Well, I've learned in the last few months that 7 is the number for completion according to Scriptures. If you are unsure of that, do a search throughout the Bible and see how the number 7 keeps popping up and what it refers to.
I know today was another wonderful illustration of it. Seven years ago today, I was in a church in south Houston dealing with guilt shame and uncertainty. Today, I stood up proudly in church when the pastor called for all the fathers to stand. I have been blessed this Father's Day with having Ricky and Logan. Having Ricky here for Father's Day just took it way over the top.
Both my boys were with me on this Father's Day. The only thing that would have made it better would have been having Hannah here. I know she would have been there too to share the joy of that moment with me if she'd been able, but I know I'm in her thoughts today too. And to add to everything, I got a call from Ariel this afternoon wishing me a Happy Father's Day.
It didn't really hit me till we got home the significance of it all. I was standing by the washing machine getting ready to go outside when it all came crashing in. Overwhelming is an understatement. I am thankful far beyond any ability to express it. Thank you Father.
Oh, two more things to be thankful for on this WONDERFUL day.
HOMEMADE BISCUITS AND GRAVY :)

Time to take a Stand
Well, a lot's been happening since my last entry. I've been reading a bunch of books, I'm in a class on purity now, and I'm learning (by field training) intercession. Today, something that's been speaking to me for a while finally came to a head. Christine and I are going to start a prayer group at church.
The name of the group is from Christine: The Shield of Faith
Ok. For those of you familiar with spiritual warfare, you already caught the first meaning. The second is that the name of our church is Faith Community Church. If you're not familiar with spiritual warfare, read up on Ephesians 6:16.
Above all, take the shield of faith, with which you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
I got the mission of the group. To protect the church and the members therein through prayer.
Like the title of this blog, it's a wild ride!
