\"\"<\/a>I was awakened before dawn this morning, to read, journal, listen, and meditate on what the Lord might be doing and saying, especially to me personally. There is a lot swirling around in our realm at the moment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We sold our home yesterday, so we\u2019re homeless for the first time in many years. But we\u2019re scheduled to close on a home in Northwest Arkansas later today. And we\u2019re building a cabin at a different location. So life for us has gone in the last couple months from a great deal of peace to considerable chaos. Yet we\u2019re feeling led to make all these changes, and experiencing considerable peace in the storm, praise be to God for His nearness and leading.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But my reason for blogging early this morning is not about us. It\u2019s about my friend Jeff, who has a lot going on in his realm this weekend too! He\u2019s a good man and a good friend who\u2019s helped me a number of times in natural matters and spiritual ones. I\u2019ll share a couple things he shared with me recently that will give you an idea of where his heart and mind are. \u201cThe Bible tells us a couple of amazing things about faith: [1] It pleases God, and [2] It moves mountains.\u201d He also said at breakfast recently, \u201cMost of the problems in our country would be solved if Christians just read their Bibles every day.\u201d All of this struck me as profound, and true.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m late to this fight, with all that\u2019s going on around me, but I want to ask you to help this brother in two ways, right now. Pray for him and his wife in these two initiatives I\u2019m about to share, both of which are going on this weekend. Then make these things known to your friends, and do anything you feel led to do.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Awaken the Dawn<\/a> is a national movement of simultaneous worship and prayer for our nation in all fifty state capitols and many college campuses. Jeff and his wife are the Arkansas<\/a> state coordinators. It\u2019s happening in Little Rock and across the land even now. Please pray for their mission and purposes to be blessed by God, and pray to God for our nation.<\/p>\n

Besides owning and operating a small business in NWA, Carter\u2019s AV,<\/a>\u00a0and being involved in their church, missions, and other kingdom activities, Jeff and his wife are film makers! They have produced a documentary film about Dogpatch USA,<\/a> the theme park located near Harrison and Jasper Arkansas that was in operation for several years and may have touched your lives if you\u2019re in our five state region. It\u2019s opening this weekend in theaters across the country. Click here<\/a> if you\u2019re interested in seeing where it\u2019s showing, and please tell others. Thanks!<\/p>\n

May God bless you Jeff, your family, your friends, and whatever you put your hand to do. Godspeed on your weekend, and your life\u2019s journey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
