Faith, Prayer, Blessings!

“In my desperation I prayed, and the Lord listened;
He saved me from all my troubles.”
Psalm 34:6

A short while back I was led to a blog site, Kate Crews, started by the mother of a beautiful girl who received a brain injury - the result of a head-on collision. I am so inspired by mom, Janne, and her deep faith and devotion to God and also by daughter, Kate's wondrous healing by our Heavenly Father.

Hebrews 11 has always been one of my favorite chapters in the Bible because it shows such tremendous faith of God's followers. I pray for the depth of faith that is shown by Abraham, Noah and now added to that list is Kate's family, friends and prayer warriors. I, too, have become a prayer warrior for Kate!

Sometimes, I find it very hard to stay positive with the circumstances of my life right now - end of my marriage, no job, no home of my own! When I see God working in someone's life as He is in so many - it changes my focus and I know that He is in control and I am thankful! I am so blessed in my life!

My youngest daughter (by marriage) sent me pictures of her three little ones! Since the separation from my husband, both of his daughters from his previous marriage - our youngest and our oldest - seemed to retreat from me and that's been hard. I understood that they were protecting their Dad and probably weren't sure where they would fit into my life now. My feelings for the girls has never changed! They came into my life when they were 9 and 6 years of age and became my daughters (in my heart and mind). I felt like not only was my marriage over - but I feared that two of my children had chosen to be out of my life. I called Candace last night to tell her how much the pictures meant to me. We talked and discovered that neither of us wants the mom/daughter relationship to end - no matter what! I thank God and am so grateful!

I've sent out about six resumes this week; had 1 interview last week - the job search continues as the prayers go up! I know that God will lead me to the place where I can best serve and bring glory to Him!

I will continue to pray for many I have met - some personally, some in "bloggieland" and continue believing that God will bring healing to them and their families! Here are some on my prayer list -


If you want to read of faith and love, visit each one, read their story and maybe add your name to the long lists of prayer warriors!
In His Love and Blessings
