would say.  We laughed it off, as my own children say, "Mama is always calling out to Jesus, Jesus, Jesus!" (I do this if there is sudden need and I want Him interceding for us or in an urgent situation.  I am a woman of prayer and know who it is I need to call to.)

I had been sharing God's love for her, but never really felt like she was really listening or open to the gospel I was sharing. Raven picked at the breakfast food we gave out each week and let me sit with her from time to time, but I really felt like so little was making it to her heart. I gathered it up in prayer, as I know it is power to us.   God's Word never goes forth void.

  One morning she shared she had a dream that was really bothering her.  I told her that sometimes God had allowed me to interpret dreams and perhaps I could help her understand what it meant.  It was amazing what transpired next.  She gave me the details and the Lord quickly deposited meaning into the pictures she had held since the dream.  The dream was about God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.  It was about her need to see Jesus for who He is and her need for Him to be her Lord and Savior. Raven didn't like Jesus and didn't believe He was part of the Trinity.  She listened to the interpretation, but still seemed to not really want to take anything from me, whether it be friendship, the gospel or dream interpretation.

I think the only reason she listened to me at all is because I told her earlier, that I too had Native American blood flowing through my veins (Blackfoot).  She as a Native American was okay with God, but not with Jesus.  She drew from that until God began unraveling the pictures He had spoke to her in this dream.  

Several weeks went past and I hadn't gone to minister.  When I came and plunked myself down next to her, as she ate her pancakes, she said, "Look at me closely, do you see anything different?"  I studied her, and other than she no longer looked angry, she was radiating light.  She began to giggle. 
(which isn't her at all!)

She blurted out, " I am a Jesus person too.  I asked Jesus to forgive me and I am a Christian now.  Hey, I got baptized. And I found this little church and the people are so helpful to me.  I am learning so much about Jesus!  I am telling everyone I know about him.
 I LOVE JESUS NOW TOO!"


You could have blown me right over.  I think I was laughing and crying at this point- I am sure I let out a shout of victory as well!!  

My friend Raven is transformed.  She is being transformed.  God's Word does that for us and to us.  He does it to us, if we let Him. 

 I want to be transformed, 
I am being transformed as I give Him my life.

We gave Raven a large print bible with Jesus' words in red. She had asked me weeks before for a Bible she could read.  When I bought it, I had prayed over it.  I asked God to use it to help her understand who it was that Jesus was.  But the day I gave it to her was the day she announced that she had found HIM.  She cried as I handed her the Bible and clutched the handwritten card with Jesus and all His many names on the front, to her breast.  She said this was the best thing that ever happened to her.  Funny how I thought when I chose the card that I might just get punched by her for it, now she wanted to frame it and look at it daily.  How fast God can move and how transformed one can be by His love poured out and received.

Oh Lord, transform us and let us be more and more like JESUS!
Sharing this and hoping it draws you in deeper too!


God is so good!  He is amazing!

Prayer Request Sunday

Prayer Request Sunday


Do you have something that you'd like to pray about together? I'd love to join hearts and hands and lift whatever your burden is together to the Lord this week.

*************

 

 

Spring looks like it has FINALLY arrived in our part of the world! How wonderful to hear the spring peepers singing in the cool of the evening once again, and to see the birds busily carrying building materials to nest with.  

We have begun yard work and fence painting was on the list of chores yesterday.  Still more to do and to spruce up around here, an ever continuing process.

   Which reminds me of our spirit and soul, which often needs sprucing up too.  How are you feeling spiritually?  Are you excited in your walk with God?  Are you passionately seeking Him, or could you use a little spiritual cleaning and a fresh touch from your Heavenly Father today?  

If you find that you are not where you'd like to be, let's pray on it!  Let's bring our hearts and minds before Him and ask the Holy Spirit to come in a sweep away the winter cobwebs that have gathered and bring refreshing to our spirits.  Just like a good closet cleansing does wonders, so does a soul searching for the believer.

Cleaning, whether in the natural or in the spiritual, is always a good thing.  And it is always good to have a friend to walk with you and to encourage you to press on and shake of the dust!


