[prayercloth sis]

Only 10....

1. Wedding Day...June 6 1987....this year 20 years! To God Be the Glory!

2. Birth of our eldest son Griffin Michael....March 4, 1990....so awesome!

3. Birth of our middle son Brittian Glynn...March 21, 1991....absolutely amazing!

4. Birth of our baby girl Elisabeth Grace...September 27, 1996....it's as close to heaven as it gets when a lil one enters this world!

5. The day they each were baptized and the day they each received the baptism of the Holy Ghost as the Spirit gave the utterance. (Griff received it on Mother's Day 2000, Britt FEb. 4th 2000, and Elisabeth June 16th 2006.

6. The day God miraculously healed my mother from an aneurism that had burst in her head. He gave us three more years to spend with her. To God be ALL the glory! Drs. said she was dying..and nothing they could do. We know the Great Physician...Jesus Christ...

7. God healed me from viral spinal menigitis....which had spread into my spinal colum and brain....started with sinus infection and spread into the following... bronchititus, double ear infection and strep throat & was completely dehydrated from fasting..& praying.....drs. said I should have been dead 3 days prior to getting to the hospital.....they could find no medical reason for me being alive....I told them his name is JESUS! 4 days later...completely healed...and God paid my $6000.00 hospital bills...that's anothe story in itself...

8.Several spiritual children the Lord has allowed me to pray with when he filled them with the sweet Holy Ghost...Hannah, Jay, Lisa, Daniel, Hayden, and many, many more..there's nothing like seeing a child receive the Holy Ghost.

9. Ministering at my first ladies conference. Very humbling experience.

10. My very first footwashing...I had prayed and ask the Lord for my hair to grow long enough to dry my sisters feet with it for the first foot washing...then forgot what I prayed and as I began washing Sis Belinda's feet...(mother of child who is confined to a wheel chair and lil Larry has never talked, walked,...etc...and she continues to take great care of him)...my barette fell to the floor and my hair fell into the wash basin..and the Lord reminded me...like Mary Magdalene...he delivered me from so much...thank you Lord Jesus. The look on her face as I began to dry her feet with my hair..priceless....what an humbling experience in the Lord...many many tears....

11. Had to add one more...playing our own music at Valley View Mall in Dallas TX 2 years ago at Christmas and finding out that Phillips Craig and Dean had started out there on the same stage...just way tooo cool.... & got to see 3rd Day in Tyler TX...cried and prayed the whole concert...

Sooooo many more...thanks for the great thread...and allowing me to share...brought back some very wonderful memories...

Blessings to you all...

[MRSEYESHIGHER]

This was a cool question, it got me thinking, so not in this order necessarily:
1- always having known Jesus, i count that a great blessing.
2- my wedding day to my BEST friend and Best support, Martyn.
3- my eldest daughter,
4- my son
5- my next daughter
6- my last child, another gorgeous little girl!
7- realising my life ambition to be a nurse, and in intensive care.
8- realising my other life ambition, to be a stay at home mum, and retire at 31 from nursing!!
9- after a telephone call at 01.48am saying our 2nd daughter was being resuscitated in the intensive care unit, and getting to the hospital 18mins later discovering they had been successful, and she was alive!
10 - hearing the consultant tell us that our girl had dramatically improved and so did NOT now need a heart transplant and was now expected to make a full recovery. This followed tremendous support and prayers from our church family, including a special day of fasting and praying!
OUR GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD!!!!!!!!!
PS> she now has only 2 drugs to be stopped, and is doing soooo well!
PPS. my first 3D concert was fab, but doesn't quite make the list!:D

[EYESHIGHER]

My wife (MRSEYESHIGHER) put down her top ten on this thread and yes, she is knew to the boards and needs to be moderated (apparently - I think shes lovely!) but its been a couple of days and it still hasn't appeared. How long should it take?:(

[MRSEYESHIGHER]

Hey I'm here, so thanks, my hubbie is great and so caring!!

[EYESHIGHER]

Suppose I better put my top 10 down - tricky.....
It'll be something like this....

1. Having the most wonderful children on the planet. (No offence to anyone who has a different view!_)
2. Having the best wife on the planet (No offence to anyone who has a different view!_)
3. Knowing a God who heals, who forgives , who loves me with sooooo much amazing grace!
4. Seeing Third Day in Cardiff
5. Seeing Bristol City Football Club in Cardiff
6. Being in a church that cares for its community more than itself! (Is this cheating as it is not really a moment?)
7. Going to Bristol Zoo with the WHOLE family the day after my little Maddi-Jo came out of Hospital (Praise God!)
8. The last time I ate some of my wifes White chocolate and raspberry cheescake! (Wow!!)
9. Going on Oblivion at Alton Towers for the first time!
10. Finishing this difficult list at last!

1: Sharing my story at the Todd Agnew boards get together in KC last december. it was the first time i had told a group my story and i was so nervous, but i did it.

8: getting my tattoo

9: when i realised that Christianity wasn't about "you can't" and that it was about being free from the burdens i carry

10: sitting here knowing that my life is going to improve day by day because my relationship with Christ is going to grow stronger and i am going to learn how to see myself more realistically.

Oh Angela, you made me cry.
I have so come to love watching your relationship with God grow over the past few years.
For only 22 years, you have come into you own. That usually doesn't happen until way later in life!

Am I too old for a tattoo? I so want one. Always have, but what will my kids say?

Thank you for blessing me, today!
Angie

5. Getting married to my wonderful husband (and then renewing our vows 10 yrs. later).
6. The last day of work before I became a stay-at-home mom.
