Last week at my small group (of which Sharon and her husband are the hosts) we talked about prayer and the ongoing battle between kingdoms. Sharon mentioned (hope you don't mind me saying this, Sharon) that she has been praying for her daughter and her spiritual life, and that she has been in a real bad mood lately.
The group encouraged her, and we all agreed that a spiritual battle was going on in the unseen world. This morning I came across some sermon notes from a service back in January about this very subject. I was talking to Cathy yesterday and said that I feel most Christians really don't realize or acknowledge or understand the magnitude of what actually is happening between kingdoms. This is war people. How much of our daily lives are affected or INFLUENCED by this ongoing battle...we really need to acknowledge this and begin to understand it. I think of Laurie and her continuing struggles with her boss. That is a situation that is more than just "this guy has baggage and is a pain in the ass." It's spiritual and it's a battle that has ensued since Laurie (a Christian) has entered the scene.
Here is what I wrote in my notes from January:
"There is the ongoing conflict of God's Kingdom and the kingdom of this world. We live in the midst of this tension between these two kingdoms. Prayer influences the outcome of both kingdoms...as I pray I engage the enemy in spiritual combat."
The second you speak to God there is a connection between your spirit and the throne room. Can we grasp how powerful and how incredible that is in the spiritual world?! The second that connection is made the kingdom of this world becomes paralyzed and powerless. The more we pray, the more powerful God and his angels become.
Sharon felt distressed over her daughter's attitude and demeanor, but we encouraged Sharon to KEEP PRAYING because her prayers ARE WORKING. There is obviously a struggle going on and Sharon's prayers are interrupting Satan's work. Hallelujah!!!
See Daniel 10 for a real glimpse into this unseen world.
KEEP praying.
PS. And, don't be surprised when you start praying intensely and with great sincerity that Satan's kingdom will come at your with both barrels. They'll battle back hard and fast. But, be steadfast, don't be discouraged...this only means that you ARE making a connection with the Heavenly realm and Satan doesn't like it. When you pray...it's not only God that hears your prayer...don't be fooled. Satan hears it as well. And, he'll do everything in his power to discourage, to depress, to hurt and to knock you off your new found tower of faith.