Psalm 139:23 (Amplified Bible)

 Search me [thoroughly],

 O God, 

and know my heart! 

Try me and know my thoughts! 

 

and I love it from The Message Bible~

 Investigate my life, O God,
    find out everything about me;
Cross-examine and test me,
    get a clear picture of what I’m about;
See for yourself whether I’ve done anything wrong—
    then guide me on the road to eternal life.

Do You Need Prayer?


Could you use a friend, someone to stand with you and lift up your heart concern to God?
I'd love to join you in that!  Please leave your need and together we can carry your burden and lay it before Jesus.

Hope your well ~ May God bless you today!

Prayer Request Time and Stuff of Friendship


Hi, so glad you stopped by today.  How is your heart today?

 Wondering if there is anything we could believe together for today?  I'd love to pray with you, connecting hearts as we lift up our requests to God.  He has such a desire that we draw near to Him.  

Simply leave a comment and we'll get started.

If you have something to Praise God for...
well please let us all know so we can give thanks for that too!

I will start...

I have a praise.  Yesterday, I got to spend a most remarkable day with a friend from across the pond.  She is here visiting family, her name is Heini.  She is a ball of sunshine and is a lover of God.  We were able to sneak away alone and shop to our hearts contents. (we both love shopping!!)  My heart and spirit were greatly lifted by God allowing us this time alone together.  I could feel a spirit of heaviness lift as she shared our hearts and giggled throughout Saturday.

 I have been praying for a shopping friend for some time, most of my friends do NOT share the love of shopping that I have.  So though it won't be a regular activity that we get to do, it was still an answer to prayer and so blessed my heart.

 Paul and Heini Euliano,
Pastors of Champion Life Church (Glascow, Scotland)
I borrowed the picture from their blog,
 because we didn't have time to snap photos
 or eat on our shopping day.  We are serious shoppers after all! ;)

 Heini is a beauty inside and out. She is amazing, a strong woman of God, creative, always smiling, full of joy and carries a special prophetic anointing as well.  She has a huge heart and is a bundle of joyful energy.  Everyone that gets close to her is transformed by her bubbly personality.

 We had so much fun running to "Charity shops" as she calls them and pushing our "trolley" through the second hand shops.  We both made out well.  I came home with an amazing buffet and she came home with a pair of sweet cowboy boots and several new sweaters, that will keep her warm in chilly Scotland, where she and her husband Paul pastor, Champion Life Church.  

What a blessing to have a friend who loves to do the things that you love to do.  What a absolute joy that mixed into it all was a very strong sense of His Presence.  Perhaps that was because my dear Heini (Hay-knee) started by praying as I made my way through traffic to our first shop, asking the Holy Spirit to come and bless us in our time together.  And how fun to have a friend with such a cute Finnish Scottish accent, too sweet!

*Thank you Paul for sharing her with me.  Thank you my dear Knight for suring up the home front so I could escape with my Heini for the day.  Thank you Betty (Paul's mum) who made it all happen by giving birth to Paul and being my very dear non-shopping friend.*

Wait on God.  
The wait is so worth it!!

Time to Pray!



Here I am, here you are too!  While we are here together,
 how about we pray. 

 What would you like to pray about?  Something heavy on your heart, a need you have, for your marriage, for a husband, for your kids, for an adoption, for vision for what God would have you do, for a job, for your aging parents, for your health, for opportunities to share your faith, for encouragement ...

Open up this post with giving me some direction as how we should pray.  Share, it's what friends do.
And please don't leave me hanging, hook a sister up!

Do You Have a Need or Desire Today?



Happy New Year! 

 Praying this New Year is notedly marked by the very Presence and favor of God upon your life.  Has He given you vision into this New Year?  Would you like me to pray with you for vision?  Would you like me to stand with you in receiving something He has spoken to your heart for this new season?  

I want to love Him more. 
 I want to serve Him more.  
I want to hear His voice both day and night.
  I want to be a fisher of men and saved the lost.  
I want to make Him Lord of my heart and teach my children to do the same. 
 I want the fire of God ~ 
passion and zeal~
 a fresh anointing to love as He loves.

