RELIED UPON THE HEAVENLY FATHER!

       I counted on His Words back then when we were going around the NW and California and back to Omaha a few weeks later.  We'd be seeing our families and friends since we were getting ready to go to Uganda when leaving Omaha.  We thought we might be in Uganda forever, but it didn't work out quite that way.   We trusted Him,  served Him whenever and wherever we were.  So it's been a huge blessing to us, even though we haven't been around the world or around the nation often enough.  But it was a huge blessing to meet and see many and help anyway, anywhere we could.  The Lord protects and uses and encourages.  All we can count on.
      NOW, as my brain and body issue is a day-time challenge, He is Who I trust and Who I focus on.  He will keep me here, use me here, and take me to Heaven and use me there.  All I count on, moment-by-moment.  I worship and focus on Him consistently and look forward to seeing Him... and many others... face-to-face. 

 [OR however our seeing/hearing/talking/walking situation is there.

Find out for sure when I'm there. 

 And, as I've indicated,

 I can hardly wait!]

TRUSTING THE LORD'S WORDS!

THIS GRABBED MY ATTENTION AND MY HEART

JUST NOW!  

COULDN'T NOT SHARE IT IMMEDIATELY

AND POP IT INTO THE HEARTS OF MANY.

BLESSINGS TO AND FROM THE HEAVENLY FATHER!

THAT'S ALL THAT COUNTS.

 

TREES REJOICING TO THE LORD!

WHEN READING ISAIAH TODAY, AND SEEING THIS VERSE,

I WAS SINGING AND REJOICING AND SINGING SOME MORE.

I DECIDED TO SHARE THE PHOTO I HAD USED AND SHARED

ANOTHER TIME AGO.  I WAS SO HAPPY TO SEE IT AGAIN.

I'M A STRONG WORSHIPER AND A SERIOUS GOD-WORKER.

HE IS ALL THAT COUNTS, FOREVER AND EVER.

ISAIAH GRABBED ME AGAIN!!

AM BURIED IN THE BOOK OF ISAIAH NOW... FOR ABOUT ANOTHER WEEK... AND THIS PHOTO IS 

SO FULL OF TRUTHFULISM.

I FOCUS ON OUR HEAVENLY FATHER CONSISTENTLY,

AND IN ONE OF THE WAYS,

 I, CONSTANTLY LOOKING UPWARD, 

 FOCUS ON THE CLOUDS.

WHEN ON MY WAY TO HEAVEN, I CERTAINLY HOPE

 I CAN HOLD ONTO THE CLOUDS AND 

TAKE THEM HIGHER IN MY ARMS

WHILE WATCHING FOR THE ANGELS, 

 FOR OUR HEAVENLY FATHER'S HELPERS, AND, 

THEN FOR THE REJOICING TO SEE AND MEET HIM.

HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!

HEAVENS ARE HIGH!!

THE INFORMATION OF THIS WHICH I SHARED

A RECENTLY LONG TIME AGO

HIT MY HEART AGAIN TODAY

WHEN I HAPPENED TO SEE IT WHEN GLANCING THROUGH PHOTOS I TOOK WHEN I WAS IN COLORADO IN 2003.

SO SHARING IT AND SPREADING IT 

AROUND AND ABOUT AGAIN.

HEAVENS HIGHER!! A BLESSING FOR US!!

THIS IS ON MY HEART VERY HEAVILY TODAY.

FOCUSING ON THE LORD IS ALL WE CAN DO

FOREVER AND EVER.

HE IS THE GLORIOUS MEMBER OF OUR LIFE!

HEAVENS ARE HIGHER...

I TRULY RELY AND REJOICE UPON ALL OF THIS!

AND MOMENT-BY-MOMENT,

DAY-BY-DAY,

I AM FOCUSING ON ETERNITY! 

HEAVEN AND EARTH!!

HEAVENS ARE HIGHER; HE IS, TOO!

THAT'S WHAT I COUNT ON!

MINE AIN'T PERFECT; HIS ARE.

HIS WAYS HIGHER THAN OURS

HEAVEN'S HIGHER... HE IS, TOO.

THIS IS THE FOREVER REMINDER.

TRUSTING HIM, 

FOLLOWING HIM,

FOLLOWING HIS THOUGHTS!

THAT'S ALL WE CAN DO TO GROW

 MORE AND MORE IN HIM

IN PREP FOR HEAVEN WITH HIM.

ISAIAH 55 .. HIGH HEAVENS

THAT'S WHAT I COUNT ON...

NOW AND FOREVER.

ISAIAH 55:12

I have had quite a time here in Tacoma... wonderfully with friends and family.  Taking piles of photos of trees, leaves, water, birds, and boats. 

On the other hand, though, some stressful bits and pieces. My sisters who live here have, since Mom's death, dug through her hidden files for the first time and discovered "new" info about my mother's adoption when she was born in 1920.  Things are different.  I'll be thinking and "hmm-ing" quite some time.

Leaving Tacoma on Sunday to go to Clatskanie, Oregon, to visit other sisters.  Will post piles of stories and info soon.  So much to tell you.  You will smile and sigh... but rejoice in our Lord.  Nothing else matters.
