thanksgiving
God has been faithful to me.
I wish I could leave it at that. For that is the only thing that is really coming out of my heart.
Now, I am resting, healing and recovering for whatever comes next...but I now this is only a stage, a temporary stage. a needed stage.
When God took me aside I hadn´t noticed who worn out I was, but I was.
Fatigue makes you weak in a different sense, it makes you vulnerable to the enemy. So God took me aside before things got really bad.
I can look back and see tons of mistakes, tons of things I should have done differently...but today I am looking at the things I did right out of grace.
I am looking at the beauty of obeying, passionatly obeying God.
I could say that obeying God in this world is an extreme sport. It is dangerous. The chances of getting hurt are high.
I got hurt...BUT there it is, in the midst of my human nature...God granted that I would obey Him!!
And it was fun...but the best part is:
SO MANY THINGS ARE ALIVE!!!!
There was a time when I thought "I am alive!"
but now I look around and begin to see that so much is alive!
I mean people, AND nations!!!!
People:
Yesterday my cousin was here for a visit, his first born suffered some kind of illness and now has problems controling his muscles...but he is alive, AND such a huge blessing! He is so beautiful! I wish you could see his eyes and smile!!! he is walking and in general moving about, he is learning to talk, and eventhough his problem is a real problem...he is alive, and so is his family. I sat there and watched them, such a neat family. So much laughter! So much love! So much pride of their kids! And even the love my cousin showed towards his wife warmed my heart.
All the result of much prayer, not only mine, but yes, God had answer my prayers! "my" little boy is fine! and he will bless the nations...I know.
another cousin had a brain tumor. He is alive. He is weak and having to learn everything from scratch. But he is once more walking close to God. he is back. he is alive!
suddenly I get real heart touching letters, "my" children talking about their thirst for God, their desire to get back to the place they once had with God or sharing the amazing way God is moving in their family.They are alive!
Friends daring to take steps of change which they had postponed out of fear.They are alive!
A group of young people going to the jungle in Bolivia on a missionary trip. The jungle is alive!
My own boys...moving toward something great. They are alive!!!
Nations:
Remember Africa? I remember it as one of the strangest stories in the prophetic I have ever lived...well, the people that received the prophesy are actually obeying God and taking steps to get to Africa!!! AFRICA IS ALIVE!!!
And several people of diferent nations have agreed to translate the bible studies in:

The Nations are alive!!!
God is faithful.
He has corrected me, made me pass by fire...and now He is telling me:
"there, see the things we brought forth, they come out of your obedience, they are your crown."
I take off my crown and place it at his feet...
"God, I obeyed out of grace...
the credit is all yours, the credit is all yours"
I wish I could leave it at that. For that is the only thing that is really coming out of my heart.
