How To Stay In Faith!

How do you stay in faith when it's taking a long time and you don't see anything happening? Let patience have its perfect work. Just like this man, tell yourself every day, "This could be the day it turns around. This could be the day I start to feel better. This could be the day the property sells. This could be the day I get the phone call I've been waiting for." Keep standing, keep speaking, and keep believing because through faith and patience you will see His promises fulfilled in every area of your life!

That Cyst

Thank you dear Lord for healing that cyst tonight. For speaking through the t.v. to my hand that was on my back where the pain is coming from.

Thank you dear Jesus for giving me the good report from the Lord that overrides all doctors reports from my MRI.

WE love you, and we praise your Holy name!!

Praise God!

I'm sorry if I doubted you.
I'm sorry if it wasn't enough.
But, God all I need is you.
All of you is enough!
Thank you for making me well!
Thank you for examing me--my heart and my physical capacity...
We love you...we need you...we have you in our life!

MRI

Yesterday I went to have an MRI...and now...I wait.
God was with me, my husband knelt down beside me and prayed while he held my hand.
I panicked, and couldn't breathe, so they had to put me in feet first....
Felt much better. God was with me. Have been having chest pains now..lately...please pray for me!

Much Love,

Ashley

"The Storm Is Over Now"

I was in a tunnel
And couldn't see the light
And whenever I'd look up
I couldn't see the sky
Sometimes when I'm standin'
It seems like I done walked for miles
And my heart could be cryin'
Dead in the middle of a smile

But then I climbed the hills
And saw the mountains
I hollered help 'cause I was lost
Then I felt the strong wind
Heard a small voice sayin'

The storm is over
(The storm is over now)
And I can see the sunshine
(Somewhere beyond the clouds)
I feel Heaven, yeah
(Heaven is over me)
Come on and set me free, whoa

Now in the midst of my battle
All hope was gone
Downtown in a rushed crowd
And felt all alone
And every now and then
I felt like I would lose my mind
I've been racin' for years
And still no finish line, oh

But then I climbed the hills
And saw the mountains (Mountains)
I hollered help 'cause I was lost
Then I felt the strong wind
And then a small voice sayin'

The storm is over
(The storm is over now)
And I can see the sunshine
(Somewhere beyond the clouds)
I can feel Heaven, yeah
(Heaven is over me)

Come on and set me free

Somehow my beginning stepped right in (Right in)
Then faith became my friend (My friend)
And now I can depend
On the voices of the wind
When it's sayin' (Sayin')

The storm is over
(The storm is over now)
And I can see the sunshine
(Somewhere beyond the clouds)
I can feel Heaven, yeah
(Heaven is over me)

Won't you come and set me free
Won't you set me free

The storm is over
(The storm is over now)
And I can see the sunshine
(Somewhere beyond the clouds)
I can feel Heaven, yeah
(Heaven is over me)
Won't you come and set me free

Happy Birthday Mom! (47)

To my mom. My merm. My mother. Mommy, Momma, friend. Thank you just doesn't say enough. I know that I've hated you, loved you, been in disagreement with you. But, your like God, you've never given up on me, you don't hold grudges towards me, and you don't do anything else but have unconditional faith and love towards me. This day we honor you--born back in 1963.

We love you mom, both Charlie and I. Very much.

Doubting Thomas

We all know that God is moved by our faith. That's the best place to live. But what I'm saying today is that God chases us in our doubt. In those times that we don't understand, when we have questions or feel alone and abandoned, that's when God has a way of showing up and doing something amazing in our life. He reaches out in our times of doubt so that our faith will be restored.



That's just what happened to Thomas in John 20. When Jesus rose from the dead and was in the midst of all those believers, He went looking for Thomas first—the doubter. He said, "Thomas, take a look at My nail-scarred hands." See, Jesus wasn't condemning Thomas; He was proving Himself to him. He was restoring and strengthening Thomas.



Today, no matter what you may be facing, no matter what disappointment you may be struggling with, know that God is still there. He does not condemn you, but He is reaching out His hand of strength and restoration. His love goes way beyond our doubts. Can you open your heart and receive that love today? Why don't you let Him restore your faith and hope? Let Him restore your peace. Let Him refresh the dry and broken place and pour out His abundant blessing on every area of your life.
