Looking back to  the end of 2008  through 2009 I have to say it was a great time of testing, and overcoming many obstacles, sometimes it felt like  I was receiving one curve ball after another, and I could not swing the bat fast enough, to hit the ball out of the ball park.  My husband and I suffered loss financially, during the great financial shaking, that was taking place Globally, we were having to move in with my parents along with our two children, and both of my parents facing changeling health issues, my Father with Dementia, and my mother preparing for Hip Replacement Surgery, a house divided spiritually, yet we were all in need of each others help.  HUH!

During this time,  the Lord had us going to a very small revival service; it was a time in 2009 that will remain unforgettable.  After the services we had to retreat back to prison, having to go back to the hold-over, still ?Prisoners of Hope? longing for our dreams to be fulfilled, and a home that we could call our own.

I think to Paul and Silas here were two men walking along being obedient to the Lord, when suddenly they were hit with an unexpected curve ball.

After they had been severely flogged, they were thrown into prison, and the jailer was commanded to guard them carefully. Upon receiving such orders, he put them in the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks. About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everybody?s chains came loose. ACTS 16 24-26

 Paul and Silas were ?Prisoners of Hope? and they did not stop focusing on the Lord of Glory, they worshiped Him in all his majesty.  I am sure Paul and Silas did not know all that was happening,  there are times where we are not going to know, or understand, know matter how educated or uneducated we are in the word of God.

In the account of Paul and Silas we know this, the Lord will remove the shackles, and the door to the prison will unlock.
