PRAISE GOD!

THIS IS ANSWER TO PRAYER IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE.

I felt particularly led to be specific about him being found before noon. BTW, I'm in Farmington, NM (MST).

And I fussed a bit as I did it sort of feeling, Lord, you KNOW I'm not really up to making a bigger fool of myself and you just now--I don't know how I'll handle unanswered prayer about this. But I still felt fairly strongly to go ahead and word it that way and trust that ya'll's faith would fill in the gaps in mine.

Soooooooooooooo, I sure needed this encouragement!

AND AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SUPER BLESSED HE'S BEEN FOUND. THANK YOU, JESUS.

And, this afternoon, some more answer to prayer regarding the President et al that I'm not free to get very specific about. Let's just say, our prayers are being answered about God having an impact on our leaders in high places. And now is certainly not the time to quit praying about that as the enemy of our souls is not happy God is having such impact.

All this from a missionary who's lived in a Moslem country for 7 years and said there's NOT ANY PEACEFUL SIDE to Islam.

Anyway--Let us all be encouraged in The Lord.

BTW, I feel/believe that this lad, Kylan, has God's hand very heavily on him for some purpose. If his parents don't know that, they'd better tune in and get with the program--and be very careful to rear him in the Love and reverential awe of The Lord. I will continue to pray for him.

--I don't know how I'll handle unanswered prayer about this.

That post really heartened me. Yesterday evening after feeling so much anxiety I just got the most peaceful feeling, it was so obvious that I said it out loud to my husband, son and daughter-in-law. Then I started to doubt.

The story is so weird and wonderful. They had over 100 people, on foot, horseback, and vehicle combing the area. The dogs could only track him to the camp of the people who had left and the searchers were beginning to believe that he had definitely been kidnapped. My husband left home at 4:00 AM but didn't get up there until about 9:00 because he had to go catch horses, load tack and feed and he was getting frustrated. They kept their eyes peeled as they drove to the camp looking for any sign but they didn't see anything.

When they got to the camp the guys who were with him got the police to let them examine the tire tracks at the suspicious camp because they are tire men and could tell what tires they had by the tread and then my husband and one of them decided that they were going to go check sideroads and look for the track. He talked to the mother and it just broke his heart and then "John" talked to him and said he was just going to drive south. He drove for 3 miles down the road that dozens of vehicles had used that morning and then he gave up, turned around and headed back. He found him sitting at the side of the road 9/10s of a mile from camp. My husband was headed out about a 1/4 mile from the camp when he drove up and he stopped and said "I found the little shit" (My husband said that he was acting non-chalant to keep from crying) My husband leaned over and looked at him and the boy pointed out the window and talked some baby talk. His face was dirty and it was obvious that he had cried at some time but he was doing great. His coat was fastened and he still had his shoes on.

This is the funny part. He is a twin and the guy with my husband looked at him and wondered out loud if he was the right twin. And "John" said "He's got to be, I found him a mile down the road and the other one is in camp" He knew he had the right kid but that slight doubt had set in and they were pointing out the differences of the boys and my husband finally said "Take him to his mother, she'll know!"

Needless to say his mother was so overjoyed the EMTs had to pry him out of her arms.

As of this afternoon the police weren't ready to say that he hadn't been kidnapped and they are still investigating.

So thank God for answering all our prayers and thank you for adding to those prayers and thank you for that particular post because I kept holding on to it.

BLESS U TONS FOR SAYING WHAT YOU DID.

Friday or Saturday my step-dad responded to an update I'd sent him by email--because I'd wanted him to ponder and pray about the items before responding.

Wellllll, he kind of read me the riot act for using email because it was "like little girls passing notes back and forth."

This was a small thing but his tone and attitude just did me in for some list of reasons. And, he hadn't wanted me to go with my aunt and uncle to see relatives in Texas I haven't seen in decades.

In any case, it was mostly his tone and attitude about the communications--and realizing more deeply than before, therefrom that at 80 years old, there's really little chance I'm going to get him to change his mind or perspective on anything he feels strongly about unless I have many tankers full of evidence that relates to his life experiences.

And mostly I've tried to avoid even disappointing him, much less disagreeing with him about much of anything. And I've avoided asking more than very bare minimums from him.

