Job 1-4 ; Acts 6-9

Loved the part in Job where God offers Job to Satan....always thot of Satan asking permission of God to mess with him and here I see God tricking Satan into picking Job. Gives me a kind of comfort I guess. God knew Job's heart and his ability (?) to withstand Satan's messing with him. Satan, the great manipulator...manipulated by my God..... gives me a little smile...;)

aww Eliphaz....to not be able to sit with a friend and listen, to always have a WORD to say, encouragment to offer, solutions..........see so much of myself in Job's friends.....


And then in Acts...Stephen filled w/the Holy Spirit and eyes on God.....able to withstand....and there's Saul, giving approval to his stoning and having his own experience w/Christ later...so much mystery to and in my God....to live in that seeking You always and forever and living in the mystery.....a Triune God loving us so much....

Becky! you put 2 weeks notice in?!?! hurray! Are you moving overseas? Are you selling your house? Are you waiting on God? I'm so excited that you did something so huge and scary... that you're risking so much and going where God is moving and doing the things that stir God's heart! We just went over Joshua... be strong and very strong b/c when you choose to do something for/with the Lord, it requires supernatural strength and character! hurray for you!!! Can you tell me how I can pray for you?
