Whew, what a week.

It seems that this week has been busy and stressful on one hand and so rewarding an renewing on the other. Thank God, I'm not in control. I'd be yelling let me off, stop this thing. Thank you for praying for our 9 month old granddaughter who spent the first two days of the week at Children's Hospital after having another seizure. Talk about feeling out of control. Yet, in the chaos of all of this we saw God answer our prayers by giving us reassurance and a few more answers. We discovered that seizures cause no brain damage or developmental issues. Two things we didn't know. This alone calmed our fears of what would the effects of little Ashlynn's episodes would do long term. While we are still waiting to see if God has healed her, He has answered our prayer for the Doctors to find the cause of the episodes. The unknown is worse by far than knowing the issue.

That began our week and then we saw continue to move in the life of our church. God moved in an awesome way Wed. evening during our first Wed. service. God touched someone who has been dealing with an addiction problem and he uncovered it before God and before us. He is also homeless and we took an offering to provide a place to stay. There is a powerful movement going on. Please pray for God provide for him and that he would receive the love God has in store.

God is with us no matter what is going on. He sees where we are and loves it when we join Him in his work. He is working in so many areas around us. Look around and see if God is not working where you are. Ask for eyes to see and then for the courage to take the necessary steps to join in His work with Him. You never know what will happen as a result of our leaning on Him.
