I read your posts on and off and find great strength in them when I am feeling down. I should definitely make it a part of my everyday.
I would like to ask you all to pray for my 23month old son Trenton, who we found 3 little tick larva on last night after visiting wisconsin.
I as well as so many others knows the Hell this disease can bring to a family and individual.
Dear Jesus, you are my Father and strength. Without you I have no foundation or legs to walk on. Help me to keep my faith that you know whats best for Trenton. Please help him to not suffer from the ailments of a terrible disease.
If it takes me suffering for the rest of my life Lord with this disease, to take the place of my son.. this is my promise to you right here right now.
So I pray for a clean healthy immune system for my son and that he would be able to enjoy being a child and living a normal life.
In Jesus name Amen
PS I know there are children out there who are suffering. I do pray for them frequently as well as the whole Lyme community. My son is not the only child in the world, just my Life.

Fuel,
I am praying for dear little Trenton!
Lord, I praise you and ask you to grant our prayers to protect the health of precious Trenton from any tick-borne diseases.
I pray this in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen

Good Morning Friends,
Last Friday I began posting and thought I'd be able to comment on everyone's posts...well, that didn't happen and now the thread has grown. Praise God!
Glad to be here now and was able to catch up on your posts.
Awww, so very sad about Tracy9's brother's tragic death. Let's all be praying for Tracy9 and the family.
Sammy, I'm so happy for you...that you had a great time at the party with your friends. Glad you could get out like that. It can be so healing to get out with people you care about and who care about you.
I look forward to shareing more later.
Everyone have a great day and week!
Blessings!

Good morn family,
I have a quick question.....There is a local christian radio station I listen to, they are doing what is called Celebrate Life: I would like to nominate someone that has inspired me. If they choose my story then the person I nominate wins money and me too...which I would not keep for meyself, I would also give to this person.
I have never done something like this before and wanted to know if God would approve of getting money this way to help someone who could really use. It's not like gambling is it?
got to go, boys need a hair cut, or two or three.

MDW,
In my opinion there is nothing wrong with a contest like that.
It is to celebrate someone who has inspired and been a positive influence. That's a good thing!

MDW, that's such a great idea!
I always try to think of a way to thank people that have encouraged, helped, and inspired me. This is a really cool opportunity for you. You are such a good writer, I know that you will tell their story well. I think that God would be proud and pleased with you for nominating your friend.
I have another doctor's appt so I can't write more right now. I'll be back later Hugs!

Good day my dear family,
I have very little time, been very busy for me, but I wanted to share some thoughts with you before I leave to Florida tomorrow eve. I will not have my computer this time with me because I only have a few days to absorb God's creation and spend time with Him and my family. I hope you understand. My few thoughts.....
Her life had not turned out the way she had thought life should be, or for that matter, the way she would have planned her life. She sought happiness but, when seemed she found it, it was short lived. She sought love, but that didn't last long either. Then one day she met Jesus. His words touched and healed her broken heart. His love was the purest she had ever experienced. He showed her that life of following Him would give her all the happiness she craved and all the love she sought. In exchange for her heart, Jesus gave her life. This love is ours for the asking, this love is offered to us.
I spoke to my dear sister this morning and when we had finsihed with our gentle conversation, I sat in my chair outside listening to God speak to my heart.
We do not like to be lied to, but sometimes we fall for the lies in spite of ourselves. You see, satan plays on our weaknesses. He builds this cozy chat with us, and looks for ways to get us off track spiritually....even sometimes quoting God's Word, because he wants nothing more than to come between us and our loving God.
Close friends, as in sister's, knows each others secrets. They know what brings laughter. They "read" each others hearts. God knows all our secrets. He knows when we laugh and cry. He always waits for us to meet with Him. When we search to know Him from scripture and spend time with our Father, we discover His ways. Our prayers are our side of many conversations. He has so much He wants to share.
1 Corinthians, chapter 13 is beautiful, my sister shares with me.
Love, the word speaks to the soul, the emotions, the heart. God's love goes way beyond any kind of human love we can experience. It is the perfect love; He loves us not because He has to, not because He tolerates us, but because He is crazy in love with us. Such a love is almost unimagineable....but it's real, it's yours.
We love God and love the people around us by blessing, comforting, strengthening, and giving joy, no matter our feelings at the moment...
God gets to claim the title of the one who loves the longest.

MDW ~ Wow, another beautiful write. I hope your friend wins this contest. Either way though, what an honor that she has been nominated. A blessed friend.
I'm so glad sammy got to be 'normal' for a night of laughter and fun with friends. Another answered prayer.
I'm praying for little Trenton (that these were normal undiseased little tics and that Trenton stays fully healthy) and for Tracy...only God can heal that kind of pain.

Sammy, I also am very happy for you that you were able to attend a fun social night with dear friends. Thank you for the kind words.
I am hoping this special contest will last until I get back home and settle in when the boys go back to school Monday. The radio station chooses a write every day but, not sure when it ends. I really would like to take my time with this special write.
It has been a crazy day...still trying to come down from a rush of a day. I took dogs home to their owners and when I got back, I had a special blessing....the neighbor across the street asked if I could watch her son for a couple hours...of course, I say. God let me hold, kiss and hug on a tiny little, 10 months. Warmed my heart to love on him and see through his eyes. Amazing. Thank you God!
Boys fed and two more dogs to take care of in their home, done, whew! time to read my Bible study for the day....well in a short bit....I am hungry now.
Dekrator....thank you.

WOW! Thank you for sharing from your hearts. I have been blessed by reading this thread. Your posts are honest, thought provoking, encouraging, emotional, inspiring, challenging...
And I am reminded of
Hebrews 10:22-23
"Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds."
Since being in Florida with our family for almost a month...upon returning I have had responsibilities and commitments to take care of that I'm still working on to get caught up. Sorry I have not been able to comment on all of your posts as I would have liked to. I want you to know that you all spur me on toward love and good deeds. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts for Trenton. He is on abx and doing well. His pediatrician actually prayed with us today at his appointment... God is good!
I realized while reading this that I need to spend more time focusing on my faith and personal relationship with Christ.
I have been trying to gather as much knowledge as I can to heal myself from Lyme using this forum but cannot forget my foundation in Christ.
Have a good night and chat soon Fuel

Even though I've already started a new God Thought for the week I wanted to comment on that post by Payne.
Wayne, Beautiful words of encouragement. It's so good to have you on God Thought.
