God spoke to me the night of Tuesday July 7, 2009
I always pray for the Holy Spirit to occupy the space in my heart, to fill it up to the full measure so I can be used for God’s glory, to build up the name of Jesus and to help those which are lost. I want to be more in tuned with the leading of the Holy Spirit, not my words or actions but His. As I am developing in this area I‘ve had a few growing pains, mostly my Lord disciplining me so I can become more like Him. He disciplines because He loves us, I think He loves me A LOT!
The bible tells us we will be persecuted for our faith. It doesn’t say “if” it says “when” So just recently my motives were questioned. Ben and I stayed up late to pray and sometime after falling asleep I heard Jesus say Luke 2:13. I woke up and politely asked Jesus to remind me in the morning. He kept me up all night saying Luke 2:13. I think He did this so many times because He knows I’m forgetful. I got up a little before 8 am. And opened my bible to Luke 2:13 and 13 runs into 14.
“Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom His favor rest”
The Lord told me, that I was praising Him to the Highest so Tara; have peace. I have found favor with you. It was exactly what I needed to hear from God. It had everything to do with what I was going through. My God is a GREAT God! And so faithful!
God spoke to me clearly. He also told me to pray for those who questioned my motives. Though they accuse me of doing wrong, they will see my good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us.
Talk to God. He will talk to you… And dont forget to Listen……

MJ'S Garden
Today we had our annual Mulder Family Reunion! A day of gathering that I am very thankful for. I had so many people come up and ask me for an update on my blog so here is goes in fast version:
Mom wasn't feeling so well in late June, she was stuck with sores in her mouth and on the tips of her fingers and some soreness on the bottom of her feet. She was also suffering with severe heartburn and was not able to eat or drink anything. She came down with a high grade fever so I ended up bringing her to the ER where they admitted her with what they first thought to be pneumonia but it turned out to be bronchitis. She was in for four days. Sometime after leaving the hospital she had an allergic reaction to some medicine and her hands swelled up so bad they almost busted open. They gave her prednisone and that helped and made her hyper! When she went in the following Wednesday for her lab work they wanted mom to stay for fluids and on the 9th of July she need to have a blood transfusion, her hemoglobin was at 7.
She made a decision on July 16th that she would stop the chemo and place everything in Gods hands. Psalm 91:2 I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." I absolutely believe that God has allowed mom to spend more time with us. I pray that I can make each day count. We were all very blessed this reunion to have her with us.
The sores are gone, the heartburn is away and she is feeling much better. Her hemoglobin is back to normal. PRAISE GOD! I took these photos of mom in her garden on July 16, 2009.
