This is a GOOD day in America!
In the midst of all the politics on Capitol Hill and the debt ceiling crisis, this country needs a little bit of good news!
As I watched the news, I had goose-bumps all over! The day I have prayed for almost 7 months came to pass! Gabrielle Giffords has walked back onto the floor of Congress! One week less than 7 months ago, this lady was attacked senselessly and shot in the head. While it was first reported that she had died from the attack, thankfully, she did not!
I started this prayer blog as a way to deal with my emotions with the tragedy.
From the very moment this tragedy was reported, many people put a spin on the story, blaming the Tea Party for the attack.
The man that did this, from all accounts, was actually apolitical. While he had previous contact with Congresswoman Giffords, he was not a politically active person. Politics were not his motivation. Plain and simple, this man was a monster.
ALL blame should be left where it lies- with Jared Loughner.
This is not about politics. This is about a life- a beautiful life that was spared by God Almighty.
Thank You, Jesus, for healing Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. Though I am sure she still has a long road of recovery ahead of her, her life is indeed a miracle! Thank You for sparing her life! All glory and honor belong to You, Lord God!

AMERICA CELEBRATES
There have been several events to happen since I last blogged.
Congresswoman Giffords was seen walking on her own! All praise and glory be to Jesus Christ our Lord!
She was boarding an airplane headed to Florida to watch her husband's last space flight ascend into the heavens. Sadly, all did not go as planned with the shuttle launch, and it appears that it will not happen until at least May 10. Thankfully whatever was wrong was found so that it could be repaired. The last thing our nation needs right now is another space shuttle tragedy!
To see her board that plane on her own was miraculous! I am sure most all of us remember just a few months ago how unsure we were if she would survive this tragedy. Tragedy turns to triumph in the life of Gabrielle Giffords! Oh, the battle is not over for her, but she has made remarkable recovery! Her life truly is a miracle to behold!
The other big news since I've blogged is the death of Osama bin Laden by our military! Lord, forgive me for rejoicing in his death. I honestly do not know if it is a sin to rejoice over his death. If it is, I truly pray that God will forgive me. However, I know that God specifically commanded the Israelites to kill their enemies in the Old Testament. Sadly, I highly doubt that Osama bin Laden found Truth and Salvation in Jesus Christ before he was killed.
This man was evil incarnate. He orchestrated the deaths of thousands of people! Not only was he the mastermind behind the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center, but he was also behind the bombings of the very same location in 1993.
He lived to terrorize those who did not believe as he did. Justice has been served.
Today I pray for his family. I pray that somehow, some way, they will see that they are being lied to by a religion that teaches hate and terror to those who believe differently than them. Whether or not the moderates of the Muslim religion are just "backsliders", so to speak, or not, I cannot honestly say. But the extremists who seek jihad must not be allowed to terrorize the world. Their actions bring consequences just as all of our actions do.
There was literally Dancing In The Streets in America on Sunday night when it was announced that Osama bin Laden has been killed.
That night President Obama addressed the nation, and the world, to give the official word that Osama bin Laden was dead. This is the first time I truly saw our President behave presidential! The speech he gave was the best speech he's delivered to date! Thank you, Mr. President!
Thank you, President Bush, for sticking to your guns and doing what was right no matter what the critics said. You were right on September 14, 2001, when you said:
"I can hear you! I can hear you! The rest of the world hears you! And the people -- and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon!"
They DID hear us! Osama bin Laden most definitely heard all of us, and the rest of the world heard all of us as well!
To the true heroes who made this happen- The United States Military! May God bless each and every one of you! This would not have happened without your sacrifice, training, courage, conviction and commitment to bring justice to the families and friends of all who were lost on September 11, 2001. I pray for your continued safety. The fight is not over by any means!
Lord God, I continue to pray for this nation. She so desperately needs You but refused to acknowledge where she is wrong! Even in our celebration of the good things there is much division.
I continue to pray for Congresswoman Giffords. Please forgive me for not posting daily prayers for her as I had been previously. Though I am not posting daily, I still pray for her daily! I continue to pray for her husband, Mark Kelly, in the preparation for the final space mission. I pray for his and the entire crew's safety and wisdom.
I pray for President Obama. Keep him safe, as his life has been threatened by many throughout the world since the killing of terrorist Osama bin Laden. I pray for wisdom for President Obama. Already there are many discrepancies and changed decisions. Lord God, help him to make a decision and stick to it, no matter what the media says. Please help him to see that We The People need him to be a leader! He made the decision, I personally support him in the decision. I pray that he will not allow this to turn into more of a circus than it is threatening to be. He had to make a tough decision. He made it.
I pray that our military will be successful in weeding out even more terrorists using the information they obtained in the raid.
Lord God, please be with us and keep us. We truly need Your mercy, though we do not deserve it.
I pray all of these things in Jesus Name- Amen.

