Our Father - This is not the beginning.

Usually, when I begin writing, I employ the Maria Von Trapp philosophy of starting from the very beginning.  However, to start at the beginning at this point, I think, would deprive you of some wonderful things that have been happening.  Perhaps I am jumping in at the deep end, but those who have been called, I believe, will come back for the actual beginning.  This is just a little appetiser of the miracles that are performed by The Almighty, Creator of the Universe.  My Elohim.

The Texas Legislature sits for six months every two years, and for the past six years, we have seen miracles. Six years ago there were forces of evil that took over the Capitol.  To cut a long story short, a very bad piece of legislation made its way through the Senate and had passed through the House Committee.  It was stopped and never came back to the House Floor for a vote.  Three days before the end of the session, the whole bill was added to another bill, which was vitally important, and it was thought to be impossible to win the battle.  No one was willing to stop the passage of the bill as it was too crucial.  One representative said that her constituents would never forgive her if she voted against it, or in anyway did anything to 'kill the bill'.  However, we prayed.  We prayed and listened.  It was a tough time for me as, although I had been a believer for several years, I had not really had the ability to trust.  I came home on the Thursday afternoon, exhausted and stressed. I sat down and picked up a copy of the scriptures and read.  We read the Psalm of the day (if it is the 4th, we read psalm 4) and then every 30th Psalm.  (This way, we read all the psalms each month)  I came downstairs, attempting to be at one with my Father, and felt the need to fast.  I listened to the Spirit, made dinner for everyone else and did not eat that night, nor the next day.  I did not fast because I thought it would 'help', I fasted because I believed I was doing my Father's will. 

The next day, several reps got up and questioned the bill.  It would appear that over night, constituents would now never forgive their reps if they let the bill pass.  The offensive language was stripped and the other items amended.  It was, indeed, a miracle. 

This session we are dealing with the same problem.  I wont go into details as it is irrelevant, but what we are dealing with is both unlawful and unconstitutional, which is not righteous. However, unrighteousness has been rife throughout.  In order to gain support, there have been a lot of 'half truths' and even more blatant lies told.  I must make it quite clear at this point that it is not simply that I don't want certain laws to be made as it may have an adverse effect on the way I live, it is because of its unconstitutional content.   Amazingly enough, we have seen Our Father work in such mysterious ways. He has taken everything of consequence out of the picture. 

We still have a little way to go but we know that as long as we do His Will, and do it because we desire to do it, not because it's a chore, He will give us the desire of our heart.  The desire of our heart should be to do His Will.
