    I was listening to a sermon by Pastor Jack Hibbs about worship yesterday (Free to Worship pt 2).  I was saying how God loves it when you talk about Him.  It is a form of worship to talk about His works, and His love for us. 

    This is a place of worship.

    He said to try to imagine God say (and I am going by memory here) "Hey, Michael, Hey Gabriel, quiet...they're talking about me!"

    I like the concept of "Wherever two or more are gathered in My name" being a "church". I think we always have a service going on here.

    Enjoy your chili and wine today Meece, but remember to update us on Matt when you hear.

    Hello Ladies,

    Your thread name caught my eye because I sing this song in church for special a lot and of course just about every morning as I stroll through my garden.  I didn't read all 43 pages of this thread but I do believe it is one that I will add to my favorites.  Meece,  your post on worship is right on.  My pastor once taught us that if you want to get God's attention.....worship Him.  It is the one thing that will cause his ears to prick up so to speak.  He owns all we have...our air, land, money etc.  The one thing that we do own right now is our worship and when we give it to Him, He is pleased.  That is awesome.  Looking forward to keeping up with you ladies.

    Karen

    Mary...When I saw the picture Cry

    My DD moved to Honolulu about 2 years ago.

    And you are absolutely right When I visited her few months ago, I felt so much peace inside me.

    Thanks

    Beautiful pics ladies...especially loved the hands.....it almost looks like He is opening up the clouds to let His light shine down on us.  I would love to travel the world and see all the beautiful creations He has made, but if I don't have the opportunity I can enjoy the pictures and knowing that one day the sights I shall see will be MUCH greater than what I could see down here. 

    God Bless!!!

    I am back.

    I am still waiting fo rmore info on Matt.  We were out of cell phone reach today, and I told him where he could call if there was something of concern.  He just left a message.  He was surprised and disappointed that they didn't release him today.  They have added another med that makes him extremely tired, but i think they are targeting the migraines.  I also can't imagine him being discharged if he just got moved from ICU to CCU 24 hours ago.  Poor guy, he is so wanting to be out of the hospital.

    Meece...Maybe Japan is becoming like USA they want to discharge the patients as soon as possible. My aunt is still in Istanbul-Turkey she had an open heart surgery and they kept her in for 10 days. She didn't even have any complications.

    Its good that he wants to be discharged.

    Hugs to you and Matt.

    I spoke with Matt last night.  They are going to keep him "A while longer" because his headache has become extreme and he cannot eat because of the nausea.  You could tell he was in so much pain.  He says they are trying other meds, but he is topped out and the nurses were trying to come up with non-med ways to aleviate the pain.  Any ideas?

    I am glad he is in supervised care right now, so they can help him with the pain.  I cannot imagine what it would be like to be alone in his dorm with the severe pain.

    THank you so much for being here with me.

    God is so good!

    PM, so glad you are home.  Did your DH have to rent a van to bring all the flowers home with you?  Remember to keep them watered, and if you don't have any flower fresh stuff put in their water, you can put an aspirin in each vase.  Real straight aspirin, Aleve and Tylenol won't help at all.

    Many nights we've prayed
    With no proof anyone could hear
    In our hearts a hopeful song
    We barely understood
    Now we are not afraid
    Although we know there's much to fear
    We were moving mountains
    Long before we knew we could

    There can be miracles
    When you believe
    Though hope is frail
    It's hard to kill
    Who knows what miracles
    You can achieve
    When you believe
    Somehow you will
    You will when you believe

    In this time of fear
    When prayer so often proves in vain
    Hope seemed like the summer birds
    Too swiftly flown away
    Yet now I'm standing here
    My heart's so full I can't explain
    Seeking faith and speaking words
    I never thought I'd say

    There can be miracles
    When you believe
    Though hope is frail
    It's hard to kill
    Who knows what miracles
    You can achieve
    When you believe
    Somehow you will
    You will when you believe

    They don't always happen when you ask
    And it's easy to give in to your fear
    But when you're blinded by your pain
    Can't see your way safe through the rain
    Thought of a still resilient voice
    Says love is very near

    There can be miracles
    When you believe
    Though hope is frail
    It's hard to kill
    Who knows what miracles
    You can achieve
    When you believe
    Somehow you will
    Now you will
    You will when you believe

    You will when you believe
    Just believe
    Gotta believe
    You will when you believe

    Very Nice, Paula.

    I have to relate something that happened yesterday.

    My friend we went to help is very into astrology, as is her duaghter.  They "match people" bytheir signs.  And they were comenting on matches.  The comment was made that guys tend to dismiss Astrology, and say things like "You believe in that?" They said they reply"Do you believe in God?" (Inferring that they are both the same, things you can't see but believe in)

    They asked what my "rising sign" was, and I looked squarely at them and said "I believe in God".  It took them back, but it is little things like that that let them know there is something bigger and wiser that gets me through these rough times.

    I BELIEVE IN GOD!!!

    I spoke with Matt this morning.  Seyla, you may be right, they have now added Riddalyn (Sp?) to his cocktail to try to fight the headache pain.  He is on many meds.  Really down about not getting released, but I kept saying how encouraging it was that he was not alone in his dorm going through this pain.  He says they are not even talkign about when they will release him now. (I never thought they were).

    He is craving Fries from McD's.  They have him on a salt free diet.  I am also thinking that changes in his diet could be contributing to the pain.  Sort of a detox... Not salt and no caffeine.  I only have one cup of coffee a day, but when I miss it, I get a caffeine withdrawal headache. 

    Thanks you ladies.

    Thank you Father, for everything!
