Thank You! - Prayer Request for Jordan and Niles

Thank you for all of you that have prayed and will pray. How awesome is it we get to talk to God, the master physician, the master builder, the life force that causes a heart to beat, the loving Father who sacrificed His only begotten Son so we could be His, and the loving who raised His son from the dead so that we are made alive from the inside to the outside?!!!
I've had the most wonderful time with Niles reviewing for his test. Chris Carey's wonderful teaching from last Sunday has resounded in my heart- Prove God! Go get your own Psalms 107. And the wonderful thing about it is God has a bunch of Psalms 107s for each and every one of us. 
We don't know the outcome of Niles' test yet, but one thing is for sure- Just as a Father tosses their child up, catches them, and tosses them up again, our Daddy God is right there to catch us, and hold us, as we squeal in delight. "Again Daddy. Do it again!"

Thank you everybody!
Yay God!

Prayer Request for Jordan and Niles

Good Morning My Redeemed Brothers and Sisters in Christ!

To take full advantage of this great body of Christ we have been called to, I have a prayer request. Please pray for my sons, Niles and Jordan. They both have high stakes tests to take in the near future. Today at 6 pm Niles will be taking an achievement test. He needs to score the same or better than 80 percent of children who have taken the test (80th percentile). By making this score he has a wider range of middle schools he can attend.
In March, Jordan will be taking the ACT college entrance exams. He is studying most every night. We are believing for a score that will make him eligible for scholarships and to enter the best college for him. 


 Ephesians 3:15-20
Of whom (God, the Father of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ) the whole family in heaven and earth is named...
* That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man...
* That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith...
* That ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what [is] the breadth, and length, and depth, and height...
* And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge
* That ye might be filled  with all the fulness of God!

 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or  think, according to the power that worketh in us!

What a cool package deal!!!

I explained these verses to Niles this morning. After reading "...and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge." I told him that knowing the love of Christ allows all the knowledge you need to be passed or understood.
I then asked Niles to illustrate, "What would Jesus Christ make on this achievement test?" He said, "Jesus Christ would make a 100!"
