About Looking for true inspirational stories
NEED WRITERS
PuckettBrowne Publishing (paying market) is scheduling two new books for 2009:

* Second Edition, One Touch from the Maker

* Escape from the Prison System

These are inspirational books of short true stories of times when the Lord intervened in tangible ways. What's your story? There will be no books without writers. Sign up for FREE writer's e-newsletter.

I will compile these books. I worked in clerical and as an editorial assistant for a Military magazine until I decided at the age of 30 to go to Kansas University. I graduated with a degree in Advertising and Editorial Art. I spent the next 20 years working in graphic art with the last 10 in computer graphics.

Call me Pat.

I'm a past-her-prime saved-by-grace compiler of the inspirational short stories book, One Touch from the Maker.

I'm also mother to one and gramma (Gray-a-mah according to my grandson) to four, plus a step. All my grandchildren are teenagers or older now.

I'm the only adult+ I know who keeps three comics sites in my bookmarks. Really love a good laugh.

I work Logic puzzles - though the older I get, the harder they get. I don't know why those publishers do that.

I love to create on the computer. Would love to know what artwork is being created wholly on the computer. I graduated from the University of Kansas and minored in English and writing. I worked for a Military magazine as editorial assistant for a time.

With strident confidence, American Congress for Truth founder Brigitte Gabriel rebukes the American public for being "weak, asleep or careless" in the face of Muslim terrorism. A Christian survivor of the extermination Lebanese Christians by the Muslim population in the 1970s, Gabriel leans on her own terrifying experiences to explain the very real threat of Islam, its imperialism, inherent bigotry, and violent nature.

He cried out to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a tree. When he cast it into the waters, the waters were made sweet. Exodus 15:25

The children of Israel had not gone far from the shore of the Red Sea when the realities of their new freedom began to register. They no longer enjoyed the ample food and water supply of Egypt. Now, after traveling 3 days into the wilderness, the large crowd had no water. And when they finally arrived at the oasis of Marah, the water was bitter (Ex. 15:23).

Thus the children of Israel were compelled to rely on a miracle. So they cried out to Moses, and Moses cried out to the Lord. The Lord showed him a tree, which Moses cast into the water. Miraculously, the water turned sweet.

The transformation of the water was a miracle akin to the plague of blood sent to Pharaoh and the Egyptians (Ex. 7:14-25). Egypt's clean water had been sullied with blood by the hand of the Lord. The lesson of Marah was clear the same hand that turned water into blood could turn bitter water into sweet. The same power that brought curses on Egypt could bring health to Israel.

If you have a seemingly impossible need today, remember that the hand that supplied your greatest need forgiveness of sin is the same hand that can adequately supply all your needs. Trust Him to accomplish things that seem impossible.

When our problems overwhelm us,
God wants us to look to Him;
He provides the right solutions
Lighting paths that once were dim.

Impossibilities compel us to rely on God and God delights in knowing so.

Blessings,
Annette

I have trusted in Your mercy I will sing to the Lord. (Psalm 13:5-6)

And since He bids me seek His face,
Believe His Word and trust His grace,
I'll cast on Him my every care,
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer.

Sometimes God doesn't grant our prayer requests right away. After a while we begin
to feel like the psalmist who said, "How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever?"
(Psalm 13:1).

I remember feeling like that on one occasion when I had come to God, confessed my sin,
and asked for forgiveness and a renewed sense of joy. It seemed as if God's ears were
closed to my cry. Only after continuing to pray and wait for a long time did I regain
the joy that I had sought.

In John 11, we read that Mary and Martha called for Jesus to come because their brother
Lazarus was very sick (vv.1-44). The Lord delayed and Lazarus died. When Jesus finally
did come, however, He gave them a whole new appreciation of His love and power.

Why do you suppose God often delays His answers or denies our requests? I think the answer
is this: When God withholds His hand, He wants us to look to His heart. In other words, He
wants us to learn more about His goodness and His love, and to trust Him to do what is best.

If He's withholding an answer to a request that is very important to you, just be patient.
Keep asking and believing. He may want you to look at His heart and to gain a new appreciation
for His wisdom and love.

So when God withholds His hand, trust His heart.
Blessings,
Annette

Good Afternoon my friend!

My prayer for you is that your life would be lived for the Almighty's will be done.

