Hallelujah!

You know, call me crazy, but I'm feeling a little better about getting on a plane :))

The pictures as promised...

Here are the two items I am adding to my Ark :))

These two pair of pjs came as a set. How cute are they?!

And the bottom half of this little dress is "satin-y".

Like I've said before, all these items are on clearance :) These were a little more expensive than those I had purchased before, BUT, I couldn't resist :)

My little commentary...

Even though people laughed and mocked Noah, he kept building, for he knew that GOD had something in store. He knew he must keep his faith, and build this ark even when the lands were dry and no rain was in sight.

Continuing to build my ark...

So, how about the other day I saw THE cutest little dress for a little girl at Target, and THE cutest footsie pajamas for a little baby boy. And they were on clearance. Yep, you know what I did. I bought it for my Ark. And if you haven't read that post, here it is http://nataligw.blogspot.com/2009/09/i-have-been-thinking-all-week-about.html . I'll post pictures later tonight. I don't buy stuff often, just when I feel that I need to keep building for what is coming :)

You, GOD, make me want to be brave...

"So long status quo, I think I just let go. You make me wanna be brave." -- Nichole Nordeman "Brave".

Speaking to the orphaned/widowed, "Your courage asks me what I'm afraid of, and what I know of love." -- Sarah Groves "I Saw What I Saw"

"You walk with me through fire..." Kari Jobe "Healer"

"If GOD hadn't been for us - all together now, Israel, sing out! - If GOD hasn't been for us when everyone went against us, we would have been swallowed alive by their violent anger. Swept away by the flood of rage, drowned in the torrent; we would have lost our lives in the wild, raging water. Oh, blessed be GOD! He didn't go off and leave us. He didn't abandon us defenseless, helpless as a rabbit in a pack of snarling dogs. We've flown free from their fangs, free of their traps, free as a bird. Their grip is broken; we're free as a bird in flight. GOD's strong name is our help, the same GOD who made heaven and earth."
Psalm 124 [The Message version]

joshua 1:9

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your GOD will be with you wherever you go..." Joshua 1:9

Tell me, why am I so scared of a plane? It isn't because of the beautiful scenery outside of the window. It isn't because someone may have a bomb [b/c I know that I would be with my Father in Heaven if that did happen :))],and it definitely is not because I am scared of getting lost. All those things are things I can deal with. So why then?

I am going to be honest here. The last time I was on a plane[for 1 hr 45 minutes] I clammed up, sweated like crazy, felt like I was going to choke and felt very dizzy in a way. I just want to ask a little favor of my blogger friends,and that is this: could you please pray with me that my fear of flying will subside? I know, that I know, that I know that is a scheme of Satan. He doesn't want me to travel. He doesn't want me to go to Africa this summer. Because he knows that GOD's hand is in it, that there is something he can't control - GOD working in people's lives to orchestrate wonders. I know that GOD can suppress these feelings that the Devil throws my way when I am on a plane. So if you would, please join me in prayer for exactly that. Thank you guys!

I know the Lion of the tribe of Judah can protect me!

what a great post about excuses!