Father, here I am, I need Your help.  I want You and I desire to glorify your Name with my life.  Draw me closer to Your heart and to Your will for me.  Let me not miss an opportunity that You lay before me each day of 2014.  Teach me from Your Word, fill me so I can pour out into those You place into my path.

Oh Lord, make Your Name great and let Your Light shine as never before in my life.

Draw us to Your side and fill us with Your Holy Spirit.
in Jesus' Name,
amen!

 

Waiting to hear from you...
come on, don't be shy...
I love to pray!

Linking Up For You!



Tonight, as I was listening to a sermon online, it became increasingly aware to me that someone who reads my blog, also needed to clear some time to hear God speak through our brother Edwin Buitrago. 
 His sermon on 8/4/2013 is entitled:

The Fruit of the Spirit- Faithfulness

Don't delay, because the sermon will only be available for a few short weeks....I will link you to the media section of Bethel Christian Church...a place my family has grown to love.



also feel free to leave prayer requests
...still and always in prayer mode! 

Praying that God helps you clear some time to sit at His feet 
and learn what it is He is telling you. 

Be blessed and make yourself available to Him this week!

Prayer!



I would love to pray with you this week?
Anything on your heart that we can take together to God this week?

May God bless you greatly dear ones.

Prayer Request Sunday



Trust in him at all times,
 O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us.
 Psalm 62:8

Hi Friends!!!
Thank you for the love via prayer, as I took a MUCH needed break from blogging. A super big thank you for those who took the time to check in on me and even blessed me with gifts, you guys are so sweet.  I definitely felt cared about, missed and loved. (good work!)

  It was a good break and I am so thankful to God, for the refreshing that it brought me.

I was very weary and am feeling so much better.  Sometimes we find ourselves in up to our eyeballs, sometimes life becomes too heavy and everything seems to be coming upon us too hard and too fast.  Parenting, homeschooling, friendship, running a household, adoption, my walk with God...it all seemed to be calling for me, and there wasn't enough of me to go around.  So I kept chipping off bits of me, until I found myself very chipped and feeling like I was not a vessel that was road worthy.  A tune-up was in order...will share more on what I did another post...
I am going to slowly approach blogging...a little here, a little there, making sure that I keep it in balance.  I think that sounds good.  I want to do some blog updating, but it seems daunting right now.  (it is almost like I never blogged before...weird, but a true feeling for me.) Pictures need to be updated, perhaps a new banner, a few less of this and a little of that, but boy just thinking about it makes me tired. I am totally self taught in everything this blog has become, now there are even more options out there and it seems like such a big thing to manage.  (does anyone have a blog designer they'd recommend?)
Looking forward to catching up with all of you...you've been on my heart!   I've been praying for you, as God brought you to mind.  What a joy it has been to get to know you over the past several years...oh how I missed you while God *rested me up.*

  May our love for each other grow and may our friendships flourish!

How about some prayer...
what could I share with you this week in prayer?
 Leave me a note in comments and let's get this ball-a-rolling!

Prayer Request (and a bit of a sabbatical...)


Welcome to Prayer Request Sunday-
Hope you stopped by to say, "Hi,"
 but also to drop off the things weighing on your heart,
 so we can lift them up to the Lord together.  
I love that about blogging, being tied to the heart, though we've never met face to face most of us.

 I'd love to pray for you this week.


and on to other business...



I am going to take a sabbatical from blogging for a while.  Now I am not sure if a while means a week or much longer than that.  I just feel that I need to be refreshed and stepping away will hopefully be the trick that works the wonders that I am hoping for.  

I really have felt the Holy Spirit nudging me to take 'a break of silence.'  

At first I thought, how can I do that, I am surrounded by people pretty much 24/7.  I thought maybe a week in isolation might be what God was calling me to, but as I don't see how that could be possible with the responsibility I carry here ...then I thought, well maybe I could stay and just be silent (which I guess God might ask of me still). I am not sure how that would work, with our homeschooling, and the kids need for me to help throughout our school day.  So, I pushed that thought aside too.  Then I thought, well maybe 
 a day...
but so far it hasn't gone beyond thinking.

