focus

life can be painful and difficult,

but it’s when I shift my focus onto the needs of others, the surrounding goodness, and the beauty around me; the pain leaves and all is well.

(2 Cor 4:16-18, 10:5; Phil 4:8, Psalm 1)

talking with God

This might sound crazy or weird, but this is how I talk to God.

I grab a spiral notebook and I write directly to him and I write down what I think He is saying to me.  We have a conversation over paper, and this helps me to keep track of it.   I write speaking directly to him and I write His words as if he were directly speaking to me.

perspective

I believe God’s power to heal is greater than the devil’s power to destroy.

I believe God’s desire to heal is greater than the devil’s desire to destroy

For God is superior to the devil in every way

S.G. is home

B. speaking

Hi my name is D., and I am the daughter of S.G.   Did you and S.  pray for my mother in the Valley Medical Center ?

Oh yes, Ms. S.G.

My father wanted to let you know that he died.

Oh, wow … I’m so sorry to hear that.

My father said that you two made my mom and him so happy and moved when you visited them this past Wednesday.  You were the only ministers that prayed with her; they felt so grateful for your compassion.

Soon after you left,  my mother started to have difficulty breathing. The doctor’s called my family and I to come, and we watched her, and she passed at 1:00 am.

My father said, you two were angels sent by God to bring to her home.  My father and mother are both followers of the Lord, and we know that she is in a better place.

Do you remember my father or mother ?

Yes, your mother was one of the sweetest and gentle spirited patients, and your father was so affectionate to her. He had a hearing aid and he would sit at your mom’s right side, holding her hand.

Yeah,  my parents were married for 66 years.

Wow …  I am … … so thankful for your father, mother, and you calling me to let me know this.  Can I ask, how is your father doing ?

He’s taking it really hard, he’s grieving, would you like to speak with him?  You might need to yell when you talk with, him because he has difficulty hearing, he’ll get new hearing aids soon.

Yes, I would be honored to

Papa, el ministerio quiere hablor contigo.

HELLO!  HELLO!  B.!?  MY WIFE AND I SO APPRECIATED YOU AND S. PRAYING FOR US!  YOU WERE SENT BY GOD!

Mr . G., S. and I were so blessed to meet you and your wife!

SORRY I CAN’T HEAR YOU!!

THANK YOU MR. G. SO MUCH FOR CALLING US, IT LIFTS US UP SO MUCH!

STILL CAN’T HEAR YOU!

My dad wants to talk with you another time, can he call you next week when he has his new hearing aids ?

Yes please!  Thank you so much,  I pray peace and comfort of God to you and your family.  Your mother is with him.

===============

Thank you for the privilege to join you in caring for S.G. and her family.

I want this

Praise the LORD

press on, keep on pursuing, don’t give up

I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope.

I wait for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning;

more than watchmen wait for the morning.

fractured foot healed !

Valley Medical Center, San Jose

This afternoon I was honored to learn from two spiritual moms, talk to strangers, and pray for the sick together.  These ladies have incredible love and faith to heal, and they have very big guts (boldness).

Walking around the hospital was crazy; like every person we saw, S.  and D. would warmly ask about their story and offer prayer.  If they didn’t need prayer, S  would ask about their family, and those family members would bring us to their family members rooms and let us pray for them!!   It was ridiculous.

healing music

mom wasn’t feeling well last night.  We got her in bed, checked her vitals, and made her drink liquids. After prayer I popped in a Misty Edwards CD of spontaneous worship.

Next morning, mom’s feeling a lot better, and she says, “who was that lady singing ?”   “Put her music in my ipod!”