What I Learned This Week
Last Fall Jamee, Cathy and I began reading "If You Want to Walk on Water, You've Got to get out of the Boat." Every week we would email each other about what we each learned that week. I want to begin doing that here because I'm in such a unique position right now with God doing so much in my life. I feel I just have to write it down.
So, last Sunday was Father's Day and I went to church...the sermon focused on fathers, but Pastor Mark talked about King David and his life...how he was a man "after God's own heart." This interested me. I wondered why God felt this way about David. So, it inspired me to begin rereading the scripture pertaining to this guy. He started out as a shepherd, then his life took a big turn in that the King of Israel invited him to become a member of his court. David lived in luxury wanting nothing, I'm sure...then all of a sudden "he lost his job' (!) and spent a long time "on the run," living in caves...like a futitve. Well, now I'm not on the run and living in caves (although my guest bedroom feels like that), but I began to relate to this guy. I'm sure he felt wronged, abandoned and lost. But, he continued to have faith in the God of Israel. He struggled with God at times questioning the "why" and anquished over what appeared to be the strength of his adversaries, but his faith remained, maybe not strong all the time, but steadfast. And, if you read his Psalms he seems to use the "sacrifice of praise" in those times of doubt, anquish and weariness. I remember around about week four or five of the last eight weeks at the Army a distinct voice told me that I ought to be in a state of praise and worship. When I felt so lost and blind to my future...not knowing what to do or even how to pray...the voice said just praise God and worship Him...like what David did in the Psalms in his darkest hours. And, I've got to tell you it provided for an amazing transformation in my physical health, my psycological health and my spiritual health. Though I still had no answers necessarily, I had some peace of mind and my physical health was protected because the stress level went down. I just seemed to develop that deep down assurance that God was, in fact, in control and I absolutely clung to that feeling, knowledge, whatever.
Okay, back to last Sunday. The one portion of the service that really got my attention was the closing prayer by the Pastor. He was speaking to the fathers in the congregation, but it hit home. He prayed that that day would begin a new chapter for those who need to forget the past and begin anew...to close that book and focus forward. Yup, I needed to hear that. The two weeks since June 2 I had been in a real funk. Functioning, working like a dog, stressed out over the caos of beginning this new business and very depressed and feeling lost over not "having a job" to go to. I realized while hearing that prayer that I needed to close that chapter officially.
When all this began back on March 31 I had started a journal to record my life and what God was saying to me. I realized last Sunday I needed to literally "close that book." I went home and ended that journal and went back to the one I was writing in previous to March 31. Just that little act helped my attitude and depression. I set my alarm Sunday night (I hadn't been doing that up to this point) and got up on Monday, got dressed, didn't sit on the couch with David and was MSNBC, but had breakfast and "went to work." It was rejuvenating. So, this week has been a good week...a lot accomplished and a feeling of more control and satisfaction. The tremendous stress is still there, but I feel more in control of it rather than it controling me.
The OTHER huge thing I learned this week was the simple fact that God does know everything that happens to me and is interested in each and every thing in my life and I can be assured that He will "participate" and "guide" me in my daily decisions.
As I elluded to previously, it's been so crazy with so many things happening so fast...I'm making decisions about the company so quickly and spur-of-the-moment that I was feeling very scared that I was acting on my own accord and was wondering if these decisions were not "of God." Since March 31 my number one fear and paranoia has been to make a step in my life without God's guidance and assurance that it is as He would want. My peace of mind that God was in control of my life was/is coming from me totally making sure every step was guided by Him.
But, decisions were being made so quickly that I began to fear that it was me making those devisions and not God. You just can't stop in the middle of things flying by you and say a prayer all the time...you've just got to "go with your gut."
So, I'm reading about King David right? And turn over to Psalm 139, and read verses 1-6, 17, 23-24. Oh ya baby!!!
"O Lord, you have searched me and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue you it it completely, O Lord.
You hem me in--behind and before;
you have laid your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful me,
too lofty for me to attain."
"How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!"
"Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts,
See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting."
So, I began thinking...there are anxious thoughts in my brain...I have fear and distrust over whether I'm the one making these quick decisions or God. Is God in control? Is He guiding me? Am I making the right decisions? Oh yes...this is "offensive" in the Lord's eyes because I'm not believing He's in control. I'm doubting Him...doubting and distrusting whether he is in control of my life...even these little moments of simple decisions. He knows me. He KNOWS me. When I sit, when I rise...He knows my thoughts from afar, He is familiar with ALL my ways (my day to day ways, the little things/decisions in my life) and He has hemmed me in behind and before. Whew. I think I've been making my God too small.
Read the above passages from The Message (this will kick your butt):
"God, investigate my life;
get all the facts firsthand.
I'm an open book to you;
even from a distance,
you know what I am thinking.
You know when I leave and when I get back;
I'm never out of your sight.
You know everything I'm going to say
before I start the first sentence.
I look behind me and you're there,
then up ahead and you're there, too--
your reassuring presence, coming and going.
This is too much, too wonderful--
I can't take it all in!"
THIS is what I learned this week!

Hmmm
Busy, busy women. Life goes by, doesn't it, with breathtaking speed. I think Cindy and I were both hoping that you would use this site as a place where you can come and catch your breath. I pray that is happening.
I read a quote the other day, "Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away." Well, if that's the case, my life is really zooming by.
I'm sitting in my office on the second floor of "the house on Main." Right outside is a window box with trailing yellow and red petunias and an American flag stuck in the corner. I have to push wide the casement window, hold on and hang out to water these guys. You just sort of give the pitcher a good swing and hope that some of the cascading water lands on the dry soil. (It, too, can be one of life's breathtaking moments!) Good grief, we have two such boxes: one outside the office window and one outside our bedroom window. It makes for an interesting start to my day.
I'm home today with the creeping crud - some bug that is sitting both in and on my chest and throat. You cough until your sides hurt and your toes curl. Another breathtaking moment of life....literally!
Nothing profound today. Just wanted to be with good girlfriends. Let me hear from you!!!
LOL

