It is my birthday!  About 7 years ago my grandson who is 13 told me I was “lucky to be alive” when he found out how old I was at the time.  He laughs now when I kid him about this.  He says he was a little boy then.  I still love his demonstration of childhood thinking and the freedom to express it.

Last night I had two of the most troubling phone calls from the Aslan group.  I am totally stunned by the thinking and absurdity of a couple members.  The situations of this journey I’m on presently leaves me thinking I’m totally on the wrong track and I need to shift quickly.  However, God is staying my actions.  He keeps telling me He is doing His work and He wants me to be ready to respond with my part.  I wish I could be specific with the details, but that would be too much like gossip.  This great group developing to support sex-trafficked girls is in need of prayer.  Satan is certainly not wanting it to move forward.  Splitting it down the middle is exactly what he’s trying to do and last night it was about to happen.  I’m hoping I was able to stop the process for now.

Today we are taking a drive into the mountains and enjoying time with friends who are there for the weekend.  We will go for the day and I need to go pick raspberries before we can leave!  I am lucky to be alive and most lucky to be free to live my life totally for God’s purpose in my life.  I want to forever praise Him!
