My Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving Conference, and Parents coming to visit!

I had a Great Thanksgiving! With one week off work I was able to enjoy... but not relax. :) My body thought I had to work, so I believe I got about 3 hours of sleep a night. But the Lord is being my supply in my sufferings :). I'm so happy to be able to pursue after the Lord as my comfort in these times. Along with being super stressed out about my life situation in moving in Feb. and starting back up in school to study to become first a CNA then a RN, in the new year. I'm going through alot of foreign things to me right now, and am only handling them through the Lord's grace and mercy. I'm daily loving the Lord as my first love, and taking Him as my supply. I am praying that the Lord show's me what His goal and purpose is in all of this. For it is His perfect will that will be carried out and accomplished no matter what my life brings my way, But His supply that will get me through EVERYTHING!!

My parents are coming to visit for three weeks. They arrive tomorrow.... Having mixed emotions. I'm super excited to have them here, but this will be the first time both my parents will be staying as my guests, and me not being theirs. They will also be here three weeks, then I will be in California with them for three more. Talk about after not really getting to have my parents around for 2 years, I get a major overdose of time with them. Which I'm looking forward to, but also a little bit worried.... that i might just go insane ;). I think we all love our parents, but as an adult... you know what? I'm going to be gaining major amounts of Christ! That's something else to look forward to :D!

Last week was great! I was in Athens, GA... my "hometown" (haha. I call it home because it is the only place that REALLY feels like home!!). I spent Monday, Tuesday and Thursday there!! Wednesday I spent running all sorts of errands that i've been needing to get done for months. Friday was stay away from any store possible ;). No not really... My Thanksgiving with work was Friday. Saturday was spent with a best friend of mine, shopping, when we werent in one of the Thanksgiving Conf. meetings.

Monday I traveled with my friend Emily to "Tello Town" (my bestfriends house, yes we nicknamed it)... I had a lot of hair clients that day up there, so it was good that we were able. And I also just wanted to be with family during my vacation :) We ended up spending the night.
Tuesday, I spent the day with a dear Friend Mariela, and taught her children's home school classes while she got ready to go out of town for thanksgiving with her dear family. Later that evening was my Tello Town home meeting. Of which I was able to attend for the second time this semester. :D We had a enjoyable time. Had breakfast for dinner, sang love songs to the Lord, and also enjoyed a little reading material from the ministry. Later that night drove back to ATL
Wed. BORING ;) ATL BORING..... ;) JK... Chick-fil-a all the way!! Liz and I have a REALLY bad Chicky addiction. I love their "Chocolate Peppermint" Milkshakes, that are only here during the Christmas Holiday season :(...
Thursday, Thanksgiving, I ened up back in Athens with Lizzy and the Tello's, enjoying their family and all the AWESOMELY awesomeness of Yummy food! I also got to talk to my little sister Hannah (who is living in Romford, London, England), for over 2 hours :D! That was one of the MANY things that made my thanksgiving. My sister Naomi also called me :) I spent the wee hours of the morning in Target (with Lizzy and Kelsey, as their "body guard") for their opening of "Black Friday." and realized people will do anything they can to get what they want sometimes. Some people really are CRAZY!
Friday, I had a Thanksgiving dinner with my Bosses family, it was really enjoyable. Later in the evening Friday night the "International Thanksgiving Conference" broadcast started. So there were night and morning meetings broadcasted. I was lucky to have been able to make all of them. The conference was on "The Focus of the Lord's Recovery"

Here are the banners from this Conference:

The unique focus of the Lord's recovery is the testimony of the Triune God-The corporate expression of the Triune God, The testimony of Jesus.

... Romans 8 is the focus of the entire Bible and the center of the universe.

The focus of God's economy is the mingled spirit- the divine Spirit mingled with the human spirit- a spirit that is both the Spirit of the Lord and our spirit.

We need to live in the focus of the Lord's recovery as inoculators and ministers of the new covenant.

Enjoyment:
Message One
III.B.1. The highest definition of the church is that the church is the fullness of God, the corporate expression of God. v.19b
2. In Ephesians 3:16-17a and 19b Paul prayed that the Triune God in Christ would make His home in our hearts so that our inner being would be filled unto the overflowing of the Triune God for the corporate expression of the Triune God; this is what God wants to recover today.
3. As the corporate expression of the Triune God, the church-the Body of Christ -- is a four-in-one organic entity--the Father, the Son, the Spirit, and the Body mingled together as one--4:4-6

Message 2
II.B. The Crucial focus of Ephesians is the divine dispensing of the Divine Trinity into the believers.
*Prayer for every morning:
II.B.3. In chapter 3 the apostle prays that God the Father would *grant us to be strengthened through God the Spirit into their inner man so that Christ, God the Son, may make His home in their hearts, that they may be filled unto all the fullness of God--vv.16-19
5.Chapter 5 exhorts the believers to praise the Lord, God the Son, with the songs of God the Spirit, and give thanks in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, God the Son, to God the Father.--vv.19-20
6.Chapter 6 instructs us to fight the spiritual warfare by being empowered in the Lord, God the Son, putting on the whole armor of God the Father, and wielding the sword of the Spirit--vv.10-11, 17.
C. In our daily living we need to receive, experience, and enjoy the divine dispensing in a normal, gradual, and steady way--Rom. 8:11; 2 Cor. 13:14
2.b. Our destiny is to live a normal life in the divine dispensing; it is a blessing to be satisfied with ordanary days in the divine dispensing.