FINALLY!!!!
Well, I did it! After I don't know how long of trying and Cindy guiding me through this, I finally got on. Maybe that's what's been wrong with all of us is that we're so tech challenged that we've been scared away?
I've been reading all of the stuff, but I just couldn't figure out how to get there. Then Cindy told me (for the umpteenth time) and I still couldn't do it. Pathetic!
Interesting, Cindy, that you would inquire about the prayer requests that were spoken at the summit. I, too, was just wondering on the progress, etc. Although, if someone said that to me I would ask them to define "progress." Man's definition and God's are woefully different. There's a great verse in Psalm77:19 - "Your path led through the sea, your way through the mighty waters though your footprints were not seen."
For those of you in Texas - ever been to the dinosaur park in Glen Rose? If not, go - it's really neat. Although in the summer it's hotter than hoohah!
Anyway, there's a trail that runs down next to the Brazos River and visitors to the park can hike along this trail. I was walking along when I happened to look to my right. The river is on the right and you can see down into the river bed. There are these ENORMOUS footprints - I mean they are the size of a car. Dinosaur prints embedded into the limestone on the bottom of the Brazos.
Everytime I read the verse in Psalms I think about those footprints in the riverbed. We are la-la-la-ing through life - not even conscious some days - thinking "where is God?" and all we need to do is look in the riverbed. "Your path led through the waters though your footprints were not seen." Neat, huh?
So I get back to the definition of "progress." From a human standpoint there may be "nada." But if we look in the riverbed, He's been there and He is there....and He will be there. Because He loves us.
Look down in the riverbed of your life and you'll see what I mean.

The steps of a righteous man...
Okay, so I've figured out that I am having great anxiety over every move we (Stan and I) make. Oh man, it's only been one week officially and we were running around with our heads cut off we were so busy. Now, that's good. But, I felt so out of control (I know, I know God's wants it that way).
But, I'm wondering whether it is us in our "shooting from the hip" kind of approach right now because it is all happening so fast or is the HS active within us at those moments of decision? I have great anxiety over that thought. I'm so afraid of taking a step without hearing the HS or am so rushed and overwhelmed as to not hear what He is saying to us.
Stuff like lease or buy furniture, which place are we to have an office, which equipment to purchase, how much money do we borrow and from who, etc., etc. It's all so overwhelming and we don't know what the hell we're doing!
Then today I read Proverbs 4: 11-12,
"I guide you in the way of wisdom
and lead you along straight paths.
When you walk, your steps will not be hampered;
when you run, you will not stumble."
Okay, two days ago I receive the verses in Psalm 37 about "...though I stumble, I will not fall..." I believe that was referring to my last days at the Army.
How ironic that today I receive these verses in Proverbs, speaking about my future, that I will "run and not stumble" and that "I guide you in the way of wisdom."
Whew. It's too glorious to consider and wrap my brain around.
Continue to pray for Stan and me and OMM Productions, LLC. That our steps would be guided by the Lord and that we will not fear to press on.
BTW, you know, this isn't the CINDY BLOG or even the CINDY BLOB. I'm the only one posting here. I want to hear from you guys!!! What's going on in your own lives? How are you Mary? and your hubby's search for a new career path? And, what's going on with you Tina? How's your family? What's the latest with your boss Laurie? How's that spiritual warfare going? And Carla, how did the implementation of the new accounting system go? Come you girlfriends...let's hear from you.
Love ya,

