THE LAMBS OF NISAN (choosing the family's Passover Lamb was done on the tenth day of Nisan to prepare it for the Passover meal)

"Tell the whole community of Israel that on the tenth day of this month each man is to take a lamb for his family, one for each household." ~Exodus 12:3

On the tenth of Nisan, Jesus fulfills this...

"As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her c**t by her. Untie them and bring them to me. If anyone says anything to you, say that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.”
This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:
“Say to Daughter Zion,
‘See, your king comes to you,
gentle and riding on a donkey,
and on a c**t, the foal of a donkey.’”
The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them. They brought the donkey and the c**t and placed their cloaks on them for Jesus to sit on. A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted,
“Hosanna to the Son of David!”
“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”
“Hosanna in the highest heaven!”
When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?”
The crowds answered, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”
~Matthew 21:1-11

JESUS WAS THAT PERFECT LAMB!
"Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!" ~John 1:29

They will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings—and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers.
~Revelation 17:14

How beautiful on the mountains
are the feet of those who bring good news,
who proclaim peace,
who bring good tidings,
who proclaim salvation,
who say to Zion,
“Your God reigns!”
~Isaiah 52:7

This was one of the most important and EXCITING things we were able to share with the children and their families while in the Villa Rosa community!
Three days, we were able to walk in their community and visit them in their homes proclaiming the love of Jesus and the gospel to them; along with giving them clothes for each of their children! They were so beautiful to accept us, the things that we gave, and to love us back with great appreciation!
As the team's photographer, I was able to get some great shots on these three journeys. This photo was taken on our final day in that community 3/11/22

if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
~2Chronicles 7:14

As I sit here listening to this beautiful song, it brings tears to my eyes just hearing the words of God's great LOVE for me and measures He WILL take for me....and for you too!!

Here's last week's WOW GOD STORY for you...
Last week was a rough, long week for me! I hadn't been so very depressed since I suffered from postpartum depression after the birth of my son 22 years ago. Many may not know, but I have been suffering from excruciating pain in my left foot since last July, but I never took the time to slow down and just rest to find healing. I just kept "pushing through" the pain, never stopping until this past spring, my last attempt to get better before having to have surgery on my foot which would have required 6 months of recovery. The last option for me, "a summer of physical therapy," my foot doctor said. I've had to turn down many invitations to have fun adventures with my friends and stay at home even when I've thought of things for my husband and I to do. But, through all of this suffering, God has brought me wisdom through all the prayers everyone has spoken for me, prayers I have spoken, and all the tears I have cried as I continued to praise and seek Him! And if you said some for me, I THANK YOU from the deepest part of my heart!

Last week on Thursday when I went in for my PT session, the receptionist told me my insurance company denied me any further sessions because " no improvement had been made".... I was like, " But I really need this!" I have yet to hear if they will give me more! I opened my medicine cabinet and spotted my bottle of "muscle cramp and tension supplement" and thought maybe, just maybe it would help my Achilles tendon so I started a regiment of it and am still taking it. As my week progressed, it has brought some relief for me. I just need to not over do things yet as I still have a bit of pain as I do...I'm so very happy and excited, praising God that I may not need any more PT! I'll just continue regiment and PT exercises here at home.

Last week, I really needed things from Costco, but kept putting it off until Raja could go. I had never seen any of those useful motorized carts I like to call "smartie carties" there so I believed I could not make the trip by myself. This weekend, we went to Costco and I was going to try and make it through the huge store to get the much needed items. Raja dropped me off at the huge sliding doors as he went and parked in the closet, available handicapped parking space he could find. As I stood there waiting for him, I child about 13 years old approached the doors in one of those MUCH NEEDED carts! I couldn't believe my eyes....it was like it just appeared out of nowhere for me! I was so happy and excited as Raja approached and saw me in it! I know, I'm CRAZY, but it was the answer to all my prayers in that moment, standing there!! :) Thank you, God, for ALWAYS RRSCUING ME!!

Sometimes being "That one" is very difficult, but through prayer and petition for healing of self, it can become easier! The more it is practiced, the easier it becomes!
