Last week Marvin and I along with 12 people from Pikangikum went to MN to a healing conference. It was just what we needed! We had not had a break since June and that was to go to my dad's funeral (not much of a break). We were so blessed by the worship, the testimonies of God's healing power. I believe that we will see more and more super natural manifestations and we will know they are a natural everyday part of what God is doing. I didn't take a camera so I can't show you any pictures. It was really good to join the Pik folks also and learn to know them a little bit better. We ended up coming home a day early because of a murder in Pikangikum. Most of the group stayed but one lady really felt the need to get back so we brought her back. We only missed the last day so it wasn't to bad. We ordered the DVD of the evening message. I came back with a new attitude to the call I have here in the North land. As I was saying in my last blog...I am just an ordinary woman but I serve an extraordinary God! I long to speak to him face to face as Moses did. The past 2 books that I have read and the one I just started reading last night talks about talking to God face to face......Also about the Lord's favour. I am learning and need to learn more about His favour, even how I can release His favour to others by what I speak. (O there goes watching my tongue!) My desire is to use my tongue to build up and strengthen others.
WE have a young lady living with us for 10 days..Pray that she will be blessed and feel loved by being here! I pray also that I will represent Jesus clearly. We were also supposed to have a couple here this afternoon they didn't show not sure what happened. We will try again next week.

God is in the ordinary
This sumer has been wild yet mundane. I have felt at times like dancing then like crying I have been bored, frustrated with the work (or my part of the work) here. Yet know this is where God has us for this season. Today I was reading a book about different kinds of prayer. The chapter for today is Praying the Ordinary. I was again reminded how God finds glory in whatever we do whether its cleaning toilets (man Have I done a lot of that!) or painting a beautiful picture. Whatever I am doing I need to do it for HIS glory. He cares about the small things. To you younger ladies he cares about all the dishes and clothes that need to be washed and the dirty diapers, snotty noses. Just do it for his glory! Bless you children! your Husband or whatever you are doing throughout the day find joy in the small menial things. I needed a reminder to find God in the ordinary, I need to repent for not looking or thinking at times that God loves us no matter what my lifework is. I know to that you cannot separate work and ministry. We all have a job and we all have a ministry. God is faithful he has our best intrest in mind!
The picture is an ordinary job that was a good change for me........I would much rather be outside than in.