GOOD FRIDAY
Once again.... like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives. And unfortunately, there is just not enough sand in the hourglass each day!
I really need to talk to God about adding a few hours to each day. But then again, I probably still wouldn't sleep, I would just fill those added hours with more things that I need to get done.
My life has taken a drastic turn in the last month. God has provided me with an opportunity that is a life long dream.
I love to write! I write about anything and everything. And now, I am a staff writer for ConservativeDailyNews.com. The name is self-explanatory.
I am having the time of my life!
With this addition in my life, I am still writing, I just do not make it here to write as often as I had previously.
For anyone who has kept up with this blog, I still continue to pray daily for Congresswoman Giffords and her husband; for this country; for our President; and for the nation and people of Israel.
I pray that you will join me on the other site. With the news that is happening on almost an hourly basis, you will never be lacking for something to read!
Lord God, I pray for Congresswoman Giffords and her husband. I pray that You will continue to keep them in the safety of Your loving arms.
Today is Good Friday. I am so thankful for your sacrifice for our salvation. I pray that You will use me to reflect Your light of salvation to the world.
I pray these things in Jesus Name- Amen.

I WOULD RATHER LIVE MY LIFE
"I would rather live my life as if there is a God, and die to find out there isn't, than live my life
as if there isn't, and die to find out there is."
This is a quote that I received in an email today. I find it interesting that it came today. But, for me, it just proves that God is very involved in our lives and knows how to affirm us if we allow Him to.
Last night I had dinner with two of my friends. On the way to the restaurant I was relishing in one of the rare moments of alone time with God. It's very difficult to find alone time when you have 5 kids- one of them being a 3-year-old.
The CD playing in the car was a compilation disc that I play quite often in the car. It is a variety of Petra songs.
My favorite Petra song is "Adonai". As I drove down the highway, singing along with the music, I began to visualize my Master speaking everything into existence. My minds eye saw Him speak the stars into existence, His majestic hand reaching out to place each star in its specific place. I saw Him become playful, smiling, because He "saw that it was good."
One of my favorite ways to worship God is in nature. No, I do not worship nature itself, but I smile because I see that "it is good". Adonai alone is worthy of my praise and worship.
All of nature cries out to Him. All things were made to worship God Almighty. It is such an honor and pleasure to me to know Him and worship Him.
When I read the quote that I opened with today it fit so perfect with my thoughts. I know that I am not wrong in my beliefs. I know without a shadow of a doubt that God IS real. I know that He alone created the heavens and the earth and all that is within, above and below. However, in the minuscule "chance" that I am wrong, I would much rather worship God in my life, and find out in my death that He does not exist than not worship Him and believe in Him in my life and find out in my death that He DOES exist.
Each of us are given a choice. I cannot make anyone believe in my Creator. My heart aches for those who do not believe in Him and know Him as their Savior. But we are all given free will.
Lord God, how I pray for those who do not know You. I truly cannot imagine my life without You. My Adonai, You are the Master of the earth and sky. You alone are worthy.
I continue to pray for Congresswoman Giffords. I cannot wait for the day she walks back onto the floor of Congress. What a day of rejoicing that will be!
I pray for this nation. Lord God, we need You desperately. I pray that hearts will be humbled before You. I pray that this nation will repent of her sins. I pray for our President. I pray for all elected leaders, that each of them will be safe. Protect them from harm. Humble each of them before You, that they will turn their eyes upon You and seek Your will for this country.
I pray for Israel. The entire world is coming against her. I know it is prophesied and will happen. I know You are in control. But I pray for Your chosen people.
I pray all of these things in the precious Name of Jesus Christ- Amen.