However, the more that I think, the more I think I need to push away from the table of this blog.  I don't think He is asking me to stop, but maybe in the quiet I will know for sure.  I know nothing is forever, but I know that if somehow I even touch one heart, then it is all worth it.

Have any of you taken a retreat in silence?

  I'd love to hear about it.  

I could use some refreshing. Do you feel this way too?  

God has been in a season of some heavy duty closet cleaning in my life.  He has been removing things left and right, family, friends, more friends, even animals.  My heart is somewhat in denial, but I can see that He is clearing out, hopefully preparing me for an exciting new season that is coming.  Loss hurts.  It is easy to slip into the "why me's" and into depression.  I have been fighting it, trying to find the bright side to each new disappearance and what it could mean for the future.  

Can't say I am getting a lot of answers, but the clearing away seems to be pretty dramatic. I've never had a season like this before, boom, boom, boom...one loss after another, piling up like wreckage at a terrible accident scene.  It really has left me spinning and not sure that I am equipped to go on in the journey.  Perhaps a rest stop, "pit stop" to get fixed up and emerge better equipped for the race God is calling me to. 


Please ...KNOW....
Know that I am thinking about you.  
Know that I am so glad that God brought our lives together. 
 I hope He blesses you mightily as you seek His face.  

I covet your prayers! 


Psalm 46:10

"Cease striving and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” 

and I leave you with this from Parker Palmer~

 The soul is like a wild animal—tough, resilient, resourceful, savvy, self-sufficient.  It knows how to survive in hard places.  But it is also shy.  Just like a wild animal, it seeks safety in the dense underbrush.  If we want to see a wild animal, we know that the last thing we should do is go crashing through the woods yelling for it to come out.  But if we will walk quietly into the woods, sit patiently by the base of the tree, and fade into our surroundings, the wild animal we seek might put in an appearance.

Prayer!


Praying for America- Moving Mountains Monday!

Hi friends, how was your weekend?  Ready for another week set before us?  Well, do you have some time to join me in praying for our country?

Today I am going to be focusing on giving thanks.

 1 Chronicles 29:13
Now, our God, we give you thanks, and praise your glorious name.
 

Join me or add what the Spirit has put on your heart for today...

Father,

Today we come before You to thank you for Your Goodness!  Lord, You are so very good to us.  Your favor indeed does last a lifetime and Your mercies are new each day.  Father, we thank You for our nation, for it's leaders.  We thank You for Your protective and guiding hand on our behalf.  We thank You for the provision over our lives, our families and our friends. 

 Lord, we thank You for our churches, for our Pastors and for all they give to us, because of their love of You.  Holy Spirit, please help us through today to give You thanks.  Remind us of the good You have so generously poured out upon us. Enrich the ones You have called so they can teach us and grow us into a people who will follow You with all of our hearts.

 We ask for Your hand upon us today, upon our President and those in authority in our country.  Father, we have such abundance in America.  I am afraid that having so much has made us forget how very good You are to us.  Lord, so often it takes sickness, troubles or death to make us fall on our knees before You.  Forgive us, for our short memories of Your faithfulness and provision to us. 

  We know You have made our country great.  You have guided our steps and protected our borders.  Lord, we thank You for Your hand upon our military and that You are giving the leaders wisdom and power to keep this country free and safe. We thank You for Your generous Spirit and that we haven't even been faithful when You show Yourself so faithful on our behalf.

Thank You Father for Your love.  Help us to receive it and to live in it.  Lord, open our hearts before You, cleanse Your people and draw others into Your family by softening their hearts.  Make Your name bigger before our eyes. 

 Ultimately Lord, we confess our absolute need of Your power, love, and Presence in our lives, and in America.  We ask for You to move mightily and to glorify Your matchless name!

In Jesus' Name...
amen!


p.s.- if you have a prayer need, drop it in the comments or send me a private email and I'd be happy to pray for you and with you this week!


