- Hi Peoples!
As I sit here and learn the words to 'All I want for Christmas is You' (mariah carey) and think of the importance of being a real musician and keeping it real - NOT! I wonder how all of you are with Thanksgiving and Christmas all coming up! What will you be thinking of giving thanks for at Thanksgiving? Where will you be in mind, body and spirit at Christmas? What was 2005 all about for you? Did you catch it, get it, or totally miss it... I think about all these things and my prayer would be that I am exactly where God wants me to be and for you all too, that God has you exactly where He wants you to be for the next move He wants to make.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING. My prayer today for you all is that you are deeper in your relationship with Him and giving thanks for such an amazing gift - to boldy have access to Him. I pray each year that passes becomes sweeter in Him. Love you all and send a big 'Stevie' hug attached to a big grin!

Please Pray ..... Bombshell dropped yesterday...
Hi,
Well after a week of what seemed to be road blocks in me being able to have an audience/appointment with the American Consulate I now have an appointment in the middle of January. Not what I wanted but I can say I am now in and on my way...The rest is in Gods hands.
As I pondered why the delay when I have incredible peace and job opportunities in the States I received a phone call from my beautiful Chilean friend, Margarita. She said she had been praying and felt that yes the US was a go! but that my work here was not quite finished. I wondered what this was all about. Two thirty pm yesterday I found out what that was.
My mum rang me very distressed and said could she walk down to meet me. I instantly thought of dad. So I said yes. The worry in her voice caused me to start walking up to meet her halfway across the blocks. I only had to see her very very white face and red rimmed eyes to know this was not going to be good. I must confess a little fear rose up in me.
She just looked at me and said 'Your brother has just left his wife and kids'...My mum is 71 and in that moment I gotta tell you she looked way beyond her years. I rushed her to my place and we sat and talked. I think I sat in a confused state and worked my way through anger to tears to what we really needed to do - pray. We held hands and just cried our heartache out to the Lord for my brother and his beautiful wife and girls.
My brother came back to the Lord two years ago. His wife has been holding onto the Lord in a quiet faith all these years of married life. You can imagine her joy at her husband finally in a place with God ministering to him. His two daughters were saved and are now radically serving God. My brother is very analytical and deep. My thoughts are simply, where he should have been on a diet of milk - being in the word - he has gone onto meat and begun reading books on everything you can imagine in the faith before simple truths were established in him. Thus leading him to the place he is in now of such confusion and heartache.
Anyway, many things I could say about the problems and the painful journey in that family right now but I was reminded yesterday of how Noah's son covered his nakedness when he was drunk. So my brother, and his family, needs covering at the moment. Covering in prayer and discretion.
Not sure if I have a part to play except be here at this time to pray with mum and gird her up, thus the delay to the States by a few weeks. No one else in the family apart from my dad knows. You know familys and friends can do more damage with judgement and self righteous opinions, which a hurting family doesnt need right now, it needs love in this early stage. So on that note I would ask you all to add this to your lists in prayer. Their names - Ian & Sue, and their girls Ariella & Hepszibah.
Thanks & Much Love...0 Comments 400 weeks