Message 4
II. All our spiritual experiences, such as our fellowship with the Lord, our prayer to Him and our living with Him, are in this mingled spirit.--John 4:24; 15:4-5; Rom. 1:9; 8:4, 16; Eph. 1:17; 2:22; 4:23; 6:18; Phil. 2:1
A.1. Through the Spirit of life the eternal, only wise God, according to the revelation of the mystery hidden through the ages, dispenses Himself in His processed and consummated Spirit into the believers to be their consummated salvation as their life and everything--16:25; 8:11; 5:10
3."The Spirit... with our spirit" (v.16) is the most crucial secret in Romans for God to execute His dynamic salvation and for the believers to participate in it.
4. We need to know these two spirits in the divine enlightenment so that by the Spirit of life mingled with our regenerated spirit, we may enter into the intrinsic significance of the dynamic salvation of God in Christ, which is the Triune God processed and consummated  to be our eternal inheritance for our enjoyment--vv. 2, 10, 16; 2 Cor. 13:14; Acts 26:18; Eph. 1:13-14
B.2. We must exercise the spirit of faith to believe and to speak the things that we have experienced of the Lord, especially His death and resurrection--4:13
3.It is by the mingled spirit as the spirit of faith that we the apostles lived a crucified life in resurrection for the carrying our of their ministry--3:8-9; 4:1, 10-12; 5:18
C.1. The Christian life is a life of abiding in the Lord as the true vine.--John 15:1, 4-5; 1 John 2:24, 27-28; cf.4:1
2. The mutual abiding in John 15:4-5 is the practice of being one spirit with the Lord.
D. Ultimately, the Bible requires only one thing of us --that we walk according to the mingled spirit--Rom 8:4
1. The key to experienceing and enjoying the processed and consummated Triune God through the divine dispensing is fround in the wonderful Spirit who is in our regneerated spirit and who has become one spirit with our spirit-- Phil.1:19; 1 Cor.15:45b: 6:17.
2.By living in the mingled spirit, we can experience Christ as everything to us--1:2, 9, 24, 30: 2:8, 10; 3:11; 5:7-8; 10:3-4; 11:3; 12:12; 15:20, 45B, 47
4.Whether or not we are under Satan's authority is not determined by the things we do but is determined by whether we are in the spirit or in the flesh; if we remain in teh mingled spirit, WE WILL BE KEPT FROM SATAN, and the evil one will have NO way to touch us--Gal 5:16-17; 1 John 5:4, 18-21.

Satan CAN NOT put his footsteps on the ground in the mingled spirit! My prayer to the Lord daliy is... "Oh Lord, cause us to turn to our mingled spirit, cause us to learn how to dwell constantly in the mingled spirit. Lord, we want to be those always found in our mingled spirit. Lord, we want to stay out of the enemies reach! Lord, cause us to be those who turn to our mingled spirit, moment by moment, day by day! Lord, we just LOVE you!"

Song of the week. Draw me, dear Lord.

• Draw me, dear Lord.
  Draw me today.
  From everything else, dear Lord,
  Draw me away.
1. O Lord, this whole world
   Seems to weigh me down.
   All the cares, the strife the sin,
   Within me and all around.
2. But, Lord, I want to set my heart,
   And, Lord, I want to stay with You.
   'Cause only when You're near to me
   Is everything okay.
3. And though everything may fall apart
   Or everything go my way,
   It doesn't really matter, Lord,
   As long as I gain You today.

Grow thou in ME

O Jesus Christ, grow Thou in me,
  And all things else recede;
My heart be daily nearer Thee,
  From sin be daily freed.
Each day let Thy supporting might
  My weakness still embrace;
My darkness vanish in Thy light,
    Thy life my death efface.
In Thy bright beams which on me fall,
  Fade every evil thought;
That I am nothing, Thou art all,
  I would be daily taught.
More of Thy glory let me see,
  Thou Holy, Wise, and True;
I would Thy living image be,
  In joy and sorrow too.
Fill me with gladness from above,
  Hold me by strength divine;
Lord, let the glow of Thy great love
  Through all my being shine.
Make this poor self grow less and less,
  Be Thou my life and aim;
Oh, make me daily through Thy grace
  More meet to bear Thy name.

Prayers

I believe more then ever God is the most awesome thing in this universe. He answers prayers like there is no tomorrow. And I see now why there are so many who can love Him unconditionally. I like to pray "LORD, MAKE ME ONE THAT LOVES YOU UNCONDITIONALLY!"

I have been going through a lot this past year and it has caused me to be and fall SO much more in love with our Lord! I pray and He answers. Sometimes not right away, but... He comes through one way or another! Thank you Lord that you love us so much! I will love you as my first love for the rest of time!

