Warrior

I want to be a Warrior.

Yes, I am a young woman, but I want to be a Warrior.  I want to be highly trained and good at what I do.  I want to fight! 

You have probably guessed it, I want to be a Prayer Warrior.  Although I am still in the learning stages, I am being trained by The Best Warrior out there.  I have personal training with Him whenever I am ready to listen. 

 I fight things that sound scary, things that should be in books.  But they are in a Book.  I am told to fight them. 

Ephesians 6:11-12
"Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.  for our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."
Vs. 18
"With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints..."

Even though you may never see me in battle array, I am constantly covered in it.  Even though you may never see me fight, I do.  Even though I am a woman, I fight- and I hope I fight well!  I do it with a large company.  I do it by myself.  I am a Warrior.

Even writing this up I get a stirring of heart to "go to battle!" with the call of my Lord wringing in my ears.

A favorite song of mine which I can't seem to find online, (we have the CD) is Battle Song by Holy Smoke.  It is a stirring song that depicts what we do in everyday life- we go into battle. 

I know who my General is and which side will Win- do you?

A Warrior For the Victor of victors, Lord of lord's, and King of king's,

Cat Video- Make sure your carpet is clean so you can ROFLOL

We watched this on an e-mail that passed around and LOVED it!  If you have ever had cats, this is so true.  They are all clean fun, so grab your kids or siblings. 



It is bittersweet watching this as my loved cat, Snickers, has gone missing. If anything, these videos were thought-up by watching him. Anyway, as much as Snickers was a stinker at times, he was my favorite cat. I really have been missing him...

In Christ,
Rebecca

Praise/Prayer Request!!!!

I have a praise!  We have heard from our realtor that we could be closing in under 2 weeks.....


Wow.  What a praise that would be.  We have had the property on the market for 2 years this November.  Before that we had been trying to sell a really small part for 4 years.  It has been a long, long time.

I can't wait to write down the whole of what our experience is, but that will be for later.  Right now I am trying to praise God for what He is going to do, while holding myself back so I am not hurt again.  That is hard to do.  It really looks like this is going through.  Going through quickly.  Right before our last chance to hold onto our dream. 

Is God amazing or what? 

I ask you, I ask you hard!  To please be praying for everything to go through.  For us to be delighting in Him for what He has done.  God has reopened our eyes to the glories of the headquarters and the things we can do to change it to what we would enjoy (adding a bathroom!). 

This will cut down dramastically the load of pressure on Mom and Dad.  It would be so nice for that to happen.  It is hard on them, but it is harder on us to watch them go through this. 

I appreciate it, and thank you.

In Christ, the Mighty God,
Rebecca

Prayers

I would appreciate your prayers for a dear friend of mine.  She has had a tough year.  4 months ago her father died, 3 days ago her dear friend and cousin passed away, and today she learned that she just miscarried another baby. 

I know the pain she is going through right now.  You wonder where God is right now.  You know He has everything under control and that it is all going to work out for His glory.... but you just wish you could have one good thing..... 

People are always saying "trust in God, He will take care of you!".  It is nice to hear that, but you are trusting in Him.  You can trust someone while you are hurting.  You can ache while you know that God is a Loving God that knows what you are going through.  But it still hurts.  And aches.  And you have bad days. 

I just ask you to be praying that God would refresh her spirit.  That He would place His hand on their family in a way they can see.  That she would be blessed beyond measure.  That God would give her the desires of her heart. 

In Christ,
Rebecca

Great Commercial!

180 Movie

Did you know there is a holocaust going on in America today?  We talk about it all the time.  We don't use that word for it, there is another term used to make it "politically correct". 

If you don't know what I am talking about, watch this video.  (for age 14+ unless edited by parents.  Talks about adultery, etc.)

Blog Review

Check out a wonderful Christ-centered Movie Review Blog!  This is a Godly young man my family has known for years.  He reviews movies in a way to let you know if it is worthwhile, and if it has older, mature content.  Here is part of the description he put in his "About".

WHAT’S IN THE NAME?
Reel Quick is intended to be a place where you can find quick, comprehensive movie reviews from a Christian perspective. My purpose is not to write an in-depth analysis of a film, but rather to give the reader a brief, but informative, overview.

WHY?
Those who know me know I love movies. I enjoy watching them, critiquing them, and talking about them. I had originally intended Reel Quick to be only a personal journal, a place where I could record my thoughts about the films I watched. But as I thought more about it, I realized that there might be others who could benefit from the site as well…

Truth be told, the vast majority of secular movie sites provide inadequate – if not downright misleading – reviews. For example, have you ever sat down to watch something that was labeled “family friendly”, and then found to your dismay that it was everything but? My family has. And it’s aggravating in the extreme. My hope is that Reel Quick will be of benefit to those who have the same frustration, and find themselves in search of quality, conservative reviews.

Go check it out and support him!  We need to have more movie review places that you can trust.  :)  Don't you just love his blog name?  I thought he was quite ingenious with it. 

Blessings,
Rebecca
