Ginny - Ephesians 1:20-21

Good Morning Girlz!!!

S - which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.

O - I love the ending..."not only in this age but also in the one to come." Period. No changing. He's won! He is victor! Forever!

A - Just makes you want to shout HALLELUJAH!!! I find myself reading the verse faster and faster as I think about how awesome He is. Isn't it exciting to think about...He is above all for all eternity! It just makes me want to praise Him with hands lifted high. He is worth it all!

P - Lord thank you for winning! Thank you for conquering evil. Thank you for saving me so that I can spend "ages to come" with You. I love you!

Tonight I fly to Dallas, spend the last night in the house at Duncanville, and then fly to NYC tomorrow morning to spend the weekend with Tim. I'll get back to Lubbock on Monday night and my parents move to NYC on Tuesday. Any little prayers for a smooth few days of details and saying good-bys would be appreciated. I'll be sure and update y'all on Tuesday when I am back around a computer.

Also, quick update on my Aunt Lynn who has the cancer. The treatments for the small cell cancer have worked very well, but while they have been fighting the small cell, the large cell has grown. So good news and bad news. They still split time between Tulsa and MD Anderson in Houston for treatments. She is feeling O.K. but doctors have told her it will only be a matter of time before it just spreads too far too quickly. Thanks for your prayers!

LOVE YOU GIRLS!!!

Giny - Ephesians 1:18-19

S - I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might

O - "eyes of your heart" To see with our heart. It' s deeper more meaningful type of "seeing."

A - I love how Ephesians talks about knowledge, revelation, clarity, eyes, enlightened...it's a reminder to me that through the Lord's power I can be a wise person.

P - Lord I pray for wisdom. I pray I will see things the way You see things.

Ephesians 1:18-19, Karlyn

Good morning good morning good morning!

S - I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance.  I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe him.

O - hearts flooded with light - clarity
      understand confident hope - clear comprehension
      rich and glorious inheritance - priceless
      incredible greatness of God's power - limitless

A - I am loved by and serve the almighty God, whatever I'm fearing or trying to control on my own is very silly because of the power available to me in him!

P - I praise you God for being limitless and giving me confident hope and an inheritance in you!  I do not have words to express how blessed I am in you.

Ginny - Ephesians 1:17

Good Morning Girlz!!!

S - that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him.

O - Our God, who is so great, mighty, powerful, all-knowing, ruler of the universe, wants to bestow on us wisdom and revelation.

A - There are more days that I feel I lack wisdom and revelation than days that I feel filled up with such traits. I can relate better to confusion and wonder than wisdom and revelation. According to this verse I am missing out! God wants to give me these things. Maybe I should start asking Him...

P - Lord I ask for wisdom and revelation as this verse talks about. As I learn about You, I pray that You will my mind with Your thoughts and Your insight.
