Hello my dear readers! I appreciate you understanding my absence as I was very sick for two and a half months. My medicine had to be straighten out. I can say during the time I was away, my faith was tested again and again. It’s been almost two months since then; it’s beautiful to look back and see how the Lord used me with all the people I came into contact with each day. He used my suffering and sorrow to bring me closer to His heart. The Lord never left me, He is my strong support and my steady hand. Don’t let my words fool you, it was VERY difficult being away from home so long in a hospital. I felt very alone, but Jesus was my Rock and strong fortress. I know that the Lord WAS with me and He helped me each day to make it to the end of the day. I wanted to share with you a prayer that I wrote shortly after arriving at a hospital in Orlando. I hope you enjoy it....

She prayed for years to receive a son, all the while being mocked and scorned by her husband’s other wife. God gave her seven sons, one of whom became a great prophet of Him. What if we were like that? Mark is...

This was an interesting dream I had while I was napping with my boys the other day. In the dream, I was rock climbing. Well, at least, I knew I was about to start rock climbing. But before I started climbing, I immediately looked up, and I saw God the Father, who is embodied in cloud form, scaling the heights ahead of me, creating new footholds for my feet and strongholds for my hands. In this way, I was able to climb with Him, so my climb was much easier. This was because He helped me and did so much of the work for me. Song of Songs 2:8-9 says this: “Listen! My Lover. Look! Here He comes, leaping across the mountains, bounding over the hills. My lover is a gazelle or a young stag…” In these verses the beloveds domain is the cliffs and mountains, where He longs to bring His bride if only she would embrace the challenges, trusting her Beloved to make things possible...
