    Thanks Springtime, I know that God is watching over all of us even

    when we feel our plates our full. He is there to help us, Genia, Please

    let me know how you are. I am very happy that Genia started this

    line to help us help each other. To anyone else or new people, God bless

    you and we welcome you to our family. God loves you and so do I. Debbie

    God Knows........

    When you are tired and discouraged from fruitless efforts..

    God knows how hard you tried.

    When you've cried so long and your heart is in anguish....

    God has counted your tears.

    If you feel that your life is on hold and time has passed you by..

    God is waiting with you.

    When you are lonely and your friends are to busy even for a phone call....

    God is by your side.

    When you think you've tried everything and don't know where to turn...

    God has a solution.

    When nothing else makes sense and you are confused or frustrated...

    God has the answer.

    If suddenly your outlook is brighter and you find traces of hope...

    God has whispered to you.

    When things are going well and you have much to be thankful for..

    God has blessed you.

    When something joyful happens and you are filled with awe....

    God has smiled upon you.

    When you have a purpose to fulfill and a dream to follow..

    God has opened your eyes and called you by name.

    Remember that whatever you are facing...

    God knows.       By Kelly D. Carson

    A Healing Night

    Exhausted from walking this troubled road,

    we're intercepted by those who care, Knowing

    God is as close as a prayerful thought and

    they're near as a phone, we feel care spread

    like wings over us, and we can finally sleep.

    I well remember them, and my soul is downcast within

    me. Yet this I call to mind therefore I have hope:

    Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed,

    for His compassions never fail. They are every morning;

    Great is your faithfulness. I say to myself,

    " The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for Him.

    Our Father which art in heaven,

     Hallowed be thy name.

    Thy kingdom come.

    Thy will be done in earth,

    as it is in heaven.

    Give us this day our daily bread.

    And forgive us your debts,

    as we forgive our debtors,

    And lead us not into temptation,

    but deliver us for evil.

    For thine is the kingdom, and the power,

    and the glory for ever. Amen

    Thanks Debbie.....I'll call them today.  I hate tests......and the waiting.  And the imagining the worst.  If I had the faith I needed to have I would say.....it's in God's hands and just turn it all over to him.  He created me.....and only he knows what my future holds and how many days I have left on this earth.  Not ME.....and all the worrying is only gonna shorten my life.

    NOW....if I could believe what I just typed.......lol

    hugssssss and love to you all!

    Lord, shine a light of Your Word on the path of my life today.

    Make it a lamp unto my feet so that I do not stumble. Bring

    it alive in my spirit so that it illuminatesmy mine and soul.

    Let it be a guide for every decision I make, every step that I

    take. Keep me from turning to the right or the left so I will

    stay on the narrow paththat leads to life. Help me daily to carve

    out time to be alone with You and feed on Your truth." Oh how

    I love Your law! It is my meditation all the day" (Psalm 119:97)

    Open my eyes to see the treasure everytime I read or hear it.

    Speak to me and comfort my heart. Make Your Word come

    alive in me anduse it to nourish my soul and spirit like food

    does for my body. Align my heart with Yours and give me

    revelation and guidance so that I may know Your will for

    my life. Shine the lamp of Your truth where I am right now

    and show me the nextstep to take. Amen  (From Just Enough Light for the Step I'm On  By Stormie Omartian)

    When we walk step by step with God

    through each crisis, we will see Him

    do miraculous work of transforming,

    restoring and healing.

    In the day of trouble I sought the Lord;

    my hand was stretched out in the night

    without ceasing; my soul refused

    to be comforted. I remember God,

    and was troubled; I complained,

    and my spirit was overwhelmed.

    ....Surely I will remember Your wonders of old.

    I will also meditate on all Your work,

    and talk of Your deeds,

    You are a God who does wonders....

    Psalms 77:2,3,11,12,14
