I pray that you and I are hopeful and grateful as we anticipate and that we encourage young ones to be hopeful, trusting and grateful, my friend and brother-in-Christ SGT (Join to see).
LORD YOUR timing I always perfect. Even though we are created in YOUR image we often execute timing less than perfectly. I pray LORD that each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters apologize when we miss the timing and that YOU enable us to do better to meet the desires of those we love.
LORD YOU use delay to increase our Holy Spirit fruit of patience. Most of recognize that waiting can increase pleasure when the desire is actually fulfilled.
We desperately need help in blessing others in ways they want to be blessed. Give each of us wisdom dear God to understand how and what to do for others that they desire to be done for them.
Enable us to be blessings in the lives of those YOU lead us to interact with all the days of our lives.

We are in anticipation of severe weather in North Central Texas tonight. This includes the real chance of scattered tornadoes. We are in the Spring tornado season here in Texas. For me anticipation of a tornado is a bad thing. I choose to anticipate the good things with joy but in either case I believe preparation is in order for both the good and the bad. In my aging I am changing my focus of anticipation to the spiritual anticipation in which I am every day preparing for the anticipation of the return of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I am sharing the following from sermoncentral.com about the Spiritual Discipline of Anticipation. Be blessed my RP Family.

The Spiritual Discipline Of Anticipation

Let me ask you, what are you trusting God for? Where are you practicing the spiritual discipline of anticipation?
Scripture: Ephesians 3:20
Tags: Preaching, anticipation, active faith, Possible with God
Anticipation is a great word. It is a cousin to expectation, excitement, faith, and suspense. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines anticipation as “a feeling of excitement about something that is going to happen. :the act of preparing for something.”
Shouldn’t those words also define our attitude about preaching.
Sadly, the more years we serve in ministry, the less anticipation and faith they can demonstrate in our preaching. We can begin to rely on our experience, our communication skills, and our sermon preparation to win the day.
So often when I have done sermon preparation I have approached it as a deadline to meet or a task to be completed. And what has been missing is the element or faith or anticipation. I think a great question that every pastor should have as part of their sermon preparation is…
“What do I want and hope and believe that God will do through this message?” It is a question that reveals anticipation and faith.
This theme of faith and anticipation weaves its way through all of Scripture. It was faith that led Noah to build an ark for 120 years. It was faith that caused Abraham to be willing to offer his son Isaac as a sacrifice. It was the faith of a Roman Centurion who anticipated that if Jesus just uttered the word, his son would be healed.
In fact, Hebrews 11:6 states that it is impossible to please God without faith. What is it about “faith” that makes God smile? Faith requires us to look beyond ourselves for answers. Anticipation drives us to look to God and place our hope and trust in Him. Faith also pleases God because it creates an opportunity for him to reveal his power.
Jesus reminds us, “What is impossible with men is possible with God”. Our faith, no matter the size, puts the wheels of heaven into motion.
II Kings 4 provides a tangible illustration of faith. This chapter opens by introducing us to a grieving widow of a nameless prophet. Her grief over his death is superceded by the realities of the life she is left with. He has left her in debt and with no means of providing for her two sons. In ancient days creditors could repossess your children just like a car you stopped making payments on. She had not only lost her husband, but was in real danger of losing her sons to slavery.
In desperation, she cries out to Elisha who asks her “What do you have in your house?” With a little embarrassment, she reveals the hopelessness of her situation. She says “Your servant has nothing there at all, except a little oil.”
Elisha then gives a curious response. He tells her to go to her neighbors and gather as many empty jars as possible. He even adds “Don’t ask for just a few”.
He then instructs her to go inside her house, shut the door, and begin to pour oil into the jars she has collected.
This seems like a strange suggestion, but her situation is hopeless. What does she have to lose?
What she does in that next moment reveals her faith. Every house she went to was a step of faith. Every request for a jar was an expression of anticipation. She knew she only had a little oil and that it would require a miracle for all these jars to be filled with oil. Every jar she collected gave God greater opportunity to reveal himself and his power.
Imagine the scene as she closes the door of her house. Jars are stacked everywhere. Jars of every size and every shape sit in her house. Standing beside her are her two sons. They are about to witness up close and personal a miracle that they would tell and re-tell hundreds of times during the course of their life.
This widow then looks into the one jar that is hers. In that jar is a small amount of oil. Her faith wavers. Was this just the wild idea of Elisha or was this really from God? But there was also a flicker of anticipation that this could be God’s provision. She tilts her hand and the oil rolls over the edge of the jar and begins to pour into the empty jar. She looks into her jar and there is still oil. It keeps flowing until the first jar is full to the brim.
She stops, looks at her boys and their anticipation soars. The widow doesn’t linger long. She takes another jar and again slowly begins to fill it. And then she fills a third jar. And a fourth. And a fifth. Jar after jar is filled and she looks around the room, she sees God’s gracious provision.
She asks her son to bring her the next jar. But he replied that there were no more jars. The Bible says that it was just then that the oil stopped flowing. God’s provision matched her faith exactly. Not one drop more, not one drop less.
Let me ask you, what are you trusting God for? Where are you practicing the spiritual discipline of anticipation?
Would you dare to still believe the word of the apostle Paul? “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,” Ephesians 3:20 (NIV)

