Prayer Request...

Would you please pray for a dear friend of mine...she is in the midst of a storm that is fierce and dark and the winds are strong and powerful and she needs some good godly sisters to lift her up. God knows who and the details...all we need to know is that she needs us to pray. Pray specifically for wisdom, strength, encouragement and grace. My heart is grieved for her, I hurt because she hurts.

Thanks ladies!

Serving Him,

Long time....no post...

I haven't made the time to post an entry on here in a while. God has been so good to me and I'm ashamed I haven't made time to share with you His goodness or to Praise Him by way of this blog. I have still been serving and making my way along this pilgrimage I'm on. The sun has risen every morning and the moon every evening. My kids are still healthy and happy and I'm still married to the best man in the world! Doug and I are still employed despite so many good people have lost their jobs in the struggling economy. I still have a young man in my life that is going to be my son-in-love one day and already is in my heart the son I never had. I still have a wonderful church family and the BEST pastor and pastor's wife EVER!! So you see... I have MUCH to praise Him for....but the best thing I've saved for last!!!! I still serve a RISEN Savior. I still serve a Lord who knows every emotion I feel, sees every struggle and knows every desire of my heart. I still serve a God who has VICTORY over sin and satan and hold the universe in the palm of his hand. I still believe in heaven and that He has prepared a place just for me that is already mine...just as if I were already there. He still provides every need and most of my wants. He still does what is best for me even though at times I don't see how the pieces will fit together. He knows every tear that I've ever cried and why I shed them. He still speaks to me in that still small voice when I am still long enough to listen. I'm still his child and He is still my dad. Now that is cause for PRAISE!!

You know what...I bet you could say much of the same if you just thought about it. So do just that....sit down...think about it....list it on paper or in a journal...God is good, all the time....All the time, God is good.
