EMAIL SENT MARCH 16, 2007
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S
FINISHED!

I wanted to send out an email tonight just to let you know we're still
alive and that we finally have our bathroom back. I'm sorry that
I've been offline for so long. We had to tear our bathroom out
down to the ground, and it's taken almost 3 weeks to get it built again
and functional.
We had to do it because the tub had been leaking and along with
termites, had damaged the floor joists and the foundation of the house.
So Rodney had to replace a lot of wood, with just me and my sons to
help. Not that others wouldn't have offered, but we had to
do it as we could buy the material and we wouldn't have asked people to
work for nothing.
Anyway, we also needed a handicapped accessible bathroom for Chris,
which we now have. It's tiled and has a low step-into, walk-in
shower with a long shower hose and handicapped grab bars.
Thanks to some lovely gifts from family, it's outfitted and is
everything he dreamed it would be. Me too. And we all
learned a lot from the construction.
This project wouldn't have been possible if it also didn't coincide with
Rodney quitting a job, because he was always so busy he couldn't have
worked long hours for so many days and worked outside too.
Tomorrow he has his first little job outside the home to go to, and it
gives me comfort because it's proof AGAIN, that God provides for us, and
gives us exactly what we need, WHEN we need it.
God's timing is perfect and His love is boundless, endless, and no one,
no matter how smart, can know it's depth.
Praise His Holy Name!
There are also some really wonderful praise reports. I've been
trying to keep posting the prayer requests and praise reports on the
blessing meadows site, so please remember to pray for these souls and to
send me your requests too.
We're supposed to work together as a unit - a body of Christ, supporting
and encouraging one another in love and forgiveness. I'm anxious
to do that and to be the proof that God accepts us as we are - and so I
celebrate you, as you are, and am so glad to call you my friends.
I hope in this time that I haven't written, you haven't had any traumas
or crises, or lost the hope to go on.
The devil has been so busy in this area, and in besetting us all with
disease and pain. We know the promise of God, that Jesus was
beaten for our iniquities and infirmities, and that by his stripes and
death on the cross, we have not only eternal life, but can lay claim to
perfect health for our bodies and our finances!
If we learn to change our moans into praises, and to call on His name in
faith, and stand in agreement with each other in Christ, then these
pains, illnesses and things that bring us down so quickly, MUST back
off.
It can't fail, despite what doubters say, because His Word is true and
will stand even beyond the last breath of the last human being.
So let's stand strong and fight back the enemy, taking back the ground
we have lost and truly let this year be as it was prophesied - a year of
Jubilee and freedom for all of God's people. A year of doors
opening and setting free those who are in bondage.
The Bible says whoever the Son sets free is free indeed. Yes
Lord!!!
There is a lovely song they sing at our church in Albany, where the
Jesus of Revelation is riding a white horse and asks who will ride with
Him. Do you know that song? I'm thinking of one line,
perhaps in the chorus, "yes Lord, we will ride with you."
I believe that's how it goes. What a beautiful image.
Our rescue, our knight in shining armor, coming to snatch us from the
hands of destruction just in the nick of time, and to side with His
team.
There is another song, that I refer to frequently when sick.
It has a very simple slow melody and any way you want to sing it is
fine, as long as it's with reverence and belief.
"You are the God, that healeth me,
you are the Lord, my healer.
You sent your Word and healed my disease....
You are the Lord, my healer."
It boosts my faith and has the Holy Spirit in it. Use it when you
feel overwhelmed, to return to the "knowing" that God is
willing and able to do all that we need and ask.
(He is FOR us, not against us, and if God be FOR us, who then can stand
against us??)
For more faith boosters, refer to the "faith confessions" on
the blessing meadows site. www.blessingmeadowsministries.com/faith_confessions.htm
Have you seen this article I wrote a short while back about how to
balance your health and live strongly? Take a look when you get

Also Dr. Jay Snell has wonderful material about abundance and joy on his
website. www.jaysnell.org
I love you all very much, and I pray God will bring you such wonderful
blessings today that you won't be able to stop smiling all weekend and
will have to pray for relief for your smiling muscles!
Write to me and let me know you're ok. May God bless you and hold
you always.