Ruth 2:12
 
May the Lord, the God of Israel, 
under whose wings you have come to take refuge, reward you fully for what you have done.

Prayer Request Sunday...Confession...



Today I am going to share something...

maybe you've been here before, 
maybe somehow you didn't hear or understand...
but today I want to make it clearly known 
(the confessional part of this post)

I am LOVED...
before I ever became a Christian, (which doesn't mean that I go to church, but means I follow and live my life for Jesus)
 I was loved. 
 Wondering what I am talking about?
  Well, it goes something like this, you've probably heard this or read it before...
but it says:

For God so loved the world (meaning people and all He so beautifully created)
that He gave (a free gift!)
His only Son
(my beautiful Jesus)
that whoever (me! me! me!  and I hope you too!)
believes in Him
(makes Him Lord and Savior)
will not perish
(die, waste away, have eternal separation)
but will receive (again the gift being offered)
Eternal life.

Now this gift and eternal life isn't only for the old, the sick, those who are desperate...but for any who will accept it. It is freeing, it is life changing, it is amazing...and I am IN!  I've been in (His Family)
and am so thankful to be loved.

YOU see He is offering a gift. 
 The gift is Jesus. 
He came wrapped in humanness.
Have you unwrapped the gift of Jesus...

He lived, He died, He paid the price with His  blood to bring you into His family.

There is only one way to become a Christian and it is through accepting Jesus.

I love Him, because He first loved me.  

Because of this love, I am a leaker of LOVE.  If you get close to me, I will inevitably leak on you.  You see, I am a lover of all things Kingdom related and want to be sure that you get a touch of Him, when you are with me.  

Light is in me, (Jesus is the Light of this world)...you can not get near me without having this Light seep out of me (because I am a leaky vessel).  He made me to be leaky on purpose.  He doesn't want me to contain this LOVE He has so freely blessed me with, He wants me to give it, to share it, to grow it.

So there...now on to the next part of this...

are you still an orphan...?
do you know the One who died to give you life ?(real life, not the stuff this world offers)
do you have His joy...?
do you know His goodness...?
He is most definitely GOOD...

if the answer is 'Yes,'  then Hurray...!
But if the answer is, 'No,"
 then don't waste another breath without joining the Family.

You have a Father (nothing like the earthly one you were given, whether that father was good or bad or somewhere in between)...and He loves you. 
 A LOT.
  He wants you, He desires you, He is waiting for you, He thinks you are beautiful, wonderful and you are pleasing to Him. He has plans for your life...come and see.


Please, please, please...say Yes to Jesus (leave me a note if you want me to pray with you.)

And if you do know Him,
 leave me a "I'm totally in too," note!

Let's be LEAKY this week!

Prayer! Want it?


Here i am, offering to pray.  Anyone interested in joining hearts and seeking heaven together?
 
Personally, I would like to confess that i have been battling fear.  it has been sneaking up on me.

 God has been silent and it has left me in doubt, instead of strong faith.
i really am struggling and crying to Him to remember me

Have you ever struggled thinking God forgot you?

 let's be real and admit that there are times when we just feel forgotten, not due to sin or anything that intentionally separated us from Him (sin), but the silence stays too long and we need Him to come.
as much as i call to Him, still He remains silent.  as much as i pray, still He is silent.  as much as i seek Him, still it feels like i am alone.

real, just me being real.

and i know the Word.  i know perfect love casts out fear.  i know that He has promised to never leave us or forsake us...but I know Daniel, David and well Jesus, cried out to Him not to forget them.
(really, look it up in your Bible, it's in there)

 just saying.  i know David asked to be remembered...

so if you'd like to pray for me...i'd really love that.  and as i spend a lot of time in prayer
 (and in the Word), i'd be happy to pray for whatever is on your heart too.

On not being Offended



 who was that?

on being a masked super-hero of sorts:

This post is a little about:

*being who you are
(even if nobody knows who that is)

*not being offended

*using your gifts (without fear)

* not worrying about leaving a name tied with your actions!

Ever feel unconnected?  Ever feel unsure or unused as a Christian?
Ever feel like church is painful?

