Good evening,
I cannot find my green card and Eva cannot find her card. Please pray for us that we can find it. The more I am thinking about this trip, and if by God's grace we will be able to go, this can be an excellent opportunity to share about the very soon coming of Jesus.
Please make a point to put a time a side for this trip, lets ask God to prepare us to be his vessel.
Have a great night
love

DVD

Hi,

we just finished watching the sermon Zuzka mailed us. Wow! That's all I can say. Who knows, maybe the trip is all in God's plan for us, who knows what happens in two months time, huh?...

Song selections

Can we get a run down of songs that were planned to appear on the CD so we can evaluate the difficulty of arrangements of the songs, etc.? It would be helpful to see them all in one place.

Thanks,

Kamil

Iko, Chelsea ti chtela ty slova napsat ale kdyz jsem nasla slova uz natisknute tak to vzdala

I’m Trying to Be like Jesus

1. I’m trying to be like Jesus;
I’m following in his ways.
I’m trying to love as he did, in all that I do and say.
At times I am tempted to make a wrong choice,
But I try to listen as the still small voice whispers,

2. I’m trying to love my neighbor;
I’m learning to serve my friends.
I watch for the day of gladness when Jesus will come again.
I try to remember the lessons he taught.
Then the Holy Spirit enters into my thoughts, saying:

Chorus
“Love one another as Jesus loves you.
Try to show kindness in all that you do.
Be gentle and loving in deed and in thought,
For these are the things Jesus taught.”

John 13:15

John 13:34

praise God, The Lord is working in our lives.
I am so thankful for getting this wake up call. As I was in church today I realized majority of people do not even want to be woken up. Like someone told me "Do you want to be part of this club of part of this movement?" There is a great difference.
I think I do have that book at home Ika, I need to look for it. I do realized I do have a lot of work to do with my children. While I was "sleeping" I did neglect the most important work and that is helping my children to be ready for Jesus.
Please let us pray for each other, if some of you do not have children take the time to pray for us parents and for our children. Time is coming soon that will require them to be strong in Christ.
hope to hear from you soon
God be with you

Our Testimony...

Hi everyone, since Zuzka shared with everyone their testimony on how God is working in their lives... I thought I'd share this, probably unexpected one of our own.

As many of you know, we've been going through some tough times with the company, and still do. I, as a person with mild OCD, am always trying to have schedules, make sure we stick to it, or otherwise things won't get done, and that makes me little more stressed out than I should be. And also, many of you know, and have seen in person the gigantic TV we bought year and a half ago. We've since enjoyed High Definition programing, with hundreds of channels... But when you have something like this, how do you turn it off, when it has so much to offer?... I started feeling enslaved to this TV. It had more power over me, than I had over IT. So, last Thursday, I felt this strong urge (I know now it was the Holy Spirit speaking...), to just get rid of it, but then I though, Johnny will never agree to it. That's his only form of entertainment in his crazy life. I can't take it away from him. And I started forgetting about it...

About two hours later Johnny comes home, he sits down in the living room, the TV is not even on, because I've decided to start keeping it off as much as possible, and says out of the blue: "How do you feel about getting rid of this (pointing at the TV)". I had chills running up and down my spine. Then I told him about how I felt this strong urge to get rid of the TV about couple of hours ago. All I said then was, are you 100% sure? And he said firmly "YES". I called DirecTV, and within 10 minutes we were disconnected. I mean, we still had channels for the next few hours, but neither one of us felt like we wanted to turn it on.

For those of you, who don't have a TV, you may not understand, what this feels like, but I can tell you, it's very liberating. Our home is a lot more peaceful, our lives seem to be a lot more managable.

Yes, the financial crisis America is facing is no joking matter. But what happened, happened partially as a result of people spending beyond their means, because these big corporate fish are greedy, and they get millions and millions in salaries, and everyone keeps wanting to get more and more. The way it's affecting us, personally is that we know, this is all a part of prophecy, that needs to be fulfilled, before Jesus comes. The last time we had our TV on, we've watched the CNN on Thursday morning, and Johnny quoted a verse to me, that is being fulfilled through what's happening right now. So, in all honestly, this doesn't scare me. It has to happen. We'll just have to trust Him to do His will in our lives.

As far as the CD goes, I was actually happy to hear, that the CD was potentially off the table. The trip is costing us a lot of money already, which we're still unsure where we'll get it from... So, to have this cut off from our expense list, would actually be a blessing...

Kamil, when you get a chance, could you please get me the words to that children's song? I have a hard time understanding sometimes what they are singing...

Ika

P.S. if anyone wants a great read on parenting, go get yourself a book by Stormie Omartian The Power of a Praying Parent. I bought it when the boys were born, but never actually have a time to read it. I've been enjoying it very much. Some of you may have already read Power of a Praying Wife or Woman. It's the same author, same series.