PO2 David Dunlap - the news is showing that the storms have been increasing in strength coming my way. Bummer. We have been lucky the past two years in that the storms have not really been that bad right over the top of us. We can only anticipate that will happen this time.

Good Sir, 'Bomb' Cyclone IMHO is a DEEP STATE SHADOW GOVERNMENT U.S. PSA for Weather Warfare Battlefield Shaping in a veiled manner akin to the antique Arizona 'Phoenix Lights' Holographic Battlefield shaping under C in C Gov. Symington and IMHO Christ will NOT soon return. IMHO, YOU have at least @150 Lunar Cycle years remaining, but none know the day yet we can approximate the year because God's FRAG is clear:
American Standard Version
Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold........ (666)
American Standard Version
Here is wisdom. He that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man: and his number is Six hundred and sixty and six. (666)
The way United States Constitution of 1789 speaks about money has long puzzled observers. Why does it speak so little about money, people ask, and when it does treat the subject, why the weird specific fashion?
Here is all the Constitution says about the money power of the government. From Article I, Section 8, there is “Congress shall have Power…to coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin.” And from Section 10, “no state…shall make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts.” That’s 27 words, some of them offbeat or capitalized like in German, pertaining to monetary policy in the founding document of the government of the United States.
Thus, Good Sir, it is abundantly clear that the trans dimensional Nephilim DNA eugenic ENEMY shall control all money on earth. WHEN ? A few short years before this:
The Day of the LORD
…18Woe to you who long for the Day of the LORD! What will the Day of the LORD be for you? It will be darkness and not light. 19It will be like a man who flees from a lion only to encounter a bear, or who enters his house and rests his hand against the wall, only to have a serpent bite him. 20Will not the Day of the LORD be darkness and not light, even gloom with no brightness in it?…
Berean Study Bible
According to tradition, the Hebrew calendar started at the time of Creation, placed at 3761 BC. The current (2018/2019) Hebrew year is 5779.
Thus, I conclude 221 Lunar Cycle years remain having a + or - 70 year error by Babylonian Exile chrono error. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_6000
We still expect: FEBA SECTOR AZAL
Zechariah 14:1-5 The Sack of Jerusalem
1 Behold, a day of the LORD is coming, when the spoil taken from you will be divided in the midst of you. 2 For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city shall be taken and the houses plundered and the women ravished; half of the city shall go into exile, but the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city. 3 Then the LORD will go forth and fight against those nations as when he fights on a day of battle. 4On that day his feet shall stand on the Mount of Olives which lies before Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives shall be split in two from east to west by a very wide valley; so that one half of the Mount shall withdraw northward, and the other half southward. 5 And the valley of my mountains shall be stopped up, for the valley of the mountains shall touch the side of it; and you shall flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the LORD your God will come, and all the holy ones with him.
