I worked until yesterday morning after 8 am, got up within four hours and had an amazingly blessed and productive day. I thought I posted about flipping to Psalm 82 and ending up back in 2Tim with Bryan in the afternoon. Alas, I did not. How I am awake after less than 3 hours sleep this morning is a mystery. Not sure why God wants me up, but I trust He does.

I flipped to Nahum 1:3 again today. I was here 7/24, as well. I am going to go back to see what I wrote that day. I shall pray the Holy Spirit helps me discern why it may be meaningful today, aside from Hurricane Irma going from a 5 to a 3 last night, amongst much talk in the interwebs about the end of days and Revelation.

Thank you, God. Oh, I love you more each day and praise your name, always!

In all situations, indeed. What a timely message from 2 Timothy 4 this morning. Between God, family, work, friends, volunteering and then old Harvey & Irma storms, it would be easy to lose my focus. Two teenagers are enough to take anyone off balance!

The FDA is a time-consuming and ridiculously unclear in much of what they are demanding from us. While I know I have 21 more days to accomplish the tasks ahead, I am more grateful Jesus is hanging out with me as I , with His help, put myself on task. I am thankful God has shown me in His Word to stay focused on ALL He has given me.

I loved the days of spending 6-8 hours in the Word and hours on the phone with Pam and Bryan discussing it. It is exhilarating, no doubt. Still, I praise my Heavenly Father for directing my heart and mind.

I will stop to post my flip each day in obedience. I may write a quick sentence, I may not. Always, I will be praying as I work. I will aim to be aware of others put in my path (unlike Harvey) so that I am open to how God may have me serve at this time. Always, I will praise God Almighty!

Thank you, Lord, for establishing obedience in my spirit! While I was not thrilled to stay up all night, until 8 am, to complete Phase One of the FDA filing requirements, I am grateful you got me through them.

Honoring God first and responsibilities next. I will return with any personal notes at a later time. Obedience first.

Every morning, I flip.  It’s my deal with God, if you will, to trust Him to show me exactly where He wants me to be.  It’s been uncanny the past two months how every single flip has been relevant and timely for two friends, in two different states, in two different spiritual status of health.  Only God can stitch together such beauty and allow us to feel His power, love and mercy in each stitch.

This morning, I woke with a clear direction on my heart.  I did not have the need or desire to flip.  Instead, He whispered, “desire of your heart” and encouraged me to learn more, dive deeper and trust.

Last year, my post on FB included an old photo of us together:

 As much as I love my son, God knew my heart’s desire was to have a daughter the second time I was pregnant.
…What pure joy to learn I had just delivered a little girl!
…She defends the defenseless and champions causes with a passion rare for girls her age. When Morgan does cling to me out of pure love, need, compassion, hurt or anything else, the look in her eyes is *this* look in this photo. Immediately, my beautiful teenage daughter is turning four and there is something sacred in the moment

I heard “Samuel and Hannah” and yet started in Psalm 20 and Psalm 37.  They were PERFECT for all three of us this morning.  I was blown away.  Then, I go through 2 Samuel and just know that was the beginning.  Go back FURTHER, Carol.  Okay, Father God, let me go back to 1 Samuel, right at the beginning.  As I am turning back, my page stops at 1 Samuel 18 and I am drawn in by David and Jonathan.

Chills.  I hear Rich Mullins singing “What Susan Said”, think of Dawna Kalanges, Maria Harris and Heidi French.  Lord, please help me find D & M!  Thank you for helping me find Heidi.  I share with Pam, who, by the way, had already texted Luke 21:25 – the exact same verse Blake shared with us in the car last night.  Yes, Lord, I hear you and see you at word…Thank you for being such a Good, Good Father!

I make it back to Hannah, the first two chapters.  I remember the Beth Moore Heart Like His Study at Heidi’s house when I was pregnant with Blake.  I know in that moment that God hid that in my heart so deeply 17 years ago for His purpose today.  I am in awe.  Lord, I wish to pray as faithfully as Hannah, always remember that everything we have is YOURS and to continue to be as generous as you empower us to be.

Pam was in Jeremiah, with the tribe of Benjamin, all about the orphans and defenseless…what a blessed Godversation.  I had so much to get accomplished today but must trust God had me exactly where He desired me to be…with him, with Revelation, with the most beautiful gifts of discernment …on the same day he gave me a daughter to love.

