I really needed to hear this tonight.<br /><br />My husband has gone on three mission trips in the last year and a half--one that I got to join him on in March of this year. My daughter is saying that she wants to go to the Ukraine in September of this year. I am all for it... but(I hate that word!) all I can still see is the money we owe from our March trip. <br /><br />I do ask that you pray that God will boost my faith! If my daughter is truly meant to go--and me along with her, cause I'd HAVE to--God will provide. I don't need to see it right here and right now. I just need to (believe).Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14297702598120453725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4378121614850709360.post-28084890030124297402011-05-11T11:32:24.281-07:002011-05-11T11:32:24.281-07:00Aloha GLynnis!

I'm 19 years old and had my first missions experience last Summer, and plan to go for my second this Summer, God willing. Sadly I feel more identified with your oldest son, because I have had a similar response from my mother towards the subject of missions and other ministries. Though it makes me sad that I haven't had the support that you showed towards your younger son, it is comforting to know that you allowed the Lord to work through your motherly fears, and see His will, which goes far beyond that. I pray that my parents will someday understand when God calls me to do something, and concentrate themselves on supporting me through prayer, rather than pointing out why I am not capable or mature enough.<br /><br />In addition to my response I want to thank you for being an instrument from God through your P31 Devotionals and your blog.<br />God bless you!Grace Mariehttp://www.facebook.com/g.marie.mlndznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4378121614850709360.post-89062497524719015512011-05-11T03:35:44.389-07:002011-05-11T03:35:44.389-07:00posting this reply to your 5/11 post

My truth from the Bible that I hold on to (sometimes CLING desperately to) is from Jeremiah 29:11 - "For I know the plans I have for you. Plans not to harm you but to give you hope and a future." It was not until my life turned upside down that I truly started to depend on God for my strength day in and day out. The first 30-60 minutes of my day are spent with my Bible, my journal and my favorite on-line devotions.

We were in the dark in the garage and I knew for sure what that angel was coming to say to us. It was an indescribable feeling. As soon as my Mom died, a sweet friend sent me this verse...<br />"Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared." (Exodus 23:20)<br /><br />I think about this a lot still and use this as a reminder that although sometimes I think Mommy knows best, but God really does knows best. And He really does speak to my baby. She has an open heart and mind I pray she will always have & I will have too as she grows up.elizabethrkenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00405565958310689109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4378121614850709360.post-17263392103948145432011-05-11T03:10:27.277-07:002011-05-11T03:10:27.277-07:00Truth I've learned from the bible that keeps m...Truth I've learned from the bible that keeps me strong in all seasons: hebrews 12:1-2 <br />Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4378121614850709360.post-28695538959737750652011-05-11T03:06:03.145-07:002011-05-11T03:06:03.145-07:00I am with Cindy, Romans 8:28 is my lifeline in tim...I am with Cindy, Romans 8:28 is my lifeline in times of trouble in my life.Lindsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01589176342047346323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4378121614850709360.post-50365676132998995822011-05-11T03:04:36.610-07:002011-05-11T03:04:36.610-07:00I am posting this from the P31 daily devotion.

My life was so empty. I attended church, but didn't let the Word seep. I said my prayers, but not with all my heart. Even though I am going through an 'up' period, I have decided to start EACH day by waking up before my kids, doing my devotion and reading God's Word. I have never felt better. I do want to prepare myself for all things that come my way. I love the verse in Proverbs that says "Blessed are the pure at heart, for they will see the face of God." I want to see His face every single day! I CHOOSE to see His face in the good times and the bad! Thanks for your answering your calling and writing the devotion this morning! Thanks also for giving someone the chance to the giveaway!MommyTeeJayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11328606498210596125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4378121614850709360.post-74198923148379325812011-05-11T02:56:30.336-07:002011-05-11T02:56:30.336-07:00I am actually posting this for your 5/11/11 word (...I am actually posting this for your 5/11/11 word (Off Season Training).

I know I need to meditate on His word day and night but I would appreciate prayer to do it. I won't bore you with the details of my busy schedule but I even find myself falling asleep while praying because I'm so tired. The amazing thing is that when I am faithful I see God answer my prayers. So what's stopping me? I haven't even exercised lately.

Several years ago I fell and after undergoing a preliminary series of tests in the Emergency Room, was told that I have a brain tumor. What?? How could this happen? After my husband and I got the news my first thought was of my children. My son was old enough that if I were to die, he would remember me. My daughter, what would she remember?<br />My parents were at my house caring for my children while my husband took me to the ER so they were the first to be told. We made the decision to not tell our children because they were so young.<br />Trying to do something "brainless" to keep my mind from exploding from the unknown, I opened a package that had been delivered while my husband and I were away. It was our home school curriculum. I was excited but apprehensive as this was a whole other unknown my husband and I was embarking on. I opened one of the books and it fell to a page with a highlighted section in the lower right hand corner where I found my lifeline. "All things work together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose." From that moment on Romans 8:28 became my lifeline. I had total peace in knowing that, while I can't know the future, my Father does.<br />The next three months of waiting for test results were the most peaceful of my life. Numerous people came to me with beautiful words of encouragement and I was able to say in complete honesty that I was not worried about any possible outcome. My Lord had and has me in His hands.<br />Now, eight years later, the Lord has given me a wonderful witnessing tool in what I have come to call my "extra brain."Cindy Pricenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4378121614850709360.post-23072557824205908432011-05-11T02:49:14.626-07:002011-05-11T02:49:14.626-07:00How difficult that must have been.