Dad and the surgery....
Hi Everyone,
Thank you all for your prayers and support with my dad. Its been quite an ordeal for him and it is not over yet. The actual bypass surgery (4x) went very well. Since the surgery though he has not been able to eat and food or breathe on his own. His lungs collapsed and they drained more than a litre of blood and little clots of blood out in one day. He still has some more to drain. He has not been allowed to speak to anyone as his blood pressure drops so low when he makes any physical effort, even with talking he has to refrain. He has been receiving injections of magnesium to help with his blood pressure.
I arrived home Friday only to find I am not allowed to see him till at least Wednesday this week because of what I may have been exposed to via the long plane flights and all that recycled air. The home I am also staying in was also right in the middle of rather bad virus when I arrived Friday...!!!
I have had to move to a friends house as the family home has had to be converted to a mini ward almost to enable dad to come home when he is allowed. Dad now has my room made up to nurse him. I am here for a short time only as I continue my journey to the States to work and live. (I would ask your continuance in prayer on this. You all know my heart!)
Mum had an amazing time on the day of the surgery. She ended up being able to get away from family and go and pray in the little hospital chapel. She told me that not long after being in prayer she felt a huge blanket go all around her with peace and she literally could not move (and didnt want to) until two hours later when one of my older sisters tapped her on the shoulder gently. She said she was exactly where she was meant to be and God gave her peace and strength. Amazing - Thank you God!
God was so very good to me in Florida and I bless His name for all that He blessed me with in friendship, but also the times He spoke to me just about me and who I am and why its ok to just be me before Him and others. I find every trip holds another sifting. Whether its a sifting of rubbish or its to install new things, its always a time of growing.
I dont always know His purposes and plans and when I think I do it often isnt the case, especially concering my own life, but I trust Him that He does not lead us so far only to let go of our hand. God has lead me to many doors and I trust in Him alone to only allow me access into the ones that are in His sovereign will for me.
It was a great time to see my friend (BFF!) Anthony and how the Lord is opening doors for his business in areas that bless not only him but also others serving God fervently for this lost world of broken people - in and out of the church. I keep getting Christmas as an even further pivitol point in Anthony's life, so I am going to keep praying into that. Bless you Anthony and thank you for taking care of me. I felt like a princess at times with the manner in which you treated me. Always time for a first and that was mine! Love ya matie and dang u look so cool P L A Y B O Y! lol
I met some other beautiful people and was humbled at times at how they gave all glory to God in the things He had restored or renewed in their lives. To see a couple surrendered to God and in that surrender to see how God has given them a marriage that is full of love. I bless Your name Lord. May You continue to bless Jose and Christina A. in all that they seek to do for You and give them a beautiful baby bundle of joy, that is their hearts desire. Let it not be too long Lord, may it be soon. (girls join me in prayer on this one)..
Lani! Thank you for the love note!!! I wish I could have everyone meet you my gorgeous girl. Lani you are growin up so fast into a woman that I think will give the whole world a run for its money!!! Love you xxx
Well I am here at my friend Leslies (Lani's mum) until God moves me on soon. Here is the number 613 62299 777. Feel free to call and know that Leslie is here for any of yo0 Comments 401 weeks

Wednesday 28th September
Yesterday was a tough day. I have three sisters and one brother. The sister up from me had her birthday yesterday. As per usual I was excluded by my younger sister who arranged a present etc and a visit with my mum in tow. An outsider yet again. I was a bit hurt and down but then I read Psalm 139 about how the Lord searches our anxious thoughts and also wants us to exam areas in our life that need attending to _vs 24.
So I repented this morning of my thoughts and gave Him my anxious thoughts. I sent my sister an email asking if I could meet her personally to give her the birthday gift. I got the usual run around and I'll get back to you. Later in the day I found out her daughter/my niece was not well. Her health is a bit down and my sister was concerned. This sister has always struggled with a spirit of fear.
After an hour the Holy Spirit really got on my case and overrided my thoughts with a dream I had about two of my nieces (i.e. the one now sick) some years ago and one I had shared with my sister a long time ago. I felt prompted to send through the vision as follows.......
I know most of the family think I am nuts and thats ok but I really think this is a whole lot of filth being poured out by old sack face himself. A lot of words have been spoken about this year and there is a lot of breakthrough coming for people and I cant help but think the devil knows about it and is sending out a wave of sickness to to rob people of their joy, their destinies, their dreams right before they arrive.
So on that note I know God has not given us a spirit of fear but of love and I know in my heart and will remind you in full confidence of the dream I was given all those years ago of both Kimberley and Emily. I shared it with you a long time ago as we sat in my car outside your old church actually.
(In brief) I saw both your daugthers and Emily was 18yrs old and I saw them both at a Christian event and the Lord touching them in a mighty way. I saw the enemy having a real go at them in the unseen, the spirit, beforehand and then suddenly as their hearts were opening up to God, Gods light started flooding all over them. Huge Angels started appearing in a blink of an eye with great swords all around them cutting down the enemy. They were destroying the enemy that had been all around them both. Your girls were safe and surrounded by these angels. Their hearts were full of great love.
So for what its worth thats the dream I pray into. I know that His angels do camp around your girls. I know that He only gives good and perfect things and I know that our hope is in Him. I konw that God gives us pictures to keep so that when things in our circumstances come along we have something to remember and say no, this is not Gods will. So I am remembering and saying no, I know Gods plans for your girls and I am not going to allow sack face to say otherwise.
I do love you....
I share this with you all as my heart more than anything is to have my sister and her husband back in the Saviours arms before she's back in mine.
I feel nervous but peaceful. But I just HAD to say something, something of truth and pray that it hits her heart. I can only be me too and I dont see why I should hide my faith out of politeness anymore. Time is of the essence to not step up to the plate and be bold for God.
I pray this encourages you with people close to you that seem so far away in relationship to you and God. I pray that as we pray for this to touch my sisters heart, that more opportunities are presented to you all by the Lord to deliver a word of His love to your special someone. I really believe as the Word says its His loving kindness that leads us to repentance....
Love ya's....
