Thank you ~ all of you. I slipped back onto this page just to be near you and found all these message. Made me cry to know I have so many wonderful sisters in the Lord. But don't worry, the tears were thankful happy tears. I'm going to print out each message and picture and stick them in my pockets to take to my parents' this week-end. If it gets too much, I'll go sit in the car, read your messages & sing the song "You never let go," LOUD! :) It is one of my favs & on the worship CD my son gave me for Christmas.
Thank You Father for each of these very special women in my life. Thank you for blessing me in such a unique way through them. We could never make it without Your love and mercy. Thank You for helping Sharon's son and the way the custody trial went. Thank You for revealing the truth at this time and in this place. We know that in the end ALL things will be revealed, but it is such an encouragement to our faith when we see Your truth revealed for us here on earth. Be with us Lord throughout this day. In Your Son's name I pray, Amen.
Proud Navy/NYPD Mom, I am another sister you can add to your list of those praying and standing in the gap for you. I understand how overwhelming all this is to you now, but as the wonderful ladies have all said before, God will give you the strength and be with you through all of this.
Sharon, it is so good to hear that your son has good news about his visitation and custody. Praise God! You are so right when you state that the evil one will spread lies and untruths to harm us, but God and good will always prevail.
Praying to hear that I am going to be hired for the new job I applied and interviewed for. I have been told that I basically am hired, but no official word or start date yet. This job is more pay and better hours for me. Close to my home and will allow me to walk to work if need be. What with the price of gas being almost $4 p/gal in Michigan, that is going to be the case by this summer.
Thank you all and thank God!!!!
Standing in prayer with you ladies! Proud Navy/NYPD I'll sing with you and Blondie too! I'm always off key....you know it's bad when your kids tell you not to sing in the car....well at least they did when they were little :)
I like the idea of us surrounding you with the prayer chain...and yes you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.
Blondie-Thanks for the beautiful pictures and Bible Verses.
ProudNavy/NYPD Mom - you CAN do this. Not only because, well, you have to, but because as Blondie so wisely stated - You CAN do ALL things through Christ - He strengthens you! I am standing with all of our sisters in prayer for you. This experience, although difficult, will make you stronger in your walk, and in your heart. Hugs, love, and prayers coming your way - for you, and for all of your family in this difficult time - I'm sure it's going to feel a bit crazy for a few days! Hang in there.
Thank you Blondie. I can't wait to get to heaven and really be able to sing out loud, since I sing so badly IRL. We can stand next to each other and sing as loud as anyone there and not have to worry how it sounds!! Actually I can't wait to hear what my newly made voice will sound like!
I am thankful you will put a wall of prayer around me and a blanket of love over me and especially God's hand over my mouth! They all arrive at various times on Friday. Thank you Blondie & all my sisters here. I love you all.
Prayer requests: my aunt & cousin's daughter (20 yrs old) are both having biopsies for what the doctors are concerned is cancer. I really don't know how much more I can take of all this suffering & death. (I know wait for the results, but I feel like I live waiting for the other show to drop so to speak.) My brothers and sister are coming up from PA and VA with plans for my parents' former home. They have big plans for dismantling, but then will leave on Sunday AM which leaves a mess for the 4 of us living in MA. I want to be transparent with you my prayer partners -- I am upset about this. They get to come, stir things up, but they go away and don't see or have the daily reminders. And finally, my sister is still not talking to me. She hasn't spoken a word to me since Nov. 6th, the day I took our mother to the hospital. Of course she will be around too.
"Oh God, I can't do this!!"
Blondie, I feel like singing today. Will you join me? "When peace like a river attendeth my way. When sorrows like sea billows roll, whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say, 'It is well, it is well, with my soul'. It is well. With my soul. It is well, it is well with my soul."
Thank you Lord for the promises recorded in the old hymns of the faith. Help us to hold onto this reminder, that whatever happens around is, You have already taken care of our souls. We thank you for that and we thank You for the way you remind us. Help us walk in Your peace today. Help us to walk above the things going on in this world and fix our eyes totally on You, the author and finisher of our faith. In Jesus's name, Amen.
