BE STILL AND KNOW......

"Be still and know that I am God, be still and know that I am God, be still and know that I am God." "I am the Lord that healeth thee, I am the Lord the healeth thee..." a chorus God brought to my mind this past week. God is teaching me many things, one of which is patience.  One morning my devotion spoke to this and I heard it at my bible study and that evening it was in my Bible study AGAIN. "Be still, and know that I am God" Psalm 46 - 10.  I have never stopped long enough to be still for anything. Having 3 boys under the age of 3, (twins), working, ect. Now I am learning to listen to God's voice and I am experiencing His peace like never before.

God showed me He is watching over me this week while in Sunriver. I was walking my dog along the golf course. Tug was having a grand time chasing his ball, prancing around as if he owned that course. All of the  sudden 4 deer came running across our path and there goes TUG....as fast as his legs could go chasing them for "deer" life. Across the course through the houses across the street into the national forest.  I ran as well, yelling his name, but he was out of sight in seconds...I tried to follow the path I could see in the soft dirt for about a mile or so. Finally I stopped to call Rocky..why?...what was he gonna do? I didn't even know where I was exactly. I asked God to please help me find TUG and in minutes he was running up behind me with a big smile and his tongue hanging out exhausted. I immediately put him on leash and headed home. I realized part way home my phone was gone.  That evening Rocky, Randy, Mom and I all went out and tried to locate it. No luck. Early the next morning Rocky and Randy went out to look. Not knowing even exactly where I had been. While wandering out in the forest Rand asked God, "Lord, you know where that phone is, please help us find it." He called it and a small sage brush right near him started ringing. AMAZING! It had rained that night and it was cover in mud...ringing....my son Spencer says it was the "modern day burning bush!" God spoke assurance to me that day that He is watching over me and every move I make, knowing exactly His perfect timing for everything in my life, including complete healing!

I have been having some back pain that really concerned me while on that trip. When I got home I called the radiologist that treated my back in February. She told me that the back looked great in the recent scan! It is probably muscle strain and stress! She suggested massage, acupuncture and stretching...I was thrilled!!! Praise The Lord!!!

I have a best friend that is recovering from breast cancer surgery. Please pray for her as well. God's timing is something else. I am amazed how He has his Hand on my life and the assurance He has given me to pass onto my friend!!
