Biblicar Mistakes

The deeper I get into the Bible and the more I get to know God (if that is even possible) the more mysterious he becomes to me. Maybe it’s better that way. Maybe God shouldn’t be so figured out to the point where we hardly even need him anymore.
I was reminded of an interesting story today where JC (Jesus’ street name) couldn’t do any miracles because the people did not have faith. Couldn’t? Didn’t the Bible mean “didn’t“. I’m pretty sure Jesus can do anything. The Bible must have gotten this one wrong. Oops.

On a side note, did anyone else enjoy when my title includes the made up word “biblicar”. I nearly changed it to “bibliosical” or “biblioastical” but finally decided that biblicar was more simple and thus more entertaining.

Father God, we ask you to give precious little Shiloh to Jen and Filipe. Clear away every obstacle, quiet governments, rush paperwork, do whatever you need to do to bring their little girl home. God by faith we ask you to do your God thing and bring Shiloh home.
Amen

Prayer and Fasting

(Copied from my wifes blog)

Shiloh is the sweet baby of Jen and Filipe Nunes. They have been in the process of adopting her from Guatemala for many months. They have had her precious picture since she was 2 weeks old and she is now 7 1/2 months. They have gone to see her and spent a week in Guatemala as a family. Shiloh is still in her orphanage just waiting to come home to them. There are several things holding up the process and (even though they have been trusting God all along) it is getting harder and harder for them to be without their child. Now with the political situation in Guatemala changing there is a very strong need to pray for this family. The new president is saying that he will stop all adoptions coming from their country, including ones that are already in process now (this would include Shiloh), at the beginning of the new year. At this point now it looks like Shiloh wont be home before then. This is a very discouraging and scary situation for the Nunes family.

What they really desire is to have their daughter home and safe with them by Christmas time. For this to happen it is going to take a miracle. We need to all pray that God will answer the desires of their hearts and bring her home to them.


I know it’s short notice, but on Wednesday the 21st (the day before Thanksgiving) we are going to do a prayer and fasting day. We are asking anyone who knows their family or who wants to petition God on behalf of this precious child and her family join us. If you have a blog or myspace please link to this post or cut and paste this request so that as many people as possible read this before Wednesday.

If you want to pray with us please do so. If you would like you can leave a note on my blog or Jen’s letting us know you are joining in or just write a note of encouragement for this family.
Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers!

Be Strong and Courageous

Jones hasn’t stopped talking for two days now.
So five minutes ago I said “Hey Jones, can I tell you something? You are very special!” and he quickly replied “and very courageous!” Since then he hasn’t stopped saying “and not be afraid”. “Jones it’s almost time to go to bed” and he replies “and not be afraid”. “The driver on the bus says…and don’t be afraid!”
You see the scripture that we have prayed over him often is from Joshua and says be strong and courageous and do not be afraid for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.
It’s a blessing and a curse at times, but thank you God for answering our prayers.

Thank you Jonathon.
Listen. Turn your sound way up and listen very carefully.
