During this past week of severe testing, we have been upheld by His victorious right arm.
Each day we wake with our ever-present trial and His ever-present help.
He has gone before us. We look back and see His whispers and His thoughts prepared us for such a time as this. We are not distraught, but hard-pressed. It seems impossible, and we plead for miracles.
Praise God that we serve One who specializes in miracles!
Please do not stop praying. In fact, we ask you to increase.
Thank you all for your emails, comments, affirmations of love, fervent prayers, and your silent support.
We feel them all.
I think this is one of the hardest things we’ve faced. Many have been concerned and asked about my cancer. Truthfully, I haven’t thought about it in weeks. My cancer is nothing compared to this.
Yet, despite the suffering, many times during each day, those of us involved have broken down in tears of joy and worship, as we see the Lord reveal His plan to us, and grace us His presence.
We are like Moses and the children of Israel huddled on the shores of the Red Sea, with the enemy behind us.
But, we know something they didn’t know as they huddled in terror, the Lord WILL part the seas, and we WILL walk through on dry ground.
Praying for strength and comfort for what you are going through..

I always remember this in times of trails. "He has not given you a heart of fear."I went for a rare run alone today. In the final mile you came into my mind and I lifted you up to the Lord.Thank you for sharing with your readers. Prayers continue.

Amen, Mindy! Our anchor is sure and steadfast, and when we pass through the waters, He is with us!We pray for you as you cling in utter dependence to the Lord. It's good to know that He knows the outcome and eventually uses all things for His own glory…. He will see you through!"He only is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold; I shall not be shaken. On God my salvation and my glory rest; the rock of my strength, my refuge is in God."Psalm 62:6,7

We're currently getting hit with a foot of snow and I decided to take a quick walk before JetSki woke up to eat. The snow looked so beautiful and I felt joyous in the Lord and prayed as I walked. I thought of your family and prayed for you. It's so wonderful that even through a snowstorm our prayers go straight to the throne of God. He is faithful in whatever storm we go through. He hears our prayers. He has a perfect plan. To God be the glory great things He has done. We are thinking and praying for you!! Love you!!!

Two verses:"You [God] trampled the sea with your horses, churning the great waters. I heard and my heart pounded, my lips quivered at the sound; decay crept into my bones and my legs trembled. Yet I will wait patiently for the day of calamity to come on the nation invading us. Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olvie crop fails and the frields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior. The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer," Hab. 3:15-19a (NIV)and"He will proclaim peace to the nations. His rule will extend from sea to sea and from the River to the ends of the earth. As for you, because of the blood of my covenant with you, I will free your prisoners from the waterless pit. Return to your fortress, O prisoners of hope; even now I announce that I will restore twice as much to you." Zech. 9:10b-12 (NIV)Love you guys. 🙂

I will not stop praying. I just prayed again for you. I do not know your situation, but I do know that we serve a God who is passionately in love with His children. He calls us His beloved. We are in union with Christ and nothing can separate us from the Love of God in Christ. In reading Isaiah right now I am learning much about God's love in spite of Israel's unfaithfulness. Be encouraged today that you have a Savior who has already fought the battle for you and is right now at the Father's throne pleading and interceding for you.

Oh Mindy, I just read your last three posts. You guys sound devestated and totally heartbroken! I'm praying for ya'll! Remember His power is made perfect in weakness!

Hello Mindy, I have been reading your last few posts this morning. Im not sure what your heartbreak is, but the prayer request about the truth really hit home with me. I have been dealing with a heartbreaking situation that requires the same three answers. I can understand your pain because I am feeling it too — for you and for me. I know how to pray for you now. There is no greater pain than that of an unwarranted attack. Satan knows where to strike and who he can use to hurt you. But God knows who to use to strengthen you. It looks to me like He has brought some wonderful bloggers to pray for you!Blessings and health to you. Jan