This past weekend I was in Charlotte, NC and there was something said by the best man that really suck with me "His best friend from childhood said.. "Jeremy has always been the overbearing brother always loving the Lord and wanting to pray before the meeting for the meeting.. And it just goes to show that loving the Lord as much as he does as his first love brings you the best kind of love, through the Lord, from the Lord, from a sister, who loves the Lord just as much as he does. (that's a long twisted sentence :)" But it just showed me that, love the Lord as your very first love and... The Lord will bless You with the perfect 2nd love :). I want that!

Also the Lord's days morning meeting was on suffering. I was just so impressed with alot of the realization and truth to what the saints were sharing on. Without suffering we would not have a reason to turn, we need to suffer to have a reason to turn to the Lord! The more we suffer the more we turn to the Lord! I'm one that appreciates suffering, because I want to gain more of the Lord in that aspect! You turn, call when you are suffering therefor your gain more of Christ and become infused with precious experiences and more growth and love for the Lord! "thank you Lord, for sufferings! For without I wouldn't love and live you out as much as I do! I love you!"

As for me and my House

It's been a long couple of weeks... I've been dealing with a lot, been WAY too busy with everything in life!
Someday's are easier then others, and then everything gets hard again. I'm constantly being reminded to call on the Lord moment by moment for my supply :)

The Lord is my Shephard and Leader through this life and I've been growing closer and closer to him in these harder, yet such great times.

I'm spending this Thanksgiving without my real family! My Parents are in Cali, Hannah is in London, Naomi is in Ashville, NC, Alissa and her family are in Rochester, MN. Mark is spending it with his girlfriends family, and Matt, I don't know :(... To say the least I'm hanging with my employer's family, which isn't a bad thing, they are saints, but I want MY FAMILY!! I'm being a BIG baby this year....

I truely believe that because of everything I've had to deal with good and bad this year, I am growing as a better person. I really miss my Grandmother, everyday I have thoughts at least once about her! I'm loving my life at the moment, but whose life is without stress and worry? I'm copping the best way I know how, and that is to set my heart and eyes on the Lord each and every moment of each day! I have been growing in Life in the most wonderful way possible.

Philippians 4:6 In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth me.

This year will come to a close with the semi annual training in Cali, and spending two split up weeks with my Parents in Big Bear, California. :D I'll be in California the last two weeks of Dec. and the first week in Jan 2012. I'm looking forward to the time off, and spending time with my "rents" :). The week in Anaheim, CA gaining the Lord and studying Pslams, being with ALL the saints 2011, will in fact have a perfect ending.

While 2012 approches, looking back on 2011... My first FULL blooded niece (my mother's first grandchild), Nora Azelea Greising being born Dec. 25th, 2010, She will be 1 years old Christmas day :)! I first got to meet her precious face at the end of January 2011. Feb. brought new beginnings, March brought my Golden birthday when I turned 26, on the 26th of March, along with the SE Blending spring conference the same weekend. April brought spring break and my first trip to visit my parents in Big Bear, California since they had moved there to serve the Lord full time once again. May. brought my sister Alissa's first wedding anniversary. June. brought my last family reunion with my Grandmother Doris Holloway being there. Summer break... Summer June and July off of work and spent in Rochester, MN with my niece Nora :) and her family getting to know my newly bro in law Ian. Also my last week with my Grandmother ever in Minneapolis, and spent with one of my favorite people in the world my cousin Jody. August brought summers end, and work. A trip to Jacksonville, FL for a SE fall blending conference. Sept. brought the death of my Grandmother, and another trip to Minneapolis, MN to spend time with family in a time of mourning. Oct. brought life, through the SE College age blending conference, "Drink the river of water of life to quench your thirst for the Lord!!"... Nov. brought my baby sister's 25th quarter of a century old birthday ;). and Dec. is going to bring new hope... plans for a new year... and a GREAT/ perfect end to what was a great yet REALLY hard year to live through.

I love my family and all my friends. For those of you reading this, thank you for being there for me this year. "it's been a year!" I'm grateful to have y'all in my life standing by my side, if not behind me ;).

Concerts

It's been a extremely LONG week...

Went to a great concert last weekend, here is one of the songs I recorded :)

Travellin Souls - Molly Parden

I have big plans for this weekend, tell more later :)

Excerpts from the Life study of Hebrews

The first item is that Sin has been put away. But suppose sin comes back. What will you do? Will you kneel down and pray, "O Lord, keep Your promise. Lord, You promised me to deal with sin, and now sin has come to bother me. Lord, keep Your word, Your promise to deal with sin." the Lord will never answer this kind of prayer. This is why the more you ask the Lord to deal with your temper, the more temper you will have. Whenever you pray in this way, the Lord will not answer you. What then shall we do if son comes to bother us? Simply say to sin, "Sin, where have you come from? Don't you know that you have been put away?" The putting away of sin is a bequest in the testament. Just be simple enough to declare it to be so. Very few Christians have this kind of faith. Even after I received this vision, a number of times I still prayed, "O Lord, take care of my temper. It's so hard, Lord, for me to overcome it. Lord, didn't you promise me?" although this may seem to be a good prayer, actually it is a foolish prayer.