A VERY PRODUCTIVE DAY
Lord God, I thank You for the productiveness of this day. You have given me an opportunity and avenue to truly begin the fight my heart is so passionate about. I pray that You will pave the way in all that I do. May all that I do, all that I say, all that I accomplish bring honor and glory to Your Name.
I pray for Congresswoman Giffords. Protect her and keep her. I pray that she had a productive day as well.
I pray for this nation. I pray for our President. It is the same prayer I pray consistently.
I continue to pray for the nation and people of Israel. Protect them and keep them safe.
I pray all these things in the precious Name of Your Son Jesus Christ- Amen.

THERE COMES A POINT IN YOUR LIFE
It's been several days since I've blogged here. Life just gets so crazy busy! Sometimes I think that in our modern world with the latest technology we have lost so much. We have things so much easier now, with the latest gadget or tool at our fingertips, yet we have so little time to enjoy the things that truly matter.
I received an email from my brother today that I feel is worth sharing. It's one of those "forwards", yet this one hit a spot in my heart. So tonight, I will dwell on the thoughts from his email.
'To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.'
When God takes something from your grasp, He’s not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better.
'The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.'
There comes a point in your life when you realize:
Who matters,
who never did,
who won't anymore...
And who always will.
So, don't worry about people from your past,
there's a reason why they didn’t make it to your future.
This encompasses a lot of things for me. In fact, for a person that usually has an abundance of words, there are really no other words that I can add.
If you are reading this, I challenge you to think on the words above. You have to get to that point in your life where you realize what truly is important. If you have not gotten to that point yet, I challenge you to make that a goal for 2011.
For me, I most definitely have gotten to the point in my life where I realize who and what is important. In fact, today I had the most beautiful reminder of the important things. If you would like to read that story, you can read it here: It's The Simple Things In Life
Lord God, though I have not blogged in several days you know that I have continuously prayed for the things that burden my heart.
I pray for Congresswoman Giffords. I pray that You will continue to heal her body, soul, mind and heart. Help her to forgive the man who created this tragedy in her life. Help her to cling to You for comfort, peace and healing. I pray for her husband, Mark Kelly. Keep him safe on his shuttle mission.
I pray for this nation. My heart aches for this nation who has turned her back on You. Lord God, humble her. Bring her back to You. I pray that she will rise up and fall to her knees in repentance before You.
I pray for President Obama. I pray that he will humble himself before You. He and his czars and other members of his administrative team are destroying this nation.
I pray for the nation of Israel who is once again under attack by gunfire and mortar and bombs. Protect her and keep her safe in the shadow of You, Almighty God.
I pray all of these things in the precious, holy Name of Your Son Jesus Christ- Amen.

NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT
We all make plans. Endless plans. Tomorrow I will..... next week I will...... next month I will...... next year I will. The fact of the matter is none of us know what the next moment holds, much less the next day, the next month or the next year.
Are there people in your life that have forgotten how you feel about them? Is there someone in your life that may doubt your love for them? Have you left something unsettled between you and someone?
Almost 10 years ago my life changed in an instant. I've written here about it before. It was the night my first husband took his own life.
For many years I was tormented by the things that were left unsaid. I was haunted by the things that had been said but never been made right.
Thankfully, I now have peace with all that is involved with this death. However, I went through many years of turmoil in just dealing with the emotions of the event, not to mention the things that were left unsettled.
You do not know what tomorrow holds. There is no time like the present to make things right. No matter what it is, no matter who it is with... make sure those you love know that you love them. You just never know what tomorrow may bring.
Lord God, I pray for peace in the lives of those who read this who may be in turmoil. I pray that You will be the Peace that passes all understanding to their soul.
I pray for this nation. I pray for our president. I pray that as a nation we will humble ourselves before You.
I pray for Congresswoman Giffords. She, more than most of us, realize the truth to the statement "there is no time like the present." I praise You for sparing her life. I pray You will use her life mightily for Your glory and honor.
I pray for the nation and people of Israel. I pray that You will keep her safe. Guide her and protect her.
I pray these things in the precious Name of Jesus- Amen.

