Bandana Blessings!

Greetings!

I hope you all are enjoying this chilly Fall weather! I am totally loving it! Hot drinks, warm blankets, camp fires, roasted marshmellows, chili, veggie soup, scarves, jackets, gloves, and boots are just a few of my favorite things during this season. In addition to all these wonderful things-I really enjoy the beautiful fall colors. I love the leaves scattered everywhere.....God is such a PAINTER!!! =)

Recently, while in prayer-the Lord brought to my mind a story that my mother told me about something she did years ago. Our family had grown from three children to five, but our home was still only 2 bedrooms. My mother/father had tried to add two rooms on to the back of the house, only to barely get up some frame work....when the money ran out. For a while-my mother accepted the fact that the rooms may not get completed for a long time-if ever. Until one day-something rose up in her spirit! She remembered how the Apostle Paul sent out aprons and handkerchiefs that were anointed in order to see miracles and wonders performed. She decided to act on the word of God, and so she went to find some cloths to anoint. The first cloth she found was a red bandana handkerchief belonging to my father. She anointed it, cut it up into several small pieces, and began tacking those cloths to the unfinished boards and walls of those rooms. Believing God to perform miracles! She later went on to pass those cloths out to other people she knew, and encouraged them to expect blessings!

Some time passed and not only did all of the people she gave cloths to receive miracles and wonders in their lives, but also the rooms in our home were completed just as she asked of God! When the builders came in to complete the work-she told them to put the walls up over the cloths. I beleive that those walls are still protected by the power of God!

As I was remembering this story-I began to think about how so many people's lives are like those walls were that my mom was looking at. Too many times-we accept "unfinished walls" in our lives. Believing that things will never change, but God wants us to understand that just as he completed natural walls-he is STILL able to fix all things in our lives. So, as a leap of faith-I went and bought some red bandanas and anointed them just as my mom did. I put them in every room of my home, in my car, in my fence post outside, and in my purse. I even hung one on my clothes line outdoors! =) Some of my friends heard about this....and began to step out on faith with me. Some have brought me cloths to anoint. I have already mailed some out to people who live in other states as well as given cloths to a number of people at school and church. This has caught on! People are continuting to request these cloths and to step out on faith beliving that God is ABLE to complete things that are undone, to protect, to provide...to work all sorts of miracles!

If you read this and you too would like to excercise your faith-email me, or post a comment with your contact info, and I will send you some cloths too! There is NO telling what will do-IF we'll just believe!

Bless u all!
