Praise the Lord!

I have to share this testimony....... Many of you have been praying for my friend's father that has had heart issues and blockages in both legs. The Dr.'s were prepared to remove his legs because they didn't feel he was strong enough for the surgery, but God had it all figured out. Praise the Lord, he came through the surgery great and is having good circulation in his legs. The Dr.'s said he is doing wonderful. The new veins are doing what they are supposed to. He is in ICU now as a precautionary but will be moved to rehab in a few days. My friend said he has a renewed hope and is wanting to be home by Christmas to share the holidays. Their family is communicating and loving each other as well, which is maybe an even greater miracle as they have had a lot of hurts over the years. Her father has such peace and hope. God is so good! He was prepared to die just a couple of weeks ago and now God has restored him and his family.

"For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal; but the things not seen are eternal." 2 Cor. 4:17

Another friend of mine that you have all been praying for also has great news. She has been through so much in the last couple of years within her marriage and financially. She had a great job for many years, however, had to change jobs due their financial state caused, in part, by the marriage situation. God is restoring their marriage and their finances. God opened up a door for her to work for the Women's pastor of a local church. I know God is going to use all that she has endured to help other women in her situation. She is ready for God to use her mightily. Please continue to pray for God to restore her marriage fully and then some. He has done so much already. What Satan meant for harm, God turned around and is using for His glory.

"And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28

I have served the Lord for many, many years now but I am always so amazed how God delivers us at just the right time. I share this in hope of renewing your hope and faith in Christ. I get so down on myself at times when I feel I have failed Him in my daily life, but I know His grace is sufficient and He loves me. He loves you too so very much. I so desire to draw closer and closer to Him everyday. Have a wonderful Godly day!!! I love you all! :)

Praise the Lord we have His love and guidance through not only tough times but everyday! He always knows what is best for us -even in our dark hours. God's grace is always sufficient. We may not see or feel it in the midst of the storm but when we come out God's hand prints are all over the situation.
