What Goes Around, Comes Around.

What Goes Around, Comes Around.

Little known fact about me: For the past fifteen and a half months, I have been trying to find THE verse that would be considered "Dylan's Verse". I had been searching on and off for one that would either line up with his birth date, his name (James), or anything else that would jump out at me. Couldn't find it, until today.

Let me rewind for a bit. I have the urging to thank you from the bottom of my heart for any extra prayers you said for me last week. Or any other means (and there were some), that you went out of your way to show me that I was loved. Thank You. Last week turned out splendidly. And, I know much of that is owed to you, blog readers, friends, and cherished family members.

The Bible says that a man(or woman) will reap what he sows(Gal 6:7).

And, for those of you that have sown into my life, I want to do the same for you this week. So, whether you've been cheering me on, or rooting for my downfall, I love you just the same. Let your prayer request(s) be known, and I will be honored to pray for you, this week.

And Dylan's verse? Ah, yes. It was read at tonight's service: Deuteronomy 28.
It's not just one verse, but all of Deuteronomy 28.

If, after reading the following, you find that you're in need of any of the blessings listed, all you have to do is ask. If you'd rather not have your comment publicized, just say so in your comment, and I will moderate. I will still pray for you, but not publicly post your comment. So read on, and BE BLESSED!

Thank you for loving me. I am honored to love you in return.

Blessings to you this upcoming week!

"1 If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. 2 All these blessings will come upon you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God:

3 You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.

4 The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.

5 Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed.

6 You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.

7 The LORD will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.

8 The LORD will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The LORD your God will bless you in the land he is giving you.

9 The LORD will establish you as his holy people, as he promised you on oath, if you keep the commands of the LORD your God and walk in his ways. 10 Then all the peoples on earth will see that you are called by the name of the LORD, and they will fear you. 11 The LORD will grant you abundant prosperity—in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your ground—in the land he swore to your forefathers to give you.

12 The LORD will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. 13 The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom. 14 Do not turn aside from any of the commands I give you today, to the right or to the left, following other gods and serving them."
Deuteronomy 28:1-14

Loved all that! I talked to Heather tonight for a few seconds when I was not chasing small children! But, I will hopefully meet you soon at the ob office! It just makes me chuckle that you feel like you know someone just from the internet and yet have never met! SO, I look forward to meeting you hopefully soon!

Oh Nicole, I have been praying for you:) We would love prayers for the Lord to open my womb. We have had a miscarriage since the stillbirth of our sweet Samuel, but haven't been able to get pregnant again... We have four living children, but would absolutely love another blessing from my womb... of course from the Lord to my womb:)

I have been praying for you since I came upon your blog months ago. If you could please pray for my family as we are (as are so many families at this time) under some financial hardships and are trying to listen to God to see what the correct path for us to follow will be.

I have been a follower for some time but never a commenter, so feel slightly guilty for making this the first comment, but I covet your prayers.

I have been deeply depressed for 14 months..medicated, in therapy, on and on..and have made no progress. Within the last month, I have been feeling worse, to the point that I don't know that I can go on. Please pray.
