Chris has a new favorite saying, “we are those people” he says with a laugh. It seems like all we now talk about it God, Jesus & spiritual issues. We had a great weekend. We were ready to venture out again and we really needed some groceries! Saturday we went to the Christian bookstore, ate at Chili’s , took the kids to their favorite place, Books a Million and Kroger (not their favorite place ;) While at Books a Million we looked at a lot of Christian literature. I wanted to buy almost every book I picked up but I could not do that. I did order Three books we looked at over Amazon that evening when we got home and I got them a lot cheaper, 3 books with free shipping $27.
Sunday was Church day! We had a great Sunday School lesson over tithes, a great sermon then we went out to lunch with some of friends from Church. Sunday night Church was GREAT! The Lord is really moving at Amity FBC! We are so thankful to have a great body of believers we get to be a part of! All Christians should be part of a Church body! Watching it on TV is great, but you need the fellowship with other believers! Why? Mainly because Gods word tells us to! Also I tell you that two of you on earth agree about something and pray for it, it will be done for you by my Father in Heaven. This is true because if two of three people come together in my name, I am there with them. Matthew 18: 19-20
We all have spiritual gifts that we should use in the Church Body! The eye can not say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” and the head cannot say to the foot “I don’t need you!” Together you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of that body. 1 Corinthians 12: 21 & 27
Chris has been feeling pretty good. He did fall down Thursday, he just could not recover his balance. Sometimes his speech is slurred and sometimes it is fine. We are just patiently waiting on God’s perfect timing to take this affliction from him! The Lord hears good people when they cry out to him, and he saves them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, and he saves those who’s spirits have been crushed. People who do what is right may have many problems, but the LORD will solve them all. Psalm 34: 17-19
We are staying totally positive and we know the Lord is working! It is so much easier to talk to others that have a positive mind set. There is no need for negativity. We decide how we view our glass, half empty or half full. For us, it will always be half full. We are really trying to get our daughter to understand that. Choose to be in a good mood, always choose to be happy. Bad things are going to happed, its inevitable but we choose how we deal with them. A pessimist see the difficulty in every opportunity, an optimist see the opportunity in every difficulty. ~Winston Churchill and I had to add this one: A positive attitude may not solve all your problems but it will annoy enough people to be worth the effort! LOL If you are happy and smiling all the time people are going to be able to tell there is something different about you!
That brings me to JOY! As Christians we can always be joyful no matter what our circumstances. Does that mean Christians are always happy and never have bad things happen to them? No! It means we know our Holy Father, and we have no reason to “sweat the small stuff.” God is in control today just like he is and has been everyday. We can find great Joy in that! But let all those who take refuge and put their trust in You rejoice; let them ever sing and shout for joy, because You make a covering over them and defend them; let those also who love Your name be joyful in You and be in high spirits. Psalm 5:11 I continue to thank Holy God that we know him and we can be joyful even in a time when we gotten terrible news. If we would have turned inward to ourselves and not outward to God, how miserable we would be.
Thank you all for continuing to pray for my precious husband and our family! It means so much to us and we know those prayers are working! If you have a prayer request, contact me, autumn_Fagan@yahoo.com we would love to pray for you!
We received some more info on the Fundraiser T-shirt that are being printed up. They will be $15 and they will be a bright blue color! On the front they will say Fagan Friends in Faith and I love the scripture that is going to be on the back, Be joyful because you have hope. Be patient when trouble comes, and pray at all times. Romans 12:12 They will be available in all sizes. I will post a proof of the shirt as soon as I get one.
May GOD Bless each and everyone of you!
