Numbers 20:1-29
7 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 8 “Take the rod; you and your brother Aaron gather the congregation together. Speak to the rock before their eyes, and it will yield its water; thus you shall bring water for them out of the rock, and give drink to the congregation and their animals.”

2 Chronicles 9
5 Then she said to the king: “It was a true report which I heard in my own land about your words and your wisdom. 6 However I did not believe their words until I came and saw with my own eyes; and indeed the half of the greatness of your wisdom was not told me. You exceed the fame of which I heard. 7 Happy are your men and happy are these your servants, who stand continually before you and hear your wisdom! 8 Blessed be the Lord your God, who delighted in you, setting you on His throne to be king for the Lord your God! Because your God has loved Israel, to establish them forever, therefore He made you king over them, to do justice and righteousness.”
9 And she gave the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, spices in great abundance, and precious stones; there never were any spices such as those the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
2 Chronicles 10
15 So the king did not listen to the people; for the turn of events was from God, that the Lord might fulfill His word, which He had spoken by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
Romans 8
5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be [b]carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the [c]carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. 8 So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba,[e] Father.” 16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.
Psalm 18:17-37
16 He sent from above, He took me;He drew me out of many waters.17 He delivered me from my strong enemy,From those who hated me,For they were too strong for me.18 They confronted me in the day of my calamity,But the Lord was my support.19 He also brought me out into a broad place;He delivered me because He delighted in me.
20 The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands. He has recompensed me. 21 For I have kept the ways of the Lord,And have not wickedly departed from my God. 22 For all His judgments were before me, And I did not put away His statutes from me. 23 I was also blameless [f]before Him,And I kept myself from my iniquity.24 Therefore the Lord has recompensed me according to my righteousness,According to the cleanness of my hands in His sight.
25 With the merciful You will show Yourself merciful;With a blameless man You will show Yourself blameless;26 With the pure You will show Yourself pure;And with the devious You will show Yourself shrewd.27 For You will save the humble people,But will bring down haughty looks.
28 For You will light my lamp;The Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.29 For by You I can [g]run against a troop,By my God I can leap over a wall.30 As for God, His way is perfect;The word of the Lord is [h]proven;He is a shield to all who trust in Him.
31 For who is God, except the Lord?And who is a rock, except our God?32 It is God who arms me with strength,And makes my way perfect.33 He makes my feet like the feet of deer,And sets me on my high places.34 He teaches my hands to make war,So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
35 You have also given me the shield of Your salvation;Your right hand has held me up,Your gentleness has made me great.36 You enlarged my path under me,So my feet did not slip.
Proverbs 19:26
Dear AVI,
I praise YOU Adonai Elohim KING of the Universe because YOU are faithful and true, YESHUA My Bestfriend and husband KING who loves me more than anyone ever could in this world. O GOD, take care of me, have mercy on me for I am broken into pieces, I am unsure of myself but one thing I am sure of is YOU. In YOU, I am who I am for YOU have called me YOUR loving bride and daughter, Maryiam Yiska. But all that I am is for YOUR glory. But even if I am not whole but broken YOU are sovereign because YOUR purpose remains and YOU break down to rebuild especially during this time of Tammuz to Av, YOU break down so YOU can rebuild. My heart leans on YOU O GOD, and all that I am in my brokeness my heart leans on YOU. It would have been better if YOU would come for us already YOUR bride and saints, all my problems will be solved in 1 day. How wonderful it would have been if YOU were already coming on the 9th of Av, surely it would be the most beautiful day!!! But since YOU have not yet come, here I am planning to escape from the life of luxury because this is not the life I was meant to live, I was meant to do extra ordinary things for YOU and so if YOU have called me, as I believe YOU are calling me to go to Israel, I am taking steps already, please lead me through it all. Please lead me AVI, please guide my heart and mind and make me strong and fully focused on YOU. Regain my hearts focus on YOU and bring me to the land of YOUR Promise. Bring me to the land of YOUR promise. Bring me to YOUR promise like only YOU can! On eagles wings YOU will carry me because I am wanting to do YOUR will O GOD Almighty, without anymore pain or sadness on my family. I cannot blame them, they are who they are and I am who YOU have created me to be so send me Adonai, send me! Do not allow me to slip or fall or be defeated by YOUR enemies. For only YOU are able to keep us HOLY and blameless unto YOU belong all the glory and honor! Unto YOU belong power and strength and all the praises and worship because YOU are the reason for all us being who we are. Help me to discover more of YOU. More of YOU, more of YOU, less of me, less of me, as I trust in YOU. Let me listen and hear only YOUR Word and not what people of the flesh are saying. Let me alone hear YOUR Truth.
Ba HaShem YESHUA HaMashiach, Amen!
Dear Yousef,
Today, I was in church always crying in GOD's Presence and this time seated beside Dr. Mike, I wanted to tell him my pain, my spirit grieves, "How long O LORD, will YOU forget me? Will I have to wait for YOUR Promise another year, until when wilt thou let my heart grieve from being unloved... I know YOU love me, but YOU have also promised to give me a husband who loves me and who will stand with me doing YOUR will. I am thankful Adonai for all YOU have done for me, please let my heart always rejoice and remember YOUR Works in my life." Then after the servie, Dr. Nelly the wife of Dr Mike, asks me if I wanted an American Jew and I was surprised but I said yes any middle eastern man who is a Christian (who loves JESUS) and then I left coz I was planning to have lunch with my family but they were so far in SM Sea side that I decided to just stay in the City but I didn't eat at church. I was on my way home with NatanEL when I decided to go back to church and talk to Dr Nelly more about why she asked. And I found out that Andrea her eldest daughter and my good friend asked about me if I was still single with no relationship and I told her Dr Nelly yes please tell her I am single and that I have been praying to marry a good man. I want to marry you Yousef, I want you Mosab but do you want me? Do you want a family? Do you want to find love even if your life it at risk? I am willing to risk my life to be with you. But how long should you have to wait??? I don't believe you are with somebody, you are longing to be with a GOD given spouse and I have been longing to be with you. I need to meet Andrea's friend who is looking for a wife, perhaps he can lead me to you. I don't know anymore... But I need to meet someone already, I need to see GOD moving and as I cried Sunday after Sunday, Pastor preaches the song "even when I don't see it YOU are working" and it has captured me today. GOD has been moving as HE has moved Andrea to ask if I was single, because GOD is sending someone to me. This gives me relief that GOD has not been deaf or blind to me. It gave me much comfort as I have been becoming really uncomfortable here in my own home, GOD is comforting me with how HE is moving. As I work on my papers going to Israel this year, I am praying for GOD to meet me as I prepare to go to the land of Zion may this man whom he is sending be as desperate to me meet me there. If he is a jew, he should love Israel but I would prefer him to be Arab and I prefer him to be you but listen. I am letting you go this year if this is the man GOD wants me to marry because you are a dream that I could never reach if GOD did not want me to be with you. I don't know why GOD showed you to me to pray for to be my husband but I will keep trusting GOD as it has been 2 years now since HE showed you to me Mosab. Anyway, I went home to have lunch with Deric after my talk with Dr Nelly and then I went to Honda to have my car fixed completely.I waited almost 2 hours and I seemed to enjoy waiting coz they made the waiting lounge really comfortable and nice. I went backt to the church just to see the Sports Fest and then I went home to take my parents to the dinner my Mom wanted to go that I wished I didn't go because the food was not even yummy. I slept without communion but I slept listening to Dr Barry Awe, with the hope that KING JESUS is coming soon. It is my hope of all hopes.
Love, Marie
