I'm honored to be listed as a positive influence in your life :) this morning reading your blog post, is a positive encouragement for me. It's good to hear the creative ways you and your family are coming up with to help your daughter through such a difficult diagnosis.

Linda, There are days when I wish I was stronger, but that is when God is our strength--in our weaknesses. I'm sorry for your loss. It's hard to carry on alone when someone that close to us is gone.

I think you do have strength and courage in yourself. It sounds like you haven't given up and we all struggle in our relationship with the Lord, especially when we don't understand His ways and why things are happening to us. Thank you for sharing your story and for praying for us. I pray God's strength and blessings in your life.

DAUGHTER OF JOY is a beautiful story of redemptive love. Abby's walk of faith, sometimes followed by sheer force of will alone, resonated in my heart. And Conor's painful journey back to the safe harbor of a loving and forgiving God brought me to tears. Thank you, Ms. Morgan, for such a memorable read.

2012-05-30T05:14:49.381-04:00

It a blessing just hearing about the way God works in people's lives. I am still struggling with my relationship with God. Don, my late husband, was my teacher, best friend, pastor, and the one who brought me back to the Lord. We only had 6 years together before he pasted. I admire your strength and your daughter's courage. I hope that I my find that in myself one day. God bless you and your family. I will keep you all in my prayers.

Dee, Thank u so much. There are so many things she's struggling to understand, but I treasure days like today. She came home from school in a happy mood and talking and writing her songs. Thank u 4 your prayers!

Oh how wonderful she received that plaque from those who are praying for her! My heart goes out to her and to you and your husband, too. We are continuing to pray for her as she journeys forward with this.

Thank you Dwayne for sharing your word of exhortation to pray. Even though I live in New York State, in any season, with God all things are possible. Thank you for reminding me to not to grow weary living out and sharing the love of Christ to a hurt and confused world.

2012-05-10T11:35:25.412-04:00

Amen! Sin is sin. But it is difficult when someone we love is living this lifestyle. I agree we must stand for the truth while loving these people into the kingdom of God. Wouldn't it be great to be known as "lovers" instead of "haters?" :)

Great points, Dwayne. Those who want to show compa...

2012-05-10T11:34:51.814-04:00

Great points, Dwayne. Those who want to show compassion aren't our enemies, they're just misguided. Deceived, as you say. This is a time for prayer.

Glad it's inspiring.

Marsha, I haven't thought of it like that. Thank you for sharing that piece of knowledge.

Truly the Word is the only book that, as Eugene Peterson says, reads us as we read it.

Have a blessed Sunday - Marsha

You have put so much in a couple of paragraphs. Glad I stopped by.

2012-04-30T11:35:06.395-04:00

Fun enough, I have been thinking about this subject a lot lately. I definitely am thankful for a lot of our modern inventions, and I am thankful that women are not just viewed as pretty decorations and a provider of heirs. However, there are loads of things from the past that I greatly admire. I like the slower pace of life, and the huge emphasis on the family. The more I think about it, the more I realize how backwards so much of our culture is completely backwards. It is very sad.

I was just thinking about this truth this morning!...

2012-04-30T10:18:15.721-04:00

I was just thinking about this truth this morning! I've seen some sad cases of this happening in our church lately, and it breaks my heart. Damaging words do so much to quench faith and hope, which are two areas God wants us to thrive in. I hope I can be someone that speaks life to others so I can display a true portrait of who God has shown Himself to be in my own life.

In the writing journey, I think it's even more important to speak truth in a loving way and not scorn others. We are all at different places. It's hard work, and we all need encouragement along the way.

Amen!

2012-04-29T19:28:11.863-04:00

Amen!

2012-04-26T09:48:27.037-04:00

Good word. Sometimes I think we scorn out of fear. Fear of rejection or fear of getting involved. God is faithful to change our hearts.
Blessings!

We visited over Christmas break and we enjoyed it a lot, being from Indiana and leaving snow behind!

During a welcome to one of the shows the MC said the audience was made up of family we hadn't met yet, which I thought was cute and thought-provoking.

I did like seeing the replica of the temple of Herod's time.

DH would love to take his parents but the logistics are staggering.

I have long longed to visit the Holy Land. What a great time of year you selected to make the trip. No doubt you have a deeper sense of the "awe" of it all - - this thing we call Easter ... that which robbed death of it's sting.

Blessings,
Kathleen

This is so amazing. I've never heard of this place. We've been to Busch Gardens more than once and enjoyed the experience. This is a wonderful trip for the Easter weekend. Thank you for sharing.
