Sweet Scripture Sunday.....

 "Let no one despise your youth,

but be an example to the believers in word,

 in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity."

I Tim 4:12

Today we celebrated

as our Granddaughter Sydney Grace was baptised

by her father (who is a Pastor)

 and her Poppy (who is a Pastor).

It was a very cold day outside

but inside

our hearts were warmed by Sydney's

decision to follow her Lord

in the act of Baptism.

Also baptised today was Sydney's cousin, Rachel.

Rachel is a wonderful 15 year old. 

She shared today how

she was saved several years ago

during a VBS-Vacation Bible School.

She felt the Lord "tugging" at her heart

to be obedient in baptism.

 "For You are my hope,

O Lord GOD; You are my trust from my youth.

By You I have been upheld from birth;

You are He who took me out of my mother's womb.

My praise shall be continually of You."

Psalm 71:5-6

I know you have not heard much from me lately,

but this was to good not to share........

May this day find all of you richly blessed!

Blessings!

Update on Amy:

Amy is doing really well.

She is in therapy and will be released

to come home in a week or so.

She had adjusted to her injuries

and is working hard.

She has had a big weight loss

and needs to gain some weight.

Please continue to pray for her.

Sweet Scripture Sunday....

As the scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame."  For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile-----the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him.

Romans 10:11-12

Today I was blessed with the opportunity to attend a baby shower

for one of the girls

who came through the Rescue Mission we ran for many years.

Michelle came to the mission directly from jail.

She came in filled with anger, distrust and addiction.

After spending many months with us Michelle changed.

Why?

Simple........

She put her trust in the Lord and was blessed.....

blessed with peace...

 A Hope for the future........

restoration of family......

and with Baby Hope.

Michelle had Allie (the sweet little blond in the pic above) when she came to the mission.

Due to drugs she was not the Mother she needed to be.

That changed when she found Jesus.

Michelle was also told the odds of her having anymore children

was very little.

But the Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses those who call upon him........

and now there is Hope....

Allie"s new baby sister.

I was also blessed to see a  few more of the girls who went through the mission and

their new little ones too.

God is good.

He does change lives!

Loretta and Landon.

Loretta came in addicted to Meth.

Now she is in College and a new Mother.

This is Samara.

Isn't she beautiful.

Her mother came in to the mission addicted to alcohol.

Her Mother admitted to me today that she still struggled with her addiction.

She knew it was wrong but the desires were still there.

Please pray for her with me.

Her name is Tanya.

Yes, these are just a few of the blessings in my life.

The Lord is indeed Lord of all!

He has truly blessed my life!

Blessings!

Update on Amy:

Prayers are being answered.

Amy is on the mend.

Her lungs are improving and Carolyn told me on Friday evening

they hope to have Amy out of ICU in two weeks

and into Rehab.

She was still heavily sedated.

Allowing her lungs more time to improve.

Another true blessing from the Lord!

Thanks Ladies.....

There is Power in Prayer!

Sweet Scripture Sunday....

Update on Amy:

Carolyn (Amy's Mom) Amy (with the beautiful dark hair) and sophie (Amy's little dog).

Amy is still in the ICU.

She not only has the amputation to deal with

all three of the other limbs are broken.

The brake in her right arm will require surgery.

She is on a vent.

She is still not breathing on her own.

Apparently when she was slung 200 yards

into a tree.

She took a blunt force hit to her chest,

Which has affected her lungs.

She has a long road ahead.

When they found Amy,

they had to cut some of her beautiful hair

which was entangled in limbs.

Please continue to pray.

She does not know about anything that has happen

to her boyfriend, his family

or to her body.

She needs a touch from God at this time.

That's the wonderful thing about the Blog family.

I know you will pray.

I told Carolyn there were people praying for her all

over the United States.

She was so humbled and excited!

Be joyful in hope,

patient in affliction,

faithful in prayer.

Romans 12:12

Thank you!

Blessings!
