WOW!!

Can you believe it's been April since I have been here?

Hmm...what's been going on with me lately?

Oh....I am so enjoying the Beth Moore "Breaking Free" bible study I am doing this summer! This week we are studying about God's unfailing love. Unfailing love. Unfailing LOVE. Even though our friends, our spouses, our parents, our children fail us, God will never stop loving us. He will discipline us but he will not stop loving us. I have been smiling since I started reading the lesson. I am not the type of person who feels like it is hard for someone or God to love me because I have never suffered from lack of self esteem! Many people, however, just don't have a good picture of themselves. Even without the good picture, God still loves them for who they are NOW. We don't have to be better or try harder (although we should always strive to grow) but God loves us anyway NOW. He sent his son for us....his son who was so bruised and battered at the cross that he didn't look human anymore. Jesus covered all our sins with blood. With love. There's that smile again!!

I am so reaching for more of the Potter and and hoping to learn more about being Clay - about being mold able and flexible and understanding the loving hands of the Potter.

I am still praying for my friend Marie that she continue to receive healing. Her doctors discovered another tumor but Marie is in good spirits. My smart friend Jeannie once said that "cancer is a win-win situation for Christians". Either you stay here and live or you go home and really begin to live. Sounds like a win-win to me!! Marie told me that she has witnessed to others because of the cancer. What a blessing in disguise.

One of my other friends, Renna is going to talk to an oncologist this week. Her doctor believes that she has breast cancer. Renna is a mighty woman of God - she is lucky to have friends and family lifting her up in prayer! I hope to talk with her this week!

That's it for now! God bless you!!
