Many of you have been praying for me, and I thank you with all my heart. The Father heard and hears your prayers and He strengthens me so I do not experience deep dark times of despair.\u00a0 There are several\u00a0 medical conditions that doctors have placed in my medical file. Some I acknowledge and some I do not. I often joke, saying I have more aliments than an octopus has arms. Continuous, back-to-back sickness, coupled with multiple doctor appointments, can propel one into self-pity and depression (its presence is often denied).\u00a0 At times, my ability to connect with God becomes a struggle. Your prayers intercede on my behalf and the Father hears you. You may not know what I’m experiencing, but God hears your prayers. I believe He looks and sees me and He stirs up His Spirit within me. Sometimes, I am lifted up by a phone call, a TV evangelist, a song on the radio or on Spotify. God uses varies avenues to enablee me to rise above my despair and seek His face.<\/p>\n
The other day I was lead to Jeremiah 30:17 (GNB) “I will make you well again; I will heal your wounds, though your enemies say, ‘Zion is an outcast; no one cares about her.’ I, the Lord have spoken.”\u00a0 Lately, I get excited when I read where God’s Word says “I will. . .”.\u00a0 I’ve been reading\u00a0 it for years, but lately those two words “I will” has meaning like none before. It is God’s faithfulness; if He said it, He will do it. He is not like man that He should lie. Many times I am\u00a0 refreshed when I read in Psalm 34:19 (KJV) “Many are the afflictions of the righteous; but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.”<\/p>\n
Yolanda Peltzer and Judith Lewis are two sisters that help me many times to keep my head above the water. I thank God that they allow me to be in their lives.<\/p>\n
