Pray for our youth!

Elizabeth graduated from Insights School. She is our third to have been homeschooled from start to finish! We are proud of her accomplishments and pray that she will continue to seek the Lord and His favor as she continues in her life journey.

Viktoriya came 5 years ago, speaking little english and graduated an Honor student from Middle Creek. We are so excited for her as well.

Prayer

Friday, I asked Debbie to pray with me.  That I would hear from Patrick.  She asked the Lord that if it was in His will, that I would get a call, not just a text.  I really wanted to hear his voice.

The Lord in His kindness and mercy, answered that prayer soon afterwards!  Not only did I get  a chance to chat that afternoon, but later on in the evening.  Saturday, Vince and I rode up to RDU, and picked him up.  He had had some paper work that needed to get done before he could get processed out of the USAF and come back here.  Next, he will be living in Wilmington, getting a job....signing with USAF Reserves. He'll get cross-trained, and hopefully get some opportunities that he hasn't had yet.  

Ephesians 3:20 NASB

Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us,

Happy 13th Birthday Michelle!

Elizabeth is making sure she holds Michelle's head.(2/21/96)

2Timothy 3: 14-17 NIV

But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking , correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.


We thank God for his blessings upon us, and Michelle is certainly one of them that we continue to Praise Him for! We are grateful to all those who gather around and help her to grow in her knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ!

Psalm 145 (New Living Translation)

New Living Translation (NLT)

Psalm 145

^[a]A psalm of praise of David.

1 I will exalt you, my God and King,
and praise your name forever and ever.
2 I will praise you every day;
yes, I will praise you forever.
3 Great is the Lord! He is most worthy of praise!
No one can measure his greatness.

4 Let each generation tell its children of your mighty acts;
let them proclaim your power.
5 I will meditate^[b] on your majestic, glorious splendor
and your wonderful miracles.
6 Your awe-inspiring deeds will be on every tongue;
I will proclaim your greatness.
7 Everyone will share the story of your wonderful goodness;
they will sing with joy about your righteousness.

8 The Lord is merciful and compassionate,
slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.
9 The Lord is good to everyone.
He showers compassion on all his creation.
10 All of your works will thank you, Lord,
and your faithful followers will praise you.
11 They will speak of the glory of your kingdom;
they will give examples of your power.
12 They will tell about your mighty deeds
and about the majesty and glory of your reign.
13 For your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom.
You rule throughout all generations.

The Lord always keeps his promises;
he is gracious in all he does.^[c]
14 The Lord helps the fallen
and lifts those bent beneath their loads.
15 The eyes of all look to you in hope;
you give them their food as they need it.
16 When you open your hand,
you satisfy the hunger and thirst of every living thing.
17 The Lord is righteous in everything he does;
he is filled with kindness.
18 The Lord is close to all who call on him,
yes, to all who call on him in truth.
19 He grants the desires of those who fear him;
he hears their cries for help and rescues them.
20 The Lord protects all those who love him,
but he destroys the wicked.

21 I will praise the Lord,
and may everyone on earth bless his holy name
forever and ever.

Just a reminder to myself as Terry closes out our study on Psalm 145. It covers a lot of circumstances in my life, and I can't help but Praise The Lord!
How about you?
