Difficult Times

I'm not going to lie. . . Things have been hard...

I feel absolutely gutted at the moment. I found out a couple days ago, a dear friend of mine was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. You could imagine that I would much rather be at home with her, than here at the moment. However, at the same time I can only say that by the Lord's peace can I continue to do what I am doing here. Lots of things are happening to my loved ones...another friend of mine was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease...I sat down...and started to process my thoughts and feelings in my journal...I started to write, "In trails and tribulations, Lord you are worthy of praise. In sadness, Lord, you are worthy of praise. In happiness, You are worthy of praise. In winter, you are worthy of praise. In spring, you are worhty of praise." You get my drift? Even though I can't be there with those who are going through physical pain, I need not worry because there is a God, whom we call Abba, who loves me and the ones I love far more than I could ever love them, and he's in full control. I trust my daddy.

Please pray:

1. Please lift up Kristina and Brandon Johnson. I believe that the enemy will do anything he can to challenge the authority of God. . . But we have victory in HIM who purchased us with the blood of the spotless lamb. Kristina has been recently diagnosed with Breast Cancer.
2. Pray for my friend Laura, who currently is fighting Crohn's disease.
3. I am currently batteling a sinus infection which has been pretty brutal.
4. For just super-natural joy during this season in life.
5. For a fruitful rest of term here.
6. For Continued financial support.
