Your Grace and Your Presence

My Lord,

Thank you for your grace and your presence. I left work on Wednesday, March 4, on my son's 27th birthday. After he paid me a surprise visit and gave me a beautiful clock and a hug, I headed home with a headache. I was overjoyed to see him and so happy that he had the day off from work so that he could celebrate his birthday. Thank you Father for giving my son another year of life. And I am praying that you will continue the work that you began in him and that your word has promised.

When I arrived home, I went straight to sleep. When I woke up I still had a headache and was contemplating whether or not I would go to church. But you fixed that for me Lord.

After I fixed dinner and took some aspirin, I was ready to go to the house of worship. And Father, I thank you.

The following day we had a beautiful, beautiful snow blizzard. I was content in the house for the next three days with all of your provisions. Your grace is more than enough.

Thank you my Lord for the sweet fellowship that I was able to share with Susie, Ruth, and Anna.

God we know that you are up to something, and we have no idea what it is, but we trust you, we believe in you, and we are super excited to see your work and your will unfold in our lives and in the lives of our brothers and sisters at Grace Brethren Church.

Thank you for the gift of prayer. We prayed and we had sweet fellowship. Also my Lord, there were and are many more petitions that went up on behalf of our friends and family and church members.

Lord you know every need. You know who needs healing, deliverance, encouragement, comfort, hope, and also those who need your loving discipline.

Thank you Father for being a God who cares about us and for giving us your holy Scriptures to not only give us direction for life but to continually #point us to YOU reminding us that we are not in this journey called life alone.

I love you Jesus!

Thank you for church this morning. Thank you for that #awesome announcement! #YOU REIGN!!!

Thank you for allowing me to fellowship with sweet Amy. Thank you for my GBC sisters! Thank you for my Grace Brethren family. Thank you for our Secret Sister prayer ministry! Thank you for all the ministries that we have at Grace and all the love that lingers there.

Thank you for so many things that I could not possibly list tonight, but there are so many women who have added and poured spiritual wisdom into my life as well as encouragement and love. You know that in my past I was longing for an authentic friend. Thank you for answering my prayer beyond my wildest dream!

I am going to pray believing! I am not going to concern myself with the uncertainties of whether or not something is affordable, whether or not it seems impossible to me, or whether or not I can actually pull it off. I am going to pray believing because I serve a mighty God who can!!!

I cannot, but You so can!!!

PS: I lift up Darryl, Carolyn, Courtney, Chrissy, Nichole, Emily, Nancy, Rachel, Sammi's friend, Jesse and Mrs. Diana to you for healing! In Jesus' name, amen!

Eternally yours
