Time for some PRAISES!!!!

GOD IS GOOD!! My heart has been heavy for weeks with pain for others.  In my last post, I shared a few of those burdens and asked you to join me in prayer, and I want to say a huge thank you to all of you who have been seeking God on behalf of my friends.  Your prayers are giving strength, comfort, and peace to many hurting hearts.  I do have updates on a couple of people from my last post, and I also want to take some time out of our busy, stressful lives to celebrate some awesome and praise-worthy things that fill my heavy heart with joy right now.  In the midst of all the neediness and pain, our God is good and is working, always, for the good of those who love Him, and He deserves to be exalted!

"C" and "D" from my last post are still seeking God with all their hearts and putting Him first in their marriage.  Their financial situation is improving and their family is thriving in ways that it never has before. Praise God for his restorative power!!

"E" from my last post is still in the midst of a custody battle with her abusive ex-husband, and is also searching for work.  Our God is providing for her needs and the needs of her children, and the first court hearing resulted in some very positive and reaffirming steps that make it clear that the judge is working to ensure that the children continue to be safe and protected.  Praise God for his provision and protection!!

Another friend, "J", is moving out of state and is seeing God work in amazing ways in her life.  She is starting a new ministry job where she has the opportunity to reach thousands in a new city, changing lives for Him in ways we can only imagine. Praise God for his divine plans for our lives!!

"K" has a micro-preemie who is thriving and growing, at home with his healthy family, and is no longer on oxygen support!  Their story is an inspiration to many fighting the same battle.  Praise God for miracles and his divine healing power!!

"L" and "M" are adopting two children from Haiti and watching God step in and overcome every obstacle that arises along the way.  Praise God for his favor and financial provisions!!

"N" has returned safely from the war in Afghanistan.  Praise God for his supernatural protection!!

"O" is pregnant and healthy after a long season of waiting.  Praise God for his perfect timing!!

I'm so glad our God is good!!
