What Noah Obedience meant to my Son


One day my youngest son of only 6 or 7 years old(he is now 20 ;-)) made a comment that stop me in my tracks and I got to thinking. I was making my bed early one morning when he walked in, in such an excited voice he told me, “Mom aren’t you glad that Noah obeyed God or else humans wouldn’t be on this earth, Mom we wouldn’t be alive” and I answered yes Papas(my term of endearment to my both of my Sons). Just like he had bounced into my room he was gone and I sat on my bed to pounder what he had said.
Lamech named his son Noah, and said, “He will comfort us in the labor and painful toil of our hands caused by the ground the Lord has cursed.” Gen 5:29  

I searched everywhere where Lamech would get his info on his sons’ name and destiny but couldn’t find anything. I pondered on my sons comment and truly I hadn’t never really considered Noah’s obedience as the sole reason why humanity still exists. Noah found favor in the Lords eyes and humanity was spared. Noah boarded an ark that only God could close the door (there was no remote control or manual handle) and no steering wheel to guide it. Noah totally obeyed God, no questions asked!
Till this day I wonder where my son came up with Noah and his obedience, asked his Sunday School teacher if they had taught on Noah recently and she said No. I can only guess it was one of our family devotions night studies. I am thankful for Noah and his obedience.

Funny Dream...

A funny dream I had…try not to laugh to hard…I was walking through my room to my bathroom when I suddenly heard a baby’s cry on my bed I looked but I said to myself,   Surely Not! I kept walking but then I heard another baby’s cry, every time I ignored the cries there was yet another baby on my bed. I don’t know if the dream ended or what but I totally put the dream in the back of my mind. Three to four days later I was at my desk at work, I was talking to God; I could feel him like he was sitting so close to me such sweet peace. So I asked him about my dream I told him surely Lord that can’t be live babies that I’m going to have cause I’m up in age (he replied instantly, remember Sarah). Yes Lord but I am a single lady, Sarah had a husband (can’t describe it but I heard the Lords laughter) what would people say Lord, just doesn’t seem possible (I am the impossible, still I heard his laughter). I myself began to laugh, this is crazy Lord. But then in a happy but serious voic...

GOD answers little prayers not just Big Ones

March 2000 still a fairly new convert repented and baptized in Jesus Name, seeking the Holy Ghost the ladies from a small central Texas church invited me to a ladies meeting in Lufkin-Nacogdoches area. I found sitters for my guys that were 3 and 8 at that time and rushed in my packing.  Made a mental note of two thinks in particular that I had to get no matter how tight my budget was. I talked to God, told him you are my provider now and you know us girls have to have our stuff to keep pretty so please Lord make a way for me. We drove into a beautiful campground still had those two items on my mind and told Sisters Torres and Rolland we have to go to town as soon as we register and get our stuff put in the dorm.  We registered and were handed a yellow envelope (more like a packet). When I got a chance I opened the envelope and their before my eyes are the two items I had asked God for! I was like WOW God answered my prayer so fast. To anyone out there it may not seem like a b...

Approaching the Throne Boldly

Just got back from a conference and was reading an Elders book he had just published and I was inspired to write the next paragraphs... In 2007 I discovered a lump the size of a quarter that at times ached so doctors wanted to cut, aspirate and whatever else they thought was needed,  I told them NO you will not touch me. As christians when faced with hard decisions I believe we have the authority to approach God throne boldly and ask for certain things in our lifes. I was desperate so I did that I inquired of the Lord and told the Lord if you don't heal me I am leaving this world but Lord I am not ready to leave this world. I have two sons that still need to be raised and I don't want their father or my family to raise them. I am desperate Lord heal me or take me quickly. A year later I returned for my yearly test, and the technician stopped in the middle of the procedure and told me he had to go get a doctor...at that precise moment I called out to God and told Him yo...
