Welcome to my online diary, enjoy your stay!
You always have a friend in me.
Yes, life can be rough at times. If you have a minute, please stop by and read my entry about my deceased son.
my
goes out to you..
It has been quite a while since I have posted anything here. I have been very neglectful in updating on what has been going on with my son since my last post.
The next day after I posted my son went into a rehab center. He spent 28 days there and when he got out he moved into a halfway house. With the help of God he is doing so good. He has been in rehab twice before and has tried several times to get off the alcohol and drugs but would be back on them within a month. This time he is really working the program and relying on God more. He is chairing meetings, is assistant manager of the halfway house and has 6 months sobriety now. I know that it is not a easy thing he is doing and I am so very proud of him.
I thank God every day for what he is doing for my son and ask that he continue to give him strength.
This was the e-mail I received in God's Daily Promises on Feb 1st the day before my son went into rehab and I was praying for him. Of course I was praying day and night for him and do all the time but this was a good time for me to get this and very encouraging for me to get it when I did. I truly believe that God speaks to us in numerous ways and I feel this was one of the times.
This week's promise:
Wherever we go God is there
How can I experience God's presence in my life?
". . . when you pray, I will listen . . you will find me when you seek me."
Jeremiah 29:11-13 NLT
Seeking and finding God requires consistent and purposeful prayer.
All scripture is from the New Living Translation (Tyndale House Publishers, 1996).
Lord I met a very nice lady outside of the Sarah Cannon Cancer center today. She was waiting for her husband who was inside. He had recently been diagnosed with lung cancer and told that he had a short time left. He has been taking treatments and they learned today that the tumors had reduced in size 50 percent in a months time. Thank you Lord for that and I humbly ask that you continue to shrink this dreadful cancer. I pray Lord if it is your will to please take this from him and heal him. I know that you are a loving father and you have the power to heal. This man is only 42 years old and I beg you father please give this couple more time together and give them strength when they are worn.
One day at a time Lord help us to stand tall
Keep us safe in your arms for we are weak
When we stumble do not let us fall
And most of all Thank you Lord for always being there when we call on you.
In our Precious Lord Jesus name I pray
Amen
