Day 136 - October 28 - Reporting back

For those interested, the van was exactly what we need for the boy. It was readily apparent that God laid the groundwork, and the seller and I were able to negotiate a price that was agreeable to both of us and (barely) within the range of what I hope we will be able to afford. Speaking of which, those of you that made suggestions of ways to help, you touch my heart by such generosity. It astonishes me that folks we don't even know would want to help us - I know it's true, but it still makes me boggle at the thought.

I've been giving a lot of thought to a couple of things that were posted the other day. The first was a comment someone made that they were praying that God would "possibly" heal Connor. The second was something a sister posted about the devil loving to see us begging for things that Christ already gave us...

Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

- Jesus

Mark 11:24


I just thought we could all use the reminder...

Ya know what that van kinda reminds me of...the Scooby Do Van. With a bit of paint...it would be cool! Scooby Do Cool!

The boys and I are camping this week (yes, we have internet access). We have been taking extra time to lift you all up in pray during this "down time" away from the business of daily life in the Silicon Valley. Specifically, I pray that you are calmed and cared for by the Body of Christ that has surrounded all of you during this time.

OK, I'll post to add to this - He is. Today I'm declaring a day of praise. God is worthy of praise! I pray that I, and all of you who read this, will set our faces to give Him glory in all we face today.

Praise Him with me today!

Amen! Praising God for all he has done. "All I have needed Thy hand hath provided. Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me."

Nice ride! Of course, I understand that every young man wants a nice set of wheels, so I'm glad Connor approves. I mean really. You can't expect him to take a nice young lady out on a date in a beater, can you? I mean really!

God is indeed GOOD! I join you in praising Him but not just for today but every day!! I like the comment about the Scooby Do van and think we ought to ask Connor what he thinks of the idea. Love to you all!
