Event:
New Hire comes, Anacel comes

Here and Now:
Slept long enough but I should have awakened at 5am coz I again reached 8 hours. I want to only sleep 5-6 hours. But I praise GOD I did not feel any pain in my heart as I awakened in the middle of the night because I prayed for Stephen and my Mother. But before I read the WORD GOD gave me today, I specifically asked the LORD, GOD Is it still Stephen? Because I honestly don't want it to be anymore. I want to go far away from home and live my own life, tired of serving and struggling with family.

Scriptures

Acts 6

English Standard Version

Seven Chosen to Serve

Now in these days when the disciples were increasing in number, a complaint by the Hellenists[a] arose against the Hebrews because their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution. And the twelve summoned the full number of the disciples and said, “It is not right that we should give up preaching the word of God to serve tables. Therefore, brothers,[b] pick out from among you seven men of good repute, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we will appoint to this duty. But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.” And what they said pleased the whole gathering, and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch. These they set before the apostles, and they prayed and laid their hands on them.

And the word of God continued to increase, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests became obedient to the faith.

Stephen Is Seized

And Stephen, full of grace and power, was doing great wonders and signs among the people.
Ruth 115 And she said, “See, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods; return after your sister-in-law.” 16 But Ruth said, “Do not urge me to leave you or to return from following you. For where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God my God. 17 Where you die I will die, and there will I be buried. May the Lord do so to me and more also if anything but death parts me from you.” 18 And when Naomi saw that she was determined to go with her, she said no more.

ObservationWOW! I am asking GOD if Stephen is still the man GOD wants for me to marry and HE gave me specifically an answer through HIS WORD of my daily bible reading in Acts 6 and Ruth 1. But the reason why I asked GOD is because I already do not want it to be Stephen, I want it to be someone else because I am sick and tired of working for my mother who is always getting herself in trouble.

ApplicationI need to wait, I need to keep believing and I cannot consider other people except Stephen because it is so clear and direct and if I disobey, then I am going to be punished and I don't want to disobey, I don't want GOD to be angry with me. May the LORD heal me, take care of me and help me to endure the long wait and to have faith and trust even with seeing the impossibility of my situation with Stephen. May the LORD cause my faith to rise and strengthen my TRUST in HIM.
PrayersDear AVI,My precious and loving heavenly FATHER! Great are YOU Adonai! Worthy of all Glory, honor and praise! LORD I want to acknowledge how YOU have answered my prayers for my dogs to find loving homes. I praise YOU and thank YOU that Cherry has now taken 2 dogs from us so she can love them with her family. I thank YOU that soon, other dogs will have their homes too. Thank YOU so much O GOD! YOU really used my frustration and anger to speak to my mom. I thank YOU and I pray that Mom will continue to be molded by YOUR discipline, deal with her continually and take away all her narcissism and selfishness because life is not about her. I pray that she will continue to surrender to YOU and to be soft hearted towards YOUR will. I pray O GOD that she will do what YOU want her to do and not to be stubborn to have reverend fear serving YOU. I pray O GOD that YOU will come to soon to take away all YOUR children from this evil world. I pray for Kim to continue to pray for what pains her because this is our labor with YOU in spiritual intercession. I pray for Stephen to open his heart to YOU and follow YOU all the days of his life. I pray that he will unknowingly fall in love with me and accept it and pursue me because YOU want me to marry him according to YOUR WORD let it be done unto us in the Name of YESHUA for YOURS is the power and the glory forever!
In JESUS Amen!