This all ties into the fact that I am struggling a bit with church.  Finding myself wondering about where I fit and if I am in the right spot. I have been with my church for over 15 years, so this is not something I haven't applied myself (or my family) to.

  Spending a lot of time in the Word, a lot of time in prayer, but not feeling the love where I find myself worshiping.  Not that God isn't LOVE or that He isn't there, for certainly He is, but it is a people problem I guess. 

 We have had a major transition over the past year at my home church.  Time has pressed forward after many unexpected changes, but my heart is still aching. 

Yesterday, I went to a women's breakfast at a church I have been worshiping at mid-week with my family.  It is not my home church, but has been a place of healing to some of my wounds. The Pastor's wife was sharing her testimony and I was so interested in hearing it, as she has suffered greatly over the past 2 years.  I wanted to hear how God has led her through the tough spots, which included getting a finger amputated this summer.  My family has been frequenting this church for nearly 4 months regularly.

Post the gathering, I went over to encourage her.  I had spoken to her a couple of times and had been praying for her and her recovery.

After I turned to leave (post giving her the words God gave me for her)...my daughter saw her mouth to another woman, 
"Who was that?"

When my daughter told me, the first reaction I had was pain. 
 OUCH! 

 But as I sifted through it, I realized again, it isn't about me or leaving my calling card so to speak, as it is about wholeheartedly doing as God says.  I could have become offended, as hurting people often do.  I could have made a decision to not ever return to "that" church again (or I could say that about my own).  I could cringe and decide to not let the Holy Spirit move me to encourage anyone again.  I could decide that I am not going to use my gifts in my church or in any place, as it is just too risky.  

Now all of that may sound childish or extreme, but let's face it, it is what happens everyday to us as Christians.  Offense sinks its claws into our hearts.  It grabs us and slowly hardens our hearts against the things God has for us.  It makes us bitter and angry if we let it.  

How you doing?

How's your heart?

Mine is good. Do you want to know why?

 I made the decision to be a masked man of sorts, one who doesn't care if anyone knows me.  I am willing to serve Him, even if it is anonymously.  After all, this life is not my own, it was bought with a price (i.e. the blood Jesus poured out for me on the cross). I am not going to draw back, but grab my armor and run forward!

Wondering if anyone wants to join my new club of masked woman ministry?  I am going to not let the enemy get me down, but I am going to continue to pursue God (and His heart) with all that I have!

Want to join me?
*feel free to leave prayer requests, as today is still Prayer Request Sunday!

Dig into it...The Bible



Let's take a path together for a minute. 

 Let's dig into a bit of God's Word and see what it speaks to us.

  God's Word still speaks to us, it is active and alive, unlike any other book.  It not only is the best read book of all times, it is full of love stories straight from the Father's heart...shot like an arrow that points us to His Son, Jesus.

Tonight I was reading Ephesians 1:16-17

(let's read it together)

I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers.  I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know Him better.

Paul was praying the the Ephesians would come to know their Savior (the Christ) better. Jesus is our role model for this life.  The more we get to know Jesus, the more we press into the Word, the more we seek to know Him, the more we will become like Him.  
If we study Jesus' life through the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) to see what He was like on earth some 2,000 years ago, we can take those life lessons He gave and apply them to our lives for today.  We will gradually become more and more like Him!

We can choose to get to know Him in prayer too. We just need to come to Him and ask of Him.

Personal knowledge of Christ
(Jesus the One who came to save us)

Do you know Him?  Can I pray for you?

Prayer Request Sunday


Can I pray for you this week?

and Karen...
got your email...
I am praying...
God knows your heart and the ache you
are feeling.


Leave me a note and we will gather together to lift your
needs up to our Father.

Prayer Request Sunday...how about YOU?


The short and sweet of it:  
Do you want prayer? 
 Just leave me the details on what we will pray together about and we can get to it.

Hope I am not sitting here alone long. 

 And don't worry if we've never met or if it is something not very important in the grand scheme of the world.  Leave it anyway and we will see what God says and does in regards to it!
