Prayer Update

Sorry I haven't updated you all in a while about Pat's sister, Linda. Thanks Ang for being a good friend and prayer warrior and asking.

Pat's sister was moved a week or so ago to a Traumatic Brain Injury rehab center, of course this was GREAT NEWS. She was well enough to get out of the hospital and start working on getting better. Since then...sit down, you will not believe this...God has done a great work in her body: she is talking, starting to connect people to stories and memories, walking...yes, walking...not a lot but some with the help of a walker, she has started to eat some food on her own.

It's incredible, she has certainly defied many medical truth. However, I am sure that our prayers were a part of that defiance, she still has a long way to go...and the family is being very reasonable about that, but the fact that she is alive and talking and walking is nothing short of a miracle.

Thank God that He is still in the business of healing. All praises to Him!

The miracle of Christ

I have been addicted to some Jesus tunes lately, my iTunes is probably wondering if Casting Crowns and DCB is all that is left in its playlist. I have needed it, I have needed Him. I want to be surrounded by Christ in every minute of everyday. I want the world to wonder what is up with me...I want to be a light to the darkness. I search tonight for the Light of the World. That He might have enough mercy to take me back again and create it me a pure heart.

Isn't that the miracle of Christ?
I am so NOT WORTHY. Yet He is seeking me? Things have been on the up and up for me lately. I have been joyful about attending church, I have been feeling good about have right, pure, and true Christ centered relationships. I suppose maybe its the season for Thanksgiving but I have been so grateful for who God is and especially for who He says I am. I am praising God tonight by cranking some praise tunage, singing at the top of my lungs - the world might not wonder about me, but surely this will make my room mates question!
When I am weak you make me strong
When I am blind you shine the light on me
Cause I will never get by living on my own ability
