Momma Bean in the Mountains

checkpoint---t-minus 8 hours and counting and this ole gal enters a whole new decade of life. How do I feel? Fan-freaking-tastic. Honestly. I found out at 19 Jesus WAS the Christ, the son of the living God. At 36, after a catastrophic breakdown, found out JUST HOW MUCH I NEEDED HIM (for apart from Him I truly can do nothing) and at 39 I found out I was an ARTIST? Talk about a late bloomer! ---Went  to see an amazing CRNP today (Danny Moon w/ Garrett Medical Group to anyone in that practice...he works out of Deep Creek office) waited literally, no joke over 3 hours, but HE IS WORTH waiting for  smile emoticon  --- in fact I might even make him a keychain that says that  smile emoticon  (or an office sign out of pallet wood!) --- but we laughed and I told him I feel better (mentally and emotionally and even physically than I ever have in my entire life!) --- but because of a few physical reminders that I actually *AM* turning 40 -- I left with the receptionist ...

So I HAVE to give a shout out to just HOW AMAZING and REAL God is. Okay -- I know that I am nothing without Him and apart from Him I can do nothing! -- having said that ---- Christ IN ME is the hope of glory. --- OKAY, so this past weekend I got to visit a fellowship of believers in another geographical region and I had never been to this place before so I literally knew nobody! (except my friend who I RECENTLY met, who took me) Well this non-denominational gathering of believers had a team of pastors during worship/music time in front say "we believe in calling the elders, anointing with oil and that the prayer of faith can heal the sick" so they called anyone sick in mind/heart/body to come up. I kind of fell in line behind, because I really like to lay my hands on the sick and pray for them (because in the bible we are told to? and I have seen miracles...it's cool... but anyway ...) this one couple went up and I wasn't sure who was sick? the dude or the chic...
