and dedicated to the Lord (like Samuel).  I didn't realize that I was pregnant until a "church mother" took one look at me and got a strange look on her face. Something clicked! The news spread among all the Vacation Bible School workers, who were just as shocked.   My son's birth was full of calamity, though. Everything I had just read about what could happen during childbirth ,happened. After a meal of pizza and cola, my water burst and my sister Rosemary realized it and I was rushed to the hospital. When I entered the waiting room there were at least 4 other women before me, but the doctor turned around to me and said, "I'm taking you next."  My blood pressure shot up to 158/90! I was given an IV to stabilize it. My dinner was "emptied" into the rubbish bin, insuring that my tummy would not be hindering the birth process. My contraction were not productive and my baby was in distress; when my husband was allowed in the room (he was a very good coach), I had monitors on me, and my child. I know I was upset, but I spoke to the Lord and the situation came to  an end. Eventually, I was wheeled into delivery …then my beautiful angel baby was delivered.  Later I saw the clouds part, letting the morning sun's light shine through-it was a message from God, my own rainbow…

My son is 18 years old now, but I saw him delivered into my hands many years ago. It was like the parting of the Red Sea.  Few envisioned such an unprecedented outcome, but I was strengthened by the faith of a much beloved saint, and my son was restored to me, my "Sunny".

I can truly say that I have been on a pathway where I have learned what it means to live for God. Whatever harsh blows I suffer are

going to work and has worked out for my good. Oh yes, I know that my tenacity gets me in trouble sometimes, but God has been and will always be faithful to me. So comes Pain, some Grief, and Joy, all are equal when they are in the hands of the Mighty God. The Ancient of Days! The Rose of Sharon. Jesus I thank for the miracles and challenges in this life...

The Deal About Hair

In the beginning when Adam and Eve sinned, they knew that they were naked. they sewed together leaves, and covered themselves with the makings of textiles. It was not sufficient to God for them to wear this man made covering, so He gave them a covering of animal fur, or hair.

As time went on, a Nazarite, or person in submission to the Lord, was special, and was also given as a covering- again it was hair.  It is a God-made covering that even the angels recognize. It was not to be cut, or the power and spirit  that was previously given by the Lord In the case of Sampson, was lost.  Only when the hair grew back and was allowed to grow freely was the power returned to the vessel and again that vessel was prepared for the original purpose of the Lord.

1Corinthians 11:10  For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head (the covering of hair) because of the angels.

Prophets also wore a covering of hair as John the Baptist did.  It seem to be a part
