First gathering at Park Place and the movie

I watched a very interesting movie, called Children on Their Birthdays.
It teaches about respect, friendship, romance, compassion, feminine role, Christian love and much more. I would like to see it again, or read a book.

Last night was a first prayer/worship meeting this year. We gathered at Park Place Church of God. Three women and four men. God has been with us in Glory! We were encouraged to be COURAGEOUS, not timid.

Jesus reminded me that He laid down his life for us, so are we to lay down our lives for others. It means to be the sacrifice.

Bless the Lord, oh my soul.

Phil prayed over us as well, intercedeing for peace, healing, mantle of authority, and others.

THANK YOU!

great weekend at Bloomington, freedom from hurt

What a great weekend Sam and I celebrated in Bloomington and in Anderson. We both felt encouraged, uplifted, nourished in our soul and spirit. The Lord worked in mighty ways. Walk around the IU campus on Saturday morning, when stillness and sun created a wonderful experience; stopping by the Cafe that was Christian. We felt greatly blessed by being there that Saturday morning; visiting an Art store and chatting with workers, who were so helpful in finding ways to let Sam to have an ART show.

On Sunday morning, I experienced a very negative, dramatic feeling in relation to being at church. What seemed to be an issue of all inclusiveness, tolerance to the point of excaping the name of God, after an honest conversation with Sam at the food place, I was able to look into the situation with more imput. Sam shared how he views people from the Temple point of view. Jewish understanding of the Temple descibed in the Holy Scriptures as having three parts: the Court, the Holy and the Holy of Holies. People are on the different stages in their lives, and Sam allows to interact with them accordingly, whereas I preferred to connect only on the Holy and Holy of Holies level (meaning let's just focus on the glory of God, who awesoem our Jesus is). In the court, there are issues that may or may not be related to God necessarily (earthly things, so to say).
But God worked even deeper into my soul and understanding concerning that situation. He helped me to see the HURT within my temle, an area where I have been wounded so bad by a certain Christian community, that left a bitter root of betrayal, distrust to a Christian community. And there are many people who are in that place still. However, in teh bathroom of the Theater, I approached the Cross where Jesus Died in my prayer and laid that hurt and asked Jesus to wash it off, so that I could love and forgive. Immediately I saw a huge difference to people around me and that particular community of faith. People do say, "We hurt others, when we are hurt."

So, glory to God for the liberting power of the Cross.

In my dream tonight, I verbally spoke the words to somebody, "You (we all) have our own will. But Jesus prayed, not my will be done, but Yours." Sam lifted a prayer on my behalf using the same words, "Let Your will be done."
In the worship class, we looked into the Temple and Jesus. Oh, it was so engaging. Jesus is the Temple!!!!

strange dream

First, there was drowning, and an empty building where people were hiding from the danger and war. Then, we came down from the bus and met the main guy. The very first thing that he said, was "since you lost the war, all of you must die." I was an intercessor, pleading with the main guy that he would change the verdict. He was reluctant to change anything. A group of youth ran away while hte main guy talked to a girl, when he came back there were flowers planted by the cafeteria, he wondered why they did that. I said, it is in memory of htem. What if you were killed and there was your flower there. He rebuked me. then I said, I do not understand; he replied, You are cute. I'll make sure you'll get the flower.

Then some parents wanted to die with their children. So I saw a line of women (lined in front of Market Place valley). They took a gun and shot. A first lady fell down and most of them fell. But then nobody died, but were only injured. They could even walk. So They all lined up and headed toward Reardon. I walked beside a young girl, extending my hand, so she could lean on it. Sh asked me, where are we going? I told her, probably to the dorms. (I thought that since they did not die, the turture had finished). We turned from them and started to walk away, but the girl insisted to follow. So we walked. Came to a shakkel house. There we met a multitude of people dressed in shining white. The group of women (esp. young) that came, were taking off from themselves jelwery and other things. I was inside looking and supervising a little what to put away from their stuff. Then I decided to speak. I had a sense of joy, hope and faith. I told them about the Father who loves them and Jesus who is crazy about them. I told them how sometimes I think about heaven. (I have not seen how they were killed, but kind of new that they were hanged).
The guard had a gun and a huge dog. The dog was the meanest creature, with sharp teeth and super big anger. So I stayed inside, protected from that dog.

new haircut

Hello my dear friends!!!!!!

I am happy to announce that since yesterday I have a new hairstyle. It took me some research to do before I decided on shpe and form. Apparently, I have diamond-trangle face (with wider cheakbones), therefore, the bang created a nice oval face and made it look really pretty.

My roommate like it (since she was the first one), the next day three people complimented me on a hairstyle (Ethleen-housekeeper, JAckie-my boss, and Becky- librarian).

Thank you dear Lord,

for allowing your daughter to be beautiful and feel happy about it.

Sincerely,

Katya

KNOW your BIBLE

A clear warning and appeal to read the BIBLE. Dennis Cramer wrote an article on ELIJAHLIST.com that I found so true. He spoke about the Church that is biblically ignorant; our Biblies are dust-covered and unused.

This morning, the Holy Spirit guided me to take the Bible to work and there he spore, "You study My Word and I will bless you."

We need Bible classes and seminars, where we read the Bible and not the books about the Bible with different theologies and interpretation in it. The danger of deception!

Thank you Lord.!

Now, we are to put it into practice by reading the Word!

SABBATH, DAY OF REST

But the Lord answered, "To say you are too busy to rest on the Sabbath is like saying you are too poot to tithe. It means you have not learned My ability to provide. If I tell you to rest, you CAN rest."
Wayne Muller described Sabbath activity as "Time consecrated to enjoy and celebrate what it beautiful and good- time to light candles, sing songs, worship, tell stories, bless our children and loved ones, give thanks, share meals, nap, walk, and even make love. It is a time to be nourished and refreshed as we let our work, our chors and our important projects lie fallow, trusting that there are larger forces at work taking care of the world when we are at rest."

You wisper a prayer in the child's ear while gently holding his head.

May the Lord make you like Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, and Lean; like Ephraim and Menasseh.

May the Lord bless you and watch over you.

May the Lord cause the Divine face to shine upon you and be gracious to you.

May the Lord lift up the Divine face toward you and bring you peace. Amen.
