Pray the Hardest, when it is the hardest to pray

God, hear my prayer. Please reach down and touch her heart. Let her feel your presence with her. God, hear my prayer. Please reach down and touch her heart. Make it go back to its regular beats and  stay there.She wants tp be home with her pets and plants. God, hear my prayer. Please give her hope by touching her heat. Hope that it will last a long time. Healing  where she doesn't get short winded taking just 10 steps to the kitchen.  God, hear my Prayer. Please give her her strength back when  you touch her heart so she can do things. Things like gardening, scrapbooking, and  all of her other hobbies.  God, hear my prayer. Please reach down and touch her heart. Apparently, this is something only you know  how to do. If it is not, then give the doctors   wisdom so they know what they are doing. However, you want to Heal her just please  do it for the doggies' sake.  

Deuteronomy 7:1-2 Deuteronomy 20:16-17 Rehab 7 lesson of God's salvation  1. God saves imperfect people for his prefect plan. 2. God judges and punishes sin.             -justice=judgment       -God was not and is not genaotial.       -God is a God of Mercy. Gave them time and let them hear other events but they didn't come to repentance. Cannites.         -God's story of redemption is unfolding.         -We are still people at war. Spiritual warfare.         -God chose to punish one person for all nations. Not punish all the nation like in Old Testament. 3.

             Dear Daddy,                      As I am sitting here looking at hope in my life, I just want to thank you for Hope. It was You clothed as Hope to get me through the changes of my life. You made me a girl that doesn't like changes so I could see the Hope in You. Don't know what you have planned for the future but apparently it has needing Hope in it. Why would I be learning about Hope my 1st year of marriage? With You, though, I can handle it!                    In Jesus' name, Amen

       Hope can mean so many things. We usually want something when we say it but it means so much more. We have Hope in Jesus. We can look at Him at anytime. Hope is good and bad. In the darkness and in the light. No better time to see that then at Easter and through my dad. There was no mistake that my dad was born in the month of Easter. The month of Hope. The way I look at it. He needed all the hope he could get in his lifetime. From raising 4, no wait, 6 kids to all the cancers he had. He needed something to hold on to. Never thought about it but hope is probably what gave him the strength for everything. He kept having more that he hoped to see with his 6 kids. Hope that he had enough strength to see evry one of his children grow up. Hope to make it through his drs. Degree with 4 children during the summers because he knew he needed to do it for them. Hope that he would be the 1st to graduate from college in his family even with dylixa. A heard time reading. Ho...

        These last two Christmas breaks have been total opposite but at the same time they have been really good and reminded me of different things.            Last year's Christmas break (2021) was all about finding my wedding dress. That is what we did for my birthday shopping day and we went on my birthday the 27th. We celebrated it that way. Sharon came with us to join in on the fun. After we went to two different places to try on wedding dresses, we found the one. The two places that we went were David's Bridal and Gracie's. We found my wedding dress at Gracie's. I tried on about 3 to 4 dresses at David's bridal. At Gracie's, I tried on about the same number of dresses. We also ate out at a small restaurant.            This Christmas break (2022) was my family oriented. On the 27th, we had a Christmas / birthday dinner with almost all of the family there and Sharon. We even opened on Christmas presents...