God Reigns
If you were to ask me what the title of this post would be an hour ago it would have been something like "anguish of the heart" or "the wounded." But, I am in my hotel room at the Stoneleigh (checked in last night) spending the day with the Lord, and my heart is full of praise and worship.
I am crushed in the spirit and have stumbled in many ways over the past two weeks. But, just now I found Psalm 37: 26-27
"If the Lord delights in a man's way
he make his step firm;
though he stumble, he will not fall,
for the Lord upholds him with His hand."
So, I've had those two verses underlined for many years...never quite understanding that if the Lord is making my steps firms, then why would I stumble? Today I know. I know what I know! Hallelujah!
My steps have been firm these last weeks. Firm in conviction, in loyalty to the Army, firm in truth to myself...but I have stumbled in small ways I'm not going to get into here. I have felt great guilt and sadness. But, in this hour I experience forgiveness and the Lord's mercy.
II Corinthians 4:7-12, 17-18
v8-9 "We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; stuck down, but not destroyed."
An hour ago I wrote in my journal that I felt abandoned last week. Abandoned by Stan, by David and by our boss. On Friday when I left, I was the only one left and felt all alone.
I see now that I was not alone. Funny how God reveals Himself to us when we are ready to see Him. I couldn't see Him on Friday. I do this hour.
I continue to rest and heal.

Sigh...
Well, Friday was awful...I'm so glad its over. It would have been okay...managable... if it hadn't been for our rouge employee. Blattantly lifting stuff knowing GS wasn't there on Friday and sporting an attitude of "I dare you to say anthing!" When I went downstairs and saw more stuff missing I just started crying. All of us in the office are probably guilty of walking away with pens, file folders, sticky note pads...whatever...but is it right to feel there's a line that one can cross? And, this person crossed it, went down the street and around the corner!
Stan was buddy-buddy with him all day, which made me extremely mad. I understand that he was trying to maintain a relationship with him out of fear that he may burn his bridge with us and do something whacked like try to steal some clients...but I was so upset.
I just felt hurt, hurt, hurt. I was the last to leave and just felt awful, very very hurt that the day was so bad, that long time relationships would end this way...friendships gone. I can't even talk to Stan right now.
I need to get away...somewhere. I feel raw and wounded.

The Last 24 Hours
Well, the last 24 hours are here. Thank God. I'm eager to get on with it, past it, beyond it and over it. This week's been very stressful. Can't explain here, but true personalities bubbled up to the top and it got unpleasant. It's very sad and heartbreaking. This is not administration, but from within our own ranks. It was confronted today by administration and at the end of the day Stan and I feel truth won out.
Anyway, that's all written in code, but suffice it to say I just want to get through tomorrow without any further stupidity coming from anyone within our ranks. Geez.
I'm doing pretty good this week besides that stress. I'm physically and mentally exhausted...but emotionally I'm doing okay. It was recommended that I take some time off to heal...I believe this is very wise advice. I'm just wiped. A beach would be nice. We'll see. Tuesday eve I only slept one hour. Last night was better, but woke up at 5:15am (I know Cathy is reading this saying, "Is she nuts?! I'm up at 5:00am every morning!!!"). Oh no, wait a minute, Cathy called me the other day saying she couldn't get onto the "blob" at work. Yes, that's what she called it..."the blob." I said, "Cathy, it's a BLOG. Not a BLOB."
HA...goofy girl! :+)
Anyway, I'm ready for tomorrow. Praise God for taking such care of us these past 8 weeks. Not heard a word from the DC since 3/31. Interesting. Stan and I have seen him only twice when we asked for an audience with him.
All for now...I'm exhausted...got to sleep. Love you all.

Anyway, that's all written in code, but suffice it to say I just want to get through tomorrow without any further stupidity coming from anyone within our ranks. Geez.
I'm doing pretty good this week besides that stress. I'm physically and mentally exhausted...but emotionally I'm doing okay. It was recommended that I take some time off to heal...I believe this is very wise advice. I'm just wiped. A beach would be nice. We'll see. Tuesday eve I only slept one hour.
