More Praises, and More Miracles!!!

Liliana has a family!!! Yes, you heard right! She has a family deticated to her! Pray that Liliana can hold on till her forever family comes!

Praising Him

You know those posts I did about the posts I was going to do this August? Well I told Liliana's story instead. I just feel like praising God's name. I am still planning those posts BUT I think right now it is most important to praise the Lord. Will you join me? This post is about praising the Lord.

"Not to us, O Lord, not to us but to you be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness."
Psalm 155:1

"Praise the Lord, all you nations; extol him, all you peoples. For great is his love towards us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord."
Psalm 117 1-2

"Shout with joy to God, all the earth! Sing glory of his name; make his praise glorious! Say to God, "How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemies cringe before you. All earth bows down to you; they sing praise to your name." Come and see what God has done, how awesome his works in man's behalf! He turned the sea into dry land, they passed through the waters on foot come, let us rejoice in him. He rules forever by his power, his eyes watch the nations let not the rebellious rise up against him. Praise our God, O peoples, let the sound of his praises be heard; he has preserved our lives and kept our feet from slipping. For you, O God, tested us like silver. You brought us into prison and laid burdens on our backs. You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance. I will come to your temple with burnt offerings and fulfill my vows to you vows my lips promised and my mouth spoke when I was in trouble. I will sacrifice fat animals to you and an offering of rams; I will offer bulls and goats. Come and listen, all you who fear God; let me tell you what he has done for me. I cried out to him with my mouth; his praise was on my tongue. If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened; but God has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer. Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me!"
Psalm 66:1-20

Do these three verses tell you any thing?
How great is our God! I will sing and dance before him! He has healed me. He gives me hope! He gives every one his love. He is worthy of our praise. Are we really praising him enough? Are we just sitting here and doing nothing to thank him while he is painting miracles before us? Are we praising him in till we get tired or are we still praising him even when we grow weary? Can we just dance a little longer for him? Can we just jump a little longer? Can we just sing one more verse of a song for him? Can we hold up our arms as long as moses did on the mountain? Can we just strengthen our self a little longer to praise him. Or do we stand embarrassed and do not praise him like he should be praised. When we grow weary do we stop or try to jump a little longer? Do we grow weary and stop or give a little more? Can we give a few more minuets of praise to the God who lives. Can we give another hour to the God who saves? I think we can. We CAN jump a little longer. We CAN sing a little longer. We CAN dance on more hour when we grow weary. We can do it for our GREAT, AWESOME, MIGHTY, SAVING, LOVING, FORGIVING, MIRACLE WORKING, GOD. We CAN dance one more hour for him. We WILL give him the praise he deserves. WE WILL PRAISE OUR GOD!!!!!!!!!!!

OH.MY.OH.MY.OH.MY.
God has moved a huge mountain for Liliana in less than 2 days! Liliana's ransom is full! That's not the best part. It's more than she needs! No Greater Joy Mom stopped it today at 107%. We are just so excited! Thank you God!!!!! Again I bring up the example of the fish and loaves. God made there baskets overflow with food! How great is our God?!? How he shows us again and again his miracles!!! Do you really think that Liliana's ransom could have been earned that fast without God? God had to have some thing to do with it! Liliana still needs a family. Pray that her forever family comes SOON!!! And that she can hold on till they do. Miracles!!! Thank you Jesus!!! Hold on Liliana!!!

Good News, Keep Praying

Liliana's donations are getting higher and higher. She has gotten 63% of what money she needs in just today! Keep praying. Liliana is so tiny. She needs a family. Pray that she can hold on till her forever family comes! Again, how can you look into those eye's of Liliana and say no? We praise God for what he has already done. We keep praying for what else is needed and doing every thing we can do. Keep praying!
p.s.
Thank you Mrs. Stephanie for the nice comment.

She is in need of 22,000 dollars to help whoever is going to adopt her. You can help!

How can you look at Liliana's face and say no? Go to http://nogreaterjoymom.blogspot.com to enter the drawing or donate. Spread the word. THIS IS URGENT!!!! YOU CAN HELP!!!!

This morning I was checking in on some of the blogs I read. The first one I went to was A Place Called Simplicity. I have a link to her blog on my side bar. She had such good news! Go to her blog and read the story of Karl. It is a miracle story. Read the good news about him and her precious daughter. I was so thankful. How great is our God? I just wanted to shout to the world. How great is our GOD? How can you not see this? We see miracles ever day. Just look out side. Do you really think that all the trees could just appear? Do you really think that the flowers could create their own detail? No way! God made them. After I read some on the blog A Place Called Simplicity I went to a blog called No Greater Joy Mom. Her link is also on my side bar. Just look under. Blogs I Read. My joyful self screeched to a halt. Just look at the pictures of this 11 year old. Ten pounds. I am 12. I am 90 pounds. A person a year younger than me is 10 POUNDS!!!!!!!!!!! TEN POUNDS!!!!!!!! Can you get that in your head? But still, how great is our God? He is great. Even though the orphans are hungry. That is OUR fault. Not his. We are supposed to help the orphans and widows in their distress. "Religion that God our father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." James 1:27
God gives us grace and mercy so that we can have a second chance to go help those in need. He gave Jonah a second chance when he disobeyed. We have disobeyed but God gives us another chance to go obey and follow that call God has put on us. How great is our God! He works every thing out, for good. Please go to these blogs A Place Called Simplicity and No Greater Joy Mom, and read the posts I am talking about.

For everything there is a season

God puts us in different places at different times of our lives. He puts us in different situations in different the different seasons of our life. The seasons change and so do we. There is a season for everything.
"There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace."
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
What is God doing in this season of your life?

I Guess when it's 100 degrees You Can have Ice Cream at 11:00 in the Morning....

Yes, we did that a couple of weeks ago. Had a fun time down town. I guess we didn't beat the heat though! Sharing a couple of my favorite memories this week.

Who Stole the Cookie from the Cookie Jar?..

You can probably guess Ana. I just thought of that song, I used to love when I was little. Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar? Fun to look back at those memories! Mmm... Maybe I'll snatch just one...

Pray4Rain

The ground is so dry. The grass is brown. I think any day now it will turn into dust. When you walk outside it's like your walking into an oven. Pray4Rain. Will you join us? It's so dry, so hot, so brown. Also there is a famine in Africa. So severe. So many people have died from it. Pray for the famine to stop. Also, pray for spiritual rain. It is what we need most. Go back and read my first post on Set Free. That is what spiritual rain can do.
PRAY4RAIN

Yea! We have Internet access at last! Remember that post I did about Revelation. This was the title. Revelation (coming soon) Ring a bell? Well it happens that just a few weeks ago, I finished the book of Revelation. It is a very deep book. You need to have a relationship with the Lord to read it. I have decided not to write about it cause it is what God shows you through the book. Not what I tell you. Thursday is a fasting day. Read about it at, http://aplacecalledsimplicity.blogspot.com/ They would love your prayers!
