Spiritual Blessings

Last Wednesday mom received her third chemo treatment. She now has to get a shot after every treatment to help with her white blood count. Chemo has taken a toll on her body, the pasted few days her bones have been aching, almost like she needs to get them oiled. It has been difficult to move. I thought it would help for her to get some fresh air so we brought her to feed the ducks yesterday. She really liked that! We’ve had a lot of company, Mike, Shanna, Randy and Charmaine came to visit on Thursday.

Please keep mom in your prayers…she needs us to be intercessors on her behalf.

Back in July of 2007 our Pastor preached a message on a life that pleases God. I have a desire to live a life that pleases God, really pleases God and I understand now that I need to pray daily for spiritual blessings. I believe my mom wants that too but we need to be in prayer about these things:

•Pray For Spiritual Hunger Psalm 119:103 3 How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

•Pray For A Burden Jeremiah 20:9 But if I say, "I will not mention him or speak any more in his name," his word is in my heart like a fire,a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot.

•Pray For Opportunities 1 Corinthians 4:9-10 For it seems to me that God has put us apostles on display at the end of the procession, like men condemned to die in the arena. We have been made a spectacle to the whole universe, to angels as well as to men. We are fools for Christ, but you are so wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are honored, we are dishonored!

•Pray For Courage Acts 4:29 Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness.

•Pray For Vision 2 Kings 6:17 And Elisha prayed, "O LORD, open his eyes so he may see." Then the LORD opened the servant's eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

Thank you for uniting with me to pray for my mother, may God show His favor on you.

Come Back To Me

The nurse called last week to share with mom that she has a low white blood count, Neutropenia. She needs to be very careful not to be around anyone sick; which is hard to do right now, so many people are sick. Mom has a sinus infection that she is trying to fight as well.

We had a lot of visitors in the last week. Cindy and Kathy; mom’s friends from work came on Friday and presented her with a beautiful gift. Mom received The Above and Beyond Regional Winner along with The Above and Beyond Certificate of Achievement Award and a check. Mom has been so blessed by her place of employment. I have been so amazed with them myself; I just can’t believe all the wonderful things everyone has done for mom. It’s unbelievable! Tracie made a beautiful tribute for her too! Thank you! Thank you!

My sister Pam and her husband Sheldon showed up for a surprise visit on Saturday…Even I was shocked! I usually know everything! Ha Ha

Today…my sister Connie came with her gang…AND my brother Mike will be visiting tomorrow. SO we have been very busy with company!

Last week mom had been struggling, to me she seemed depressed. Through her tears and my tears I found out she hadn’t been in God’s word. It had been over a week since she read the bible and in her words she felt like she was rotting away. The term rotting away means to decay, to decompose…that’s what satan wants but…

God wants us to be alive in Him. There is life in Christ! A freedom…We need to stay active for God, serving the Lord with spiritual fervor, passion and eagerness. We all fall short. I have been in that position too many times and prefer not to go backwards again and when I don’t give God the time he deserves because He is worthy of my time, I feel it, He convicts me of my sin. God has revealed to me that I need to submit, be humble and repent.

Here’s some scripture that will help you come back to Him, He’s waiting…

Romans 3:23-24 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus

Romans 12:12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer

Ezekiel 37:23 They will no longer defile themselves with their idols and vile images or with any of their offenses, for I will save them from all their sinful backsliding, and I will cleanse them. They will be my people, and I will be their God.

Matthew 26:41 Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.


1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.

Mom's reading again! Praise God!

Saving Grace

Mom's New Hair Dew


On February 25th, mom had her second chemo treatment. We weren’t really sure if they were going to give her the chemo due to the “flu” symptoms she was experiencing. But she did get to stay for the 6 hour day at the cancer center.

Mom continued to be ill for the next 5 days…she is feeling better today and energized…she cleaned her room, dusted and vacuumed and even washed her bed sheets and covers. She’s taking a nap now!

On February 26th mom asked me to shave the rest of her hair off…It had been falling out fast and hurting in the process. It was very surreal. It was my hands, my shaver that was taking the rest of my mom’s dignity. It was also my hands that were serving my mom. Mom was more beautiful to me in that moment then she had ever been in my whole life…

The Lord gives and takes away. Hair taken away…Holy Spirit given…The road marked with suffering, though there’s pain in the offering…Blessed Be Thy Name…

I hold on to the truth, the truth that Christ Jesus will be the source of my mom’s comfort and strength and He's is mine too.

Worship is a large part of my intimacy with my Jesus and through that He touches me. Last week, Sunday and today has been so emotional. As I sing and praise Him; I am saturated in tears. God will take my mother home someday but I will continue to pour my love on Him and I will open my arms in praise because of His tender mercies and I will lift my eyes to Him in thanksgiving because He never breaks a promise and His words says:


John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

It’s not too late to have salvation, God meets us right where were at, it doesn’t matter what we’ve done. He would of never came to die for us if it was to late and believe me I deserve to rot in hell but God extended His grace on me and He can for you too. Say this prayer with me:

Heavenly Father, I have lived my life for myself. I wanted control, I wanted to do things my way and in my time and without help but Father I realize I don’t have control, I don’t want things my way and I want your help. Please forgive me for I have sinned against You and I have wronged You so many times. I’m sorry. I understand that You sent your only Son Jesus for me and He died for me and He rose again for me. Thank you for your forgiveness. Please help me to change my life for you, help me to be obedient, help me in the way I think and how I act. I need You. I want You to be the leader of my life. In Jesus Name, Amen

If you said that prayer, WELCOME to the family. You are now a child of God. A whole new life awaits you, to learn, to grow, to be transformed for our Savior. Please contact me or someone who has a strong relationship with the Lord so they can help disciple you on your new journey.
Praise The Lord!
