I just want to praise and thank the Lord God for my salvation. I've been in intense physical pain for 8 days now and through that time I have learned a bit about praising Him in times that are not-so-great. It does not take away the pain, but the joy and peace in my heart that makes praising possible during this time gives me comfort and peace. That you Jesus for leaving with us peace that is not of the world, but Your peace......the type that passes all human understanding.

Where You have led me to serve in ministry has also taught me so much and I thank and praise Your wisdom in this area also. I have so much more to learn Lord, but I know that I will learn a great deal serving the population You bring to the Christian Storehouse. I ask for Your wisdom in meeting needs and Your protection with the dangers involved and ask for Your peace to fall on dh and cause his worries to cease concerning this ministry location. I realize I am so blessed. I am so very blessed. No matter what happens to me in my life, my salvation is sure and is the most precious gift and blessing I could ever imagine. Thank You.....no matter how far I warnered during my years of seeking truth You were always there just waiting for me.

Thank You for blessing me with the love of a father. Filling that need that I have had all my life. "Though My Father and Mother forsake me, yet the Lord will adopt me as His own child"......what a blessing this word is that You led me to. Thank You.

How Blessed I am. Through the pain, I have my God. I have my faith and my hope and my joy. Things that can not be taken away no matter what.

Very Blessed indeed.

Amen sister. I will also pray that He continues to lift you up, fill you with His peace and love and guides you through this pain. I'm so sorry you are in pain, but Praise God for His light making sure you know how blessed you are.

Wow! What beautiful words of Praise to our Father! Isn't he such an awesome God?? And to be able to still sing praise to Him, even in times of trial/pain/suffering....
May you be blessed with the Peace of the Holy Spirit and be healed from your pain according to God's Will!

Another Blessed daughter,