RESTING IN HIM
Lord, tonight all I want to do is just rest in You. Every day it seems as though things become more and more tumultuous in this nation as well as around the world. While nothing major happened today, there are several news articles that have the rumblings of another shoe dropping before long. Sometimes it just becomes too much to think about.
I pray that You will help me to make a difference in all that I do.
I pray for Congresswoman Giffords. Every new news article that comes out now is more good news. I praise You for all that You continue to do in her life. Protect her and keep her. Continue to help her grow in strength.
I pray for President Obama and the other elected leaders of this nation. I pray for the people of this nation. I pray that they will humble themselves before You.
I continue to pray for Israel. Shelter her in the shadow of your wing. Help her to draw near to You.
I pray these things in the Name of Jesus Christ- Amen.

NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY, EVERYTHING EXTRAORDINARY
My husband and I went out to dinner tonight with two other couple friends of ours. It is a very rare night that we are able to have a date night on a Saturday night.
We had a very good evening, laughing and just hanging out.
As we left to pick up the kids, walking back to the car, my husband and I held hands. Now, this is really nothing unusual for us. We hold hands all the time. What is unusual is that we were holding hands and it was just the two of us. Most of the time we have all five kids bouncing around us chattering as we go. Or, we will be holding hands in the car, the children chattering in the backseat.
It was a moment in time that I will cherish. Nothing out of the ordinary, yet everything extraordinary! I am truly blessed in more ways than I can count!
Lord God, thank You for the abundant blessings in my life! My heart overflows with gratitude!
I pray for Congresswoman Giffords. Please continue to heal her.
I pray these things in the Name of Jesus Christ- Amen.

ONE DAY
"Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." Philippians 2:9-11 (NIV)
One day, every knee WILL bow, and every tongue WILL confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. For me, it will be the most awaited day of all of my life. To be at the feet of my Jesus, loving Him, honoring Him, praising Him. For others, it will not be such a glorious day. I pray for these people.
I do not believe that these people have long to wait. I am so excited for that! Daily, the news points to that coming day when this scripture will come true:
"I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will rule them with an iron scepter." He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS."
Revelation 19:11-16
Oh Glorious Day!
People get ready! Jesus is coming! He is not willing that any should perish!
Lord, every day time grows shorter and shorter. While people have been saying this for thousands of years, and it still may be a long time in our view, we never know when we will breathe our last breath. I pray that You will open blinded eyes and soften hardened hearts.
I continue to pray for Congresswoman Giffords. I read a tweet today saying that she may run for Senate. Nothing has come out officially, but if this is even being discussed then it appears as though things are looking absolutely amazing for her! All glory, honor and praise be to You, Jesus, for the miracle in her life. I also continue to pray that the man that acted out this heinous attack will be given justice. Please do not allow political correctness to prevent justice in this.
I pray for President Obama. Lord, I get so angry! Please help me to not sin in my anger, where it concerns the man that is our president. I continue to pray that he will humble his heart before You, Jesus.
I pray for this nation. I pray that people will wake up and stand up for what is right. I believe many people have, but there are still too many who are complacent.
I pray for the nation of Israel. Protect her and bless her beyond measure.
I praise You for the mighty work You have done in my life. If it were not for my faith in You, I do not believe I would be alive today. Thank You for never giving up on me!
I pray all of these things in the precious Name of my Savior Jesus Christ- Amen.
One day, every knee WILL bow, and every tongue WILL confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. For me, it will be the most awaited day of all of my life. To be at the feet of my Jesus, loving Him, honoring Him, praising Him. For others, it will not be such a glorious day. I pray for these people.
