Answered Prayer in August

²⁰ For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen,
to the glory of God through us. ~ 2 Corinthians 1:20

Welcome August

Here we are entering our last month of summer. I hope yours has shined with good memories lingering with you. Ours has definitely had its beautiful sunshine accompanied by challenges here and there to overcome. Thankfully, we’ve seen the Master do amazing things for us.

I’m  often reminded of a book I read years ago by Amy Carmichael. She made a statement so very true: “Every day requires vital faith.”

This summer I’ve really been diligent watering my flowers and for the first time, we have the most beautiful blossoms on our patio. I am seeing the laws of sowing and reaping at work. My favorite is our jasmine plant that looks and smells heavenly. I’ve just planted a few strawberry plants as I think the grand girls will love watching these grow.

July and August are filled w family birthdays. Our two youngest grand girls will celebrate becoming 3 and 5. Both with be in their mama (Brennon’s) dance studio this year. This will be Cali’s first year to dance officially. She’s been dancing to recital videos with Caris all year at home so she’s well prepared.

Our oldest grandsons will be heading off to college. Austin had a great season pitching in a league in Kansas this summer. Chandler is going to a Christian school in Missouri called “Link Year”. I love the concept of the school – a link between high school and college for the student to become grounded in their faith before entering a full time college. He’s very excited about the program. Austin is excited about his second college year pitching. Braden enters his senior year in high school. He has spent the summer recovering from a football shoulder injury and surgery. He is so desiring be back playing before his senior year season ends. We have five older grandchildren that all within just a few years of age difference: four boys and one girl. Kylie is so precious. I’m sure it is hard being a girl in the midst of all these boy cousins. Kylie and Cameron will be juniors in High School this year.  Goodness they are all growing up so fast. We treasure time with them.

For the month of “Answered Prayer” August I wish to continue on this treasure hunt of uncovering secrets of the oldest of the old. There are some simple but powerful things we can do to stay young for a very long time. Join in with the posts to treasure hunt with me. Team Fabulous is learning strategies to take secrets to habits via our team teleconference calls and video PowerPoints. Join our team.

With Gods supernatural grace and ability I have a vision of the creation of an EBOOK including the Centenarian stories, secrets and strategies to be completed in August.
