i would like to take a moment of your time...actually...since you've already made the decision to waste your time reading my blog...to ask you to take a step of faith and pray for some people. first off...YES i want you to take a step of faith in prayer. because what i want your prayer to be for is something that you may never see...at leaste on this earth. God has graced the country of Asia with some outstanding missionaries. and they are who i would like you to pray for. the Lord has given me a thristy curiosity for those missionaries. there lives and what they've sacrificed to spread God's word in a place where Satan is thriving.

in Pakistan...Esther Bibi(not her real name)...was called by God to build Brick Kilns.she along with a pastor started up a church of 10 families, that met with her at her brick kiln...which was also her home. Many times she was warned by the kiln owner to stop having meetings. she refused evetytime. one day, he stormed into a meeting, slapped her face and told everyone to leave. she tol him that the muslims, who were mostly students, came willingly and voluntarily. he warned her, and two months later he crashed in again. this time he abducted her, raped and beat her. despite this, she is steadfast in her faith and she will continue to share Christ with the Pakistani people.

That is just one servant of God. there are so many. each with his own story. it amazes me. so, alls i ask you is if you could take at the leaste five minutes in prayer for these faithful servants.

thanks.

After the night, there's always a morning.
The shadows seem to just slipp away.
What once was fear, now was a listless dream,
Of demons and dark things and things not of the day.
Even in the darkness, the Lord waits for me.
Always shining, awaiting my plea.
Oh Lord guard my night as well as my day.
K eep it for you.
Feeling the night, just breath it in.
Taste the dark forcess creeping within.
There laughter echoes acroos...
waiting for the heart to stop.
But God awaits with them, in every corner.
Ready to defend and mark me as His.

CINNAMON-SPICE OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES Makes about 4 dozen
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1
teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
Pinch of salt
8 ounces unsalted butter, at room temperature, cut into small pieces
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup light brown sugar
2 eggs
2 cups quick-cooking (not instant) rolled oats
2 cups seedless raisins
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped walnuts

In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, allspice and salt. Set aside. In the large bowl of an electric mixer, using the paddle or beaters, or in a large mixing bowl using a hand-held electric mixer, beat the butter at medium speed just until soft and smooth. Add the granulated and brown sugars and continue beating; once the sugars are incorporated, raise the speed to high and continue to beat for several minutes until the mixture looks fluffy, stopping the machine from time to time to scrape down the side of the bowl and under the beaters if necessary with a rubber spatula. Reduce the speed to medium and, one at a time, add the eggs, beating just until smoothly combined. Add the flour mixture and beat at medium speed just until combined. Add the oats, raisins and walnuts and beat just until combined. On the kitchen counter, place a sheet of plastic wrap large enough to completely enclose the cookie dough. With the spatula, scrape the dough from the bowl onto the plastic wrap. Seal the wrap around the dough and refrigerate at least 2 to 3 hours or preferably overnight. Position the oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees and then line 1 or 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Remove the dough from the refrigerator. With your fingers, pinch off golf ball-sized pieces of dough and roll them between your palms until round, then put them on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake a sheet at a time until the cookies are slightly firm to the touch, 13 to 15 minutes, rotating the sheet after 7 to 8 minutes to ensure even baking. With a wide metal spatula, transfer the baked cookies to a wire rack to cool. If reusing the baking sheet, let it cool slightly before placing more balls of dough on it. Once the cookies have cooled, store in an airtight container at room temperature.

i challenge someone to make those!!! for st. patrick days!!!! :)

well, tonight, homegroup was awesome. :) the Lord was challenging me with some things, and showing me new things, and making me realize things...but...as always, i cannot rightly remember what they are. someday one of those thoughts will spring up in my mind...but as of now, i think the Lord was only bringing them to my attention.