Anyway--the bleak feelings about communicating with him just brought back a lot of bleak feelings about what Andrew Peterson in his THUNDER AND LOVE CD calls The Silence of God in a song by that name--TREMENDOUS CD BTW.

And I just felt like running away from home at age 56 and heading for the woods and never coming out until Jesus killed me or raptured me or whatever He'd do with me. But I knew there wasn't a cave deep enough so I was stuck still in this very tight, narrow vise I've been in so long--other wise called one of God's fiery furnaces.

So, I hadn't crawled out of that hole/pity party/whatever and here comes the prayer req for Kylan. And I really wasn't in the mood to pray for much of anyone--almost particularly anyone on FR because of all the flack I tend to generate hereon.

But his story and your caring touched my heart deeply and I could do no less than give it a shot.

So then comes this rise up in my spirit of Holy Spirit saying I should pray specifically that he be found before noon the next say. And I'm going, yeah, right--another set-up for disappointment--no thanks.

But the sense would not leave and I would have had no peace except to pray as I felt Holy Spirit pressing me to do. And, to trust that there'd be enough agreement with the rest of you folks to cover my raging lack and fractured faith.

And when I went to bed last night, I was disgruntled enough, I didn't care if I went to church this morning. I go to 3 services on Sunday usually so I just did not set my alarm and told God if He wanted me at the morning service, He could wake me up in time.

Welllll, I wake up at whatever time . . . pray extensively . . . and get up and check FR & email--Then about time to leave for church, step-dad asks me when I'm leaving for church. And I realize I could still make the 10:30 service. So I go.

Wellllll, one of the visiting spiritual leaders in the association the pastor/church are a part of--is the fellow involved with ministering/realting to/doing projects for various uhhhhh well connected people. And his testimony just really touched me deeply enough I cried and cried because what he was sharing was evidence of God so clearly answering a lot of prayers I'd prayed.

He spoke of assassinations around the world being warned about and prevented by God etc. It really touched my heart that God was still in His Heaven, still did hear our prayers etc.

Then I get home after the 14:00 service and see that Kylan has been found.

And I'm even more blessed this evening because the same visiting spiritual leader mentioned above "DB" [I'd never met him but I think I was on his newsletter email list for a while) anyway--the fellow's clearly anointed and he calls those of us up tonight who met a certain criteria for roles/callings as intercessors and certain other roles--and proceeds to confirm all over again some destiny stuff God has been telling me through a variety of people for 30+ years. And this time, I FELT THE ANOINTING more heavily than maybe in 20+ years and for the first time in a long time.

And I get home and read your blessed message--soooooo I'm doing much better.

A long narrative to say thanks and let you know that God still works His will in mysterious ways and gets lots of mileage out of all kinds of situations working good for those who love Him.

Blessings to you and all involved.

THANKS FOR YOUR KIND MESSAGES.

Isn't it amazing that even when we try to, we can't limit God. That He can answer one prayer in ways that have many consequences and He knows them all. He is a wondrous God and I can never thank Him enough! Alleluia!!!

LONG NARRATIVE RE

2 YR OLD KYLANS LOSS AND RECOVERY AND HOW GOD USED HIS ANSWERING OUR PRAYERS TO BLESS ME.

. . . as well as some comments about government that you could add your prayers too.

There were things said about the courts that had best be vaguely commented on, if at all. But I would say that God is keenly interested in the courts as some of us knew. He reportedly is very intent, serious and in the process of moving to change things in the courts.

BUT WE NEED TO PRAY THAT THE LOGJAM fostered by satan and his forces will be broken.

Most of the State legislatures now are PRO-LIFE. But there's plenty of work to be done. And intercessory prayer is the most effective of the plentitude of hard work needed.

Blessings and tons of thanks for all your faithful praying for so many needs and issues.

I always value your thoughts and opinions, Quix. You are a voice of reason in an unreasonable world. Keep seeking God in all you do. He'll take care of the problem with your dad and others you love. You are loved. Maryxxx

[Quix]

PRAISE GOD, MARY, THANKS TONS.

I remember you and the physical healing needs etc. also.

As to voice of reason--only by God's grace and you know many hereon would strongly disagree. Tee hee.

I'll send you some FREEPMAIL with a bit more detail from last night. I think you can be encouraged, too.

LUB,
