Friends in the Oasis – origin

Hi, recent subscriber!  

As a recent email subscriber to my blog titled Lingering In The Oasis, I’d like to give you a warm welcome!

  You are now considered to be an FO… Friend in the Oasis. I know, you’re asking what does that mean and is it really all that special?
 
Yes! Here’s three reasons:

  First it is very special to me because you have taken an interest for some reason or another in my attempt to bring devotions, music and God’s word to you and others. For that reason alone I say a BIG THANK YOU!  

Second, as an FO, I hope to make this interesting enough that you feel special. To do that, I plan on getting your input for future blogs by having YOU choose a particular word or photo from a selection I offer.

Third, which is the most important reason, is that I believe in the power of prayer. I have added each of you to my personal prayer list. I believe in being specific (when able) in bringing our prayers and petitions to the Lord. If I can join you in prayer for anything specifically or not, then I would gladly agree to do that. If you share anything, I promise and will assure you it will remain confidential.  

“I also tell you this: If two of you agree here on earth concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you. For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them.”  
Matthew 18:19-20 NLT    

“Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ”  
Galatians 6:2 NLT    

“Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed.”   Ecclesiastes 4:9 NLT  

“Pray without ceasing”  
1 Thessalonians 5:17 NLT  

To make reading enjoyable, engaging, and beneficial is my goal for you, my FOFriend In the Oasis!  

If you have any personal prayer requests feel free to reach out @ [email protected].

Hi, Welcome to my blog . I love my God, my family, music, hikes, Mexican food and coffee. I am passionate about worship and serving Christ. One of my favorite passages is 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18. “ Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. Give thanks in all circumstances for this is God’s will for those who belong to Jesus Christ.” Life has taught me to know a lot but I am not a know it all. Realizing there is always more to learn and experience I continue my spiritual journey. I hope that Lingering In The Oasis will help make your day better, as you continue to travel your journey as well.
