Dear Sisters,
God is calling us to prayer and fasting for our nation. Please spend some time on Friday, September 25th in individual prayer, family prayer, praying with friends and fasting as God leads you for the protection of our nation and the salvation of those who come to our land. This is a significant day in our nation’s history. We need a national revival and prayer awakening. Repent, confess, cry out! God is merciful.
Much love, Dawn Kennedy

It’s always nice to be reassured of your faith. You do something, learn a lesson, then God says, “Here’s your sign.” When you crack your bible open and look up the verse He gave you, then you smack yourself in the forehead like you forgot to drink your V8.
Today, mine was this: I slept in and was well rested. I did my Bible study (instead of hopping out of bed and getting sidetracked immediately) then got up and ate lunch, since I’d missed breakfast by this time. I know, I know. It’s bad to miss breakfast. I slept through it. I wasn’t hungry when I got up, anyway.
So, I ate, then was all energized. I went into the laundry room and eyeballed the pile that I had been keeping behind closed doors for…well I don’t know what for….fear of being eaten? Who knows. I got the machines working (YES! They keep working even when neglected! Woohoo!) and took the clean clothes to my room.
I dumped the basket on the bed, then rummaged up an incredible number of empty hangers. The bareness of the closets shocked me! One would think this was a nudist household by looking at them! After gawking briefly at the mountain on my bed, I proceeded to fill the hangers. I only paused long enough to go to the appropriate closet when a grouping got too large to comprehend.
Before I knew it, I was done. Done? Done! The clean clothes were put away, and all I have to do is put away a load after it comes out of the machine, toasty and snuggably fresh. That’s some concept, not having clothes to put away unless they’re still warm. The next one I’m going to try and wrap my artistically-not-organizably-inclined mind around is not having a mountain of dirty laundry. That would be a glorious day! No laundry, save for what would be in a hamper. Wow.
So, I sat down to relax after a job well done, and I heard a familiar warm fuzzy voice in my mind. He said to me, “Well done. See? It didn’t kill you. You glorify me by having a presentable home. You do not have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” (Matthew 17:20) You ARE a faithful servant. Do not doubt yourself.”
This, I say to you: My God is an AWESOME God! If you don’t know him like I do, I sure do wish you would…
