When It Rains it Pours

Well this has not been an easy year so far. We have certainly been through the fire and unfortunately we have yet to see the end of it. Sometimes God allows us to go through difficult times and we don't always understand why. It's been really difficult this year to see God's goodness in hard situations, but I know it's always there (always has been and always will).

Well here we go on our latest tragedies.

Without be too specific, I have found out in the last week that two family members have been diagnoised with cancer in the 3 and 4 stages. Please pray for them and the rest of my family. Pray for healing and for peace in this turmoil. Pray that God will use this to turn their hearts to him.

Philippians 4:6-7

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Isaiah 43:2

When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.

Another lesson in morality

I can honestly say that this is a lesson I'm sick of learning. Today (May 1) I lost another special friend. My Mark (I wish the picture gave him justice) went to be with Jesus today. I never got to say good-bye and I hope he knows how much I loved him. Marky had been sick off and on for a while, but he always seemed to bounce back. This time, at the ripe old age of 16ish, he decided he was done fighting and wanted to see Jesus. This has been a rough year for us and our pets. Please pray for us...I don't even know what or how at this point, I just know we need it. Thank you God for giving us such a wonderful kitty and take good care of him. I love you Marky and will always miss you!
