Here it is...about 3 posts in one, from Christmas until now in a brief summary!! :) These are pictures of life on the everyday level for us, and not nearly enough of our sweetest Abigail! Also Jesse will have his say about prayer that I thought was fitting, God has blessed me with a God fearing husband and leader. I love you Jesse Alexander ;)
Proverbs 28:1
The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.
Ephesians 6:18
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the spririt and watching thereunto with all perserverance and suplication for all the saints;
Challenge your self everyday to go into the woods, the closet, your vehicle, any where private and pray, get away for just a little while by yourself and pray to the Lord.
I was listening to a sermon yesterday in the cab of the tractor when i heard this, but this elder said "The disciples never asked Christ how to cast out demons or heal the sick, but they besought Him saying "teach us to pray" Luke 11:1-4. I am blessed with theopportunity to steal away and pray with no interruption.
