Wayne had knee replacement surgery last week and he has done wonderful, Thank You Jesus!
I woke up a couple of days ago sick with the flu. Lori and her girls have been sick and so has Sharon and the girls. All this has been weighing heavily on me. Things can't get any worse, right? Wrong!
Dustin got transferred to a prison three hours away and it makes me so worried for him. The enemy TRIED, i did say tried to play with my mind and put fear on me, then i remembered something wonderful.................. God has NOT given me the spirit of fear and He will take care of Dustin no matter where he goes. What a relief, knowing His Dad has him.
We haven't seen Dustin since January and miss him so much. We were hoping to see him within the next week or two. We sent our applications in and are waiting for approval. I called today and found out that it takes 2 months to be approved.......the bottom TRIED to drop out again. I felt physically ill when the phone rang. A dear friend (Rob) called to see how we were doing. I am usually a very upbeat person. I had just gotten the worse news i could imagine when he called. I answered and he said Georgi? I said oh hi Rob. He said what is wrong, is it about Dustin? I told him what i had heard and he let me know he and Angie would be praying for us. We hung up. The phone then rang again and it was Dustin calling. When i heard his voice i just cried and cried. He kept saying Nana are you okay? He must have thought wayne died during surgery or something. He sounded good and very strong in the Lord, I knew prayers were going up for us. when we hung up the doorbell rang...it was Rob. He said he just felt led to come and pray with us. oh my goodness, God is so good!!! I want to thank God now for all the friends he has placed in my life. Thank you Rob.... Now you think that is it for the bad and good stuff right? what more could happen?
i received an email from another dear dear friend that hears God. she said she had listened to kim clement and was listening to the cd coming home from work and had to repeat it twice to be sure of what he said : "some of you out there have a loved one behind bars and I tell you this, God is going to use them to roll back the gates of hell" .( When i read this i just lost it completely.)
I desire to have Him just take all of my flesh and Him just flow through me... This is a tough walk for :"God's Kids" all of us at this time.. He is purging us so he can flow through us freely.. and He is taking the most precious to our hearts and doing this, but at the same time He also is working on Dustin. Thank you Charlotte.
