PRAISE GOD!!! Another answered prayer!

PRAISE GOD!!! This is a picture of the back of my mom's home. They returned home from a trip just two short days ago. As you can see the fire that was at their home, stopped JUST SHORT of their actual house. They lost a barn or two at the back of their property.....but their home was spared.....a little smoky......but spared. PRAISE GOD! Now for.......the rest of the story.
I had been to church on Wednesday, December 19, 2007, that night. (Clay was unable to go with me because they were busy in the cotton fields.) It was an exceptional service....as always. When I got home (Clay still wasn't there), I heard a LOT of sirens......only there were none in the natural. I was hearing them with my spiritual ears......so I asked the Lord, "What is this?" All I heard God say was to begin to intercede.....even though I didn't know what for. So, I began to pray in the spirit, and sat there in my driveway for a short time interceeding in the spirit. (Let me add what my pastor had blogged on the church's blog spot just earlier this same day: ." Heavenly Father, grant us the spiritual eyesight, hearing and sensitivity to be aware and acknowledge Your glory that fills the whole earth!! and for us to allow Your Holy Spirit to use us!" Blessings, Pastor Gwen.....

I got up this morning (Thursday, December 20, 2007), got ready for work, had a CHRISTmas luncheon and party, received my 5 year service recognition pin, and when I got to my car, noticed that I had several missed calls from my brother and my mom. So, I called my mom, and found out that there was a fire at her home. I called my boss ,and headed to my mom's home. The picture below is what I found. It was still smoldering when I arrived, and the awesome volunteer fire department was still busy at their jobs doing an OUTSTANDING job, too! The awesome thing is, my mom and step-dad had been away for a month or so, and as you know, old, small garden tractors don't hold charges well when just sitting. Well, LAST NIGHT, they felt impressed to plug it in to charge the battery, in case they wanted to do a little "yard work" today. When they got the call about the fire, they were headed into Sam's Warehouse, and came straight home. Their barns were engulfed in flames, the firemen already hard at work, and my step-dad was able to go and fire up that old garden tractor and unload the old hay that was smoldering in their barns. Had that little tractor not been "charged" they wouldn't have been able to do this, the fire would have grown much larger, and their home probably would be gone. GO GOD! Isn't it amazing how BIG and how our God works!!! Even their pets were fine. Another PRAISE GOD of the day, they had a small OLD riding lawn mower, that they had been needing to haul off (they have a newer one that works)....well, one of the Volunteer Fire Fighters offered to buy it off of them when he saw it (he repairs them), and returned about 30 minutes after they got the fire out with a trailor to load it up, and handed my mom a crisp $100 bill! WOW! Another miracle. Ain't God good!?!!!!!!!!! He NEVER ceases to amaze me! GO GOD! Clay has his scope in the morning, and our baby, Ambs, flies in from Washington DC, so keep them both in your prayers. We love you all!
Have a super-blessed and supernatural weekend.......mine is already that way. GO GOD!!!

God's love & mine,
