Pictures are worth 1000 words......

Ok, no need to get worried, although pictures are worth 1000 words, I don't have that many...... today at least. This is just a little about the prophetic word pictures that God has given me that I will be sharing with you here! I pray that God will use these pictures to minister to you the way they have to me!


When people attempt to give me tapes or CD’s of messages, I hand them right back. I try to do it in such a way as to not offend, but I know that I am not going to listen to them, and worse, those little carriers of information will probably get lost sitting around my office waiting for me to listening to them. I can’t tell you the number of tapes that I’ve lost through the years. It’s not that I’m normally a procrastinator. Neither is it that I am such a busy person that there are not enough hours in the day to do everything I need to do, let alone listen to everything that people want me to listen to. It’s just that I’m a visual learner, and unless I can see something to hold my attention, my mind wanders shamelessly. It’s not something that I’m proud of, but it is something that I have learned to accept about myself. I am sure that is why God speaks to me in pictures.

I am thankful that our Lord is so mindful of the way that we are made, and the individual styles with which we learn that He shares His thoughts with us in a way that they can be received. I am thankful for the team of laborers who did listen to the tapes and CD’s to transcribe the pictures the Lord has given me to share with our local congregation, and now with you. I am also thankful that you logged on and that you are taking your time to read about it. It is my prayer that you will find encouragement and inspiration throughthese words. I would encourage you to use your imagination to visualize the pictures described, your sensitivity to hear the Lord speaking personally to you, and your wisdom to determine how to apply the word to your life.

Pastor Chris,
Thanks for sharing about yourself and your specially tuned in broadcasted messages God has given to you. Being more visual myself and mostly being caught up in rightbrainedness(IS that a word?), I truly appreciate how your pictures transform into a simple, yet profound message for us.
Thanks for your efforts and all your teamplayers who help you.
P.S.
Just a side note........After many years of spoiling our dogs, and having granddogs and cat, this year a real "grandbaby" has arrived.
Glory to God!! Now the best of both worlds...spoiling all of them!
Praying for your time too,to come soon.
Thank you so much,
Donna Richter