This is the key topic and everything circles back to GODVERSATIONS.

***REDACTED DETAILS OF SOMEONE’s CANCER***

Father God, thank you so much for the spiritual healing you are working in ***REDACTED*** I praise your name and was overwhelmed with joy to see her in good spirits yesterday. Please show me how to submit in a way pleasing to you and to her. I love you.

Flipped to Colossians today. Mark and I discussed briefly before church.

Kent preached about spiritual death today and it’s beautiful that Pam and I were in almost every book and chapter referenced. When he pointed to the need to digest the Word and Spirit of God, immediately I was thinking of Ole Zeke, the prophet Ezekiel. Yes!

I just write an entire two full pages and deleted it by mistake. Father God, I am asking you to restore my thoughts to share them here.

It snowed quite late and it’s been a long day. ***REDACTED FOR PRIVACY***  Thank you, Lord, for showing me and teaching me about our enemies.  Thank you for how you bind Pam and I through your Word. I love you and in Jesus’ sweet name, I pray.   (P.S.  Thank you for giving me a hubby who will pray out loud with me specific things be cast aside and loosed in heaven.)

Felt the need to flip Marks Bible open before going downstairs. It’s like I was reading 1 Kings 1 for the 1st time, yet I know I read it last July. Excited to look back on my own and explore with Pam, but wanted to note first key thoughts:

• Never let guard down against temptation and sin
• Can never be superficial with God
• God fearers can be leaders and suffer with family relationships
• Moral and spiritual character take YEARS to build and require patient discipline, especially with children!
• Do NOT let service to God take so much time and energy we neglect other GOD GIVEN responsibilities
• Setting limits for children allows them to develop necessary restraint
• Huge reminder that good comes from evil through Bathsheba. Adultery, as bad and wrong as it is, still leads to Bathsheba becoming the mother of one of Israels wisest kings and ancestor of Christ!’
• Gods forgiveness of sins is complete when we completely turn to Him.
• Thinking of this example shared at Kendra’s funeral and how the key takeaway was to mourn and move on, smiling. We can’t be glad something happened; we can be joyful for the good which comes from it.
• Every feeling and important note is something shared with Pam this past week. All so intricately woven…two eyes from two sisters are meant to discuss
• See what is different between Marks Bible study notes and mine, as well as Difference in Pam’s version. Focus on reason God wanted me to flip in front of Mark, with his Word.

Father God, thank you for loving us so completely. I praise you for reminding me to focus on all you have entrusted to me, including my children and our business. I feel you speaking and convicting me, even when my flesh is weak. You are empowering my spirit to see your desires for me, including encouraging me to share my convictions with Mark. Oh, please let the Holy Spirit guard, keep and empower Mark when he leaves for Texas in a few days. Please use this mission to draw him to you in new and amazing ways. Let Josh see and feel you in every person they encounter. I trust the calm you out in my heart that despite it being my worst month for him to go anywhere; it’s is YOUR timing and my role as wife-mom-your daughter is to support him with YOUR word. Oh, Father, I can only praise you, in tears and humility ! Just typing those words, I recall another flip last July and relating so strongly to Paul—another sinner called in a different desert. He served with tears and humility and it resonated deeply enough you claimed it on my heart. Jesus wept. I am beyond grateful you are showing me my inner-Paul, my growing Jesus and better ways to be consumed by you while serving other responsibilities in my life. Thank you for your son, Jesus, and all he did at the cross. Thank you for my family and. Lessings and for showing me that serving them, served you. Please keep me focused today to accomplish your will on every area of my life. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen

Lord, thank you for revealing your work at group last night, with Pam’s perfectly timed (you ) call and all the glorious ways you are changing ***REDACTED*** thinking. Wow, you have him avoiding sin and acknowledging his spirit is strong but his body is weak. Thank you for that revelation!

Covenant between He and Darla to pray for Kim is beautiful. My long text to her inspired by you must have been used well. Thank you for that reminder.

Thank you for healing my back and my husband’s stomach.

I need to say so much more about these long GODVERSATIONS with Pammie Sue.  Trusting your timing.
