Have you seen Him yet today? I love seeing God in everyday places. Just last week I saw Elohim (Creator God) as I enjoyed His magnificent Pacific Ocean outside our beach house vacation spot; Upon returning home, I thanked Jehovah Jireh (The Lord will Provide) for His umbrella of grace that protected a cardboard box of my books left out in the rain by the mail carrier; And daily I rely on of El Shaddai Who replaces my Never Enough (energy, patience, creativity) with His More than Enough. For the past 25 years I have lived my life in the names of God. Living in the names of God. What does that mean? I’ve written two books about it, however, my five-year-old granddaughter Brianna answered the question in three short sentences recently. “Mom, where is God?” popped out of her mouth one morning as our daughter Elizabeth was driving her to school.” “In Heaven,” her mom answered. “No, mom, He’s sitting in the front seat next to you.” “Good Morning, God, how are You?” her mom replied. “Mom, He says He loves you,” was Brianna’s inspired response. As Christmas 2014 draws near and the New Year 2015 rounds the corner, I want to help others experience His presence. Therefore, I am making available my Living in the Names of God books as a gift option for family members and friends on your Christmas list. The books contain God stories and Bible study lessons designed: To help the reader fathom the reality that God is in the front seat next to them, He loves them and is even their Personal Cheerleader. Case in point: I learned of Sherry’s story just yesterday through a mutual friend, Darlene, who told me of Sherry’s recent ordeal with severely swollen and pain-ridden hands. Weeks of testing resulted in a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. Come to find out Sherry is a lover of teddy bears, frequently giving them to hospice patients that she visits. So no one was surprised when she bought herself a teddy bear to accompany her to her many medical appointments. She named her companion bear RA for rheumatoid arthritis. When friend Darlene heard the RA teddy bear story, she was excited to tell Sherry about my JEHOVAH RAAH chapter in my Living in the Names of God book. “Jehovah RAAH, RAAH, RAAH is the Shepherd God who cheers on His little lambs, when we hurt or are afraid,” Darlene explained to Sherry. Immediately Sherry switched the teddy bear’s name from RA to RAAH, as she recognized the presence of her Shepherd Cheerleader in her arthritis journey. Cognizant of His presence, Sherry was able to replace the RA (rheumatoid arthritis) with RAAH, the cheers of her ever-present God, Who wrapped her in His Promise: Fear not, Little Lamb, I’m here with you and everything’s going to be alright. Sherry’s spirit is calmed as she connects the dots, Shhh…It’s Him. And that’s my prayer for you, for your family, for your friends – that you all will catch yourself saying “Shhhh….It’s Him” as you recognize His comforting and empowering presence in the days ahead. Christmas Special Gift Set I am offering my two books – Living in the Names of God and its companion Living in the Names of God Bible Study for $20 per set. That includes FREE gift wrapping. I look forward to personalizing them with the name of the recipient and with your name as the gift giver. Payment Details You may place your order and make your payment as follows:
