My Birthday - July 11 and the tent party,


My birthday was a total blessing starting with the scripture God gave me from "The Message Bible"

Psa 2:7,8 - "And today is your birthday. What do you want? Name it: Nations as a present? continents as a prize? You can command them all to dance for you!"

That morning I spoke at the International Church of Budapest ...and they danced during worship. A first, I think. God is true to His word and I am asking Him for the nations!!

Thanks for all the cards, e-cards, e-mails, and face book greetings. Talking to my son and grandchildren was the icing on the cake that day.
The photo above is my neighbors delivering a birthday cake, flowers and some beautiful needlework. They don't look happy because they also came to apologize. Their daughter and her cousin (in picture) had gotten permission from me to tent out in my yard the evening before. The 2 girls in one tent became 6 girls in 3 tents - No problem I said - until the boys started hanging over my front fence!! What was I thinking!! The next day, they came bearing cake and the report that 32 youth were in my yard!! Mercy me, I must have slept right through that! I am now praying about helping someone start a youth ministry for this village. Any ideas who to ask?

We made a great team that day and it was so good to see our African friends especially dancing like David danced! It is amazing what God can do if we are just obedient. I told you Sandor didnt want to do the song that allowed God's Spirit to break through because he didn't know it as well in English as in Hungarian. I can't even dance!! So God has a great sense of humor and all things work together for good to them that love him and are the called according to HIS PURPOSES!!

Love you,
Patricia

February 4,5 Alpha Holy Spirit Retreat Hollókö, Hungary

Image
Last Friday I traveled to Hollókö, Hungary to meet with my Hungarian friend. Nora. Nora is leading her second Alpha Course in her village. From there we traveled to another village for an overnight retreat.  10 ladies and some children attended. The Holy Spirit was so faithful to demonstrate Himself in our midst giving encouraging words as we prayed together,  refilling some and baptizing some for the first time.  It was a very precious time. If God lays it on your heart please be praying for these ladies. The 10 ladies were from 6 different villages in Nograd county (and me,too). In none of the villages are living churches but most of these ladies are "keys" to living prayer groups. Nora has been working in one of the villages and is now in the process of setting up a small retreat center. After our weekend she took me there to pray. She and her husband were able to acquire a small "prayer" house, which was once a Baptist prayer house which is next to a home they...

We had a really good night last night - kind of...

My brother Jack and his wife Debby just arrived back from Florida where Jack was trying to hide out from having to face a "big" birthday. So my sister Kathi and I decorated his house to welcome him home - and left him a card that said "You can run, but you can't hide! :-). Some of you know Jack by his more common name "No rules for kids, Uncle Jack". Well, mom really enjoyed visiting with Jack and Debby and as a result she stayed up until 10.30. Most nights she can only sleep for about 5 hours tops and even then gets up a number of times. That means I get up with her :-). Night before last that was at 1.30, 4, 6 and 7!! So when this morning I realised I had been able to sleep through the night I was more concerned than relieved. I checked my monitor and yes it was working and finally turned on the light to check and see if mom was ...alive. Do you remember the first night your baby slept all the way through to morning? You awake with a start and run in...

Chocolate chip cookies

Image
My mom who was a very good cook and baker, was famous for her chocolate chip cookies. Since she can no longer make them I took it upon myself to "try" to perfect the recipe. This is my latest attempt. (Last weeks were enjoyable but not in the running) Two brothers independently rated them at 8.5 out of 10 - 10 of course would be just like moms. This score could even climb to 9 depending on how they taste frozen. Mom often baked at night and would leave "some" out on a plate and the rest hidden in the freezer so they would last longer. Of course we figured that out pretty quickly and now prefer them frozen. You may like yours golden and crispy but there is a secret ingredient in these and a way to bake them that makes them soft and oh so yummy!!