And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. Matthew 26:39
And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt. Mark 14:36
And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. Luke 22:40-42-44

Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you . . . (John 14:27)

Are you severely troubled right now? Are you afraid and confused
by the waves and the turbulence God sovereignly allows to enter
your life? Have you left no stone of your faith unturned, yet
still not found any well of peace, joy, or comfort? Does your
life seem completely barren to you? Then look up and receive the
quiet contentment of the Lord Jesus. Reflecting His peace is proof
that you are right with God, because you are exhibiting the freedom
to turn your mind to Him. If you are not right with God, you can never
turn your mind anywhere but on yourself. Allowing anything to hide the
face of Jesus Christ from you either causes you to become troubled or
gives you a false sense of security.

We become troubled because we have not been taking Him into account.
When a person confers with Jesus Christ, the confusion stops, because
there is no confusion in Him. Lay everything out before Him, and when
you are faced with difficulty, bereavement, and sorrow, listen to Him say,
"Let not your heart be troubled" ( John 14:27 ).


Peace and Blessings,
Annette

Matthew 5:3
Blessed (happy, to be envied, and spiritually prosperous with life joy and satisfaction in God's favor and salvation, regardless of their outward conditions) are the poor in spirit (the humble, who rate themselves insignificant), for theirs is the kingdom of heaven!

The teaching of the Sermon on the Mount produces a sense of despair in the natural man,which is exactly what Jesus means for it to do. As long as we have some self righteous idea that we can carry out our Lord's teaching, God will allow us to continue until we expose our own ignorance by stumbling over some obstacle in our way. Only then are we willing to come to Him as paupers and receive from Him. "Blessed are the poor in spirit" This is the first principle in the kingdom of God. The underlying foundation of Jesus Christ's kingdom is poverty, not possessions; not making decisions for Jesus, but having such a sense of absolute futility that we finally admit, "Lord, I cannot even begin to do it." Then Jesus says, "Blessed are you" (Matthew 5:11). This is the doorway to the kingdom, and yet it takes us so long to believe that we are actually poor! The knowledge of our own poverty is what brings us to the proper place where Jesus Christ accomplishes His work.

By the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain(1 Corinthians 15:10)

Love and Blessings,
Annette

Hi Friend!

I am asking for prayer, please stop by and read my newest blog.
Police Officer Andrew W. was shot in the face point blank and killed, he is close to people I know and leaves behind a wife and 3 little ones. He was a man of God.

I am also asking for us to intercede for all the people who are on the side of Christ, to put on the Armor of Light. If you can and will be in agreement please pray this prayer with me and the ones I send this to today!

Oh, Father in Heaven,
You know and see all as there is nothing that is hidden from You, You know all things before we even ask it, but because You want us to ask in our relationship with You, we ask Father to come boldly before your throne of Grace and we ask today that You cloth and dress Your children, and all of those on the side of Christ to be Armored in Light. We stand before You Father and ask for You to send your Holy Angels into the firmament to war against the powers of darkness and protect us with the Light of Christ as we move and know Your will be done. Father thank You so much for who You are and the gift You give to us of LIFE.
In Christ Jesus name I pray today, Amen!

Romans 13 ~ Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resists the power, resists the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he bears not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenge to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Wherefore you must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. For this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor. Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loves another hath fulfilled the law. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Love works no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put you on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

God's goodness undergirds our
lives in many silent ways;
His blessings are beyond compare
For them we give Him praise.

Every day people get up, get dressed, drive to work or school or the grocery store, and return safely to their families. No one knows how many times God has protected us from harm. But when there is a tragedy, we ask, "Where was God?" those are the times that Jesus weeps.

When I consider all the wonderful things that God does silently on my behalf each day (Isa. 25:1),
I realize that my list of praises should be much longer than my list of petitions. God keeps giving us reasons to praise Him and thats why we will praise him in every Situation even in the storms and in everything we give him praise.

I will praise Your name, for You have done wonderful things.(Isaiah 25:1)
Blessings,
Annette

Fountains of Blessings;
The water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life (John 4:14)

The picture our Lord described here is not that of a simple stream of water, but an overflowing fountain. Continue to "be filled" ( Ephesians 5:18 ) and the sweetness of your vital relationship to Jesus will flow as generously out of you as it has been given to you. If you find that His life is not springing up as it should, you are to blame something is obstructing the flow. Was Jesus saying to stay focused on the Source so that you may be blessed personally? No, you are to focus on the Source so that out of you "will flow rivers of living water" irrepressible life ( John 7:38 ).

We are to be fountains through which Jesus can flow as "rivers of living water" in blessing to everyone. It is not a blessing that you pass on, or an experience that you share with others, but a river that continually flows through you, Stay at the Source, closely guarding your faith in Jesus Christ and your relationship to Him, and there will be a steady flow into the lives of others.Amen.

Blessings,
Annette
