feel the heal

i have to remind myself the name of the blog… teach me. this time in my life is a vital time for learning. my body yearns to be taught, but sometimes i feel i’m avoiding the teaching. i think the avoiding is just a part of being human.

my dad isn’t doing that great – today was pretty bad actually. he spent a lot of the day just hacking. every time he’d intake something, it’d make it’s way back up. he’s dry heaving more than usual.

his spirits are down. which doesn’t help. i pray he starts to feels the healing You are doing in his throat and body. i pray that he starts to feel strong. remind him though he may be weak, you are always strong.

For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth. We are glad whenever we are weak but you are strong; and our prayer is for your perfection.
1 Corinthians 13:8-9

answered prayer

Thus says the Lord:
A voice is heard in Ramah, lamentation and bitter weeping. Rachel is weeping for her children; she refuses to be comforted for her children, because they are no more.
Thus says the Lord:
Keep your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears; for there is a reward for your work, says the Lord:
they shall come back from the land of the enemy;
there is HOPE for your future,
says the Lord:
your children SHALL COME BACK to their own country.

Jeremiah 31:15-17

dedication

One day as these men were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Dedicate Barnabas and Saul for the special work to which I have called them.” So after more fasting and prayer, the men laid their hands on them and sent them on their way.
Acts 13:2-3

This verse speaks volumes to me.  While in worship, the Holy Spirit came to these disciples and told them their friends need to be sent.  I think this shows us another way that God can use us.  Not only does the Holy Spirit only deliver messages to us… but it tells us to DEDICATE others to God’s service.  The word dedicate means to be set apart.  These men were called to dedicate Barnabas and Saul to their calling.  I think this shows us how we need to pray for each other.  While worshipping God, it should never be selfish… we should be asking the Holy Spirit to guide us to help and pray for others.  Shouldn’t we lay hands on each other every time we say ‘goodbye’ — as we are going into the mission field… just a thought.
