Romans 5:1-11
“Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.”
First of all God is so good and gracious! And praise be to Him that He works all things for the good of those who Love Him.
I want to apologize for kinda being “out of it” at the devos, a lot of BRB's and AFK's. But life has been crazy lately. Lord willing the distractions during the devos will slow down.
Please pray for my father, we finally got real information from the doctors.... [ER didn't give us the right information] He does not have a pinched nerve or herniated disc. He has a broken back. [From when my grandfather fell in early June, and my Father picked him up.] He has two vertebrates that have multiple stress fractures and two of his vertebrates are kicked cockeyed [I forget the term] But of course the Doctors say go here, go there, and all with a month in between appointments! Grrrr!
My grandfather had a doctor's appointment on Monday, and he is doing physically well praise God! But it looks like he had two strokes instead of one, and he still is having vision, memory, and speech issues from the stroke and the large brain bleed. But praise God no parallelization etc. from it. His brain is broken due to the stroke, and he is realizing it.😥 But he is still his normal self, joking, talking, [eating cookies and candies. LOL] I ask you please continue to pray for his Salvation. As well as for my grandmother's.
My dear friend who is closer than a sister to me, just had to have an emergency C-section, Praise God she is healing well and the baby is growing. [almost 10 lbs!] He is so stinking cute! He has me wrapped around his finger already! But please pray for their other 3 children, they all are sick with foot hand and mouth...
Trying to save something of a garden, because I haven't been able to really tend it. Pretty much all of my tomatoes are dead, but thankfully just had a harvest of honey dew melons, [they are my favorite] They have a really good flavor this year. The peppers are doing really well, and my herbs have gone nuts!
Lost a chicken, [hawk] but my new flock is doing really well. They were mislabeled as chicks, so I have 6 Easter-eggers hens and 1 surviving barred rock chick from the ones I hatched. [don't know if it is a hen or rooster yet.] On top of my other three barred rock hens. They're so pretty and lay good eggs. :-)
I have a praise report, found out I was low in iron, but now eating more foods that are high in iron and feeling better, with much more energy. God is good!
Selfishly I ask that you would pray for me to get back on a normal sleep schedule, Been staying up later with everything going on, and I need to get back to a routine esp. with school starting next month.
So yeah it has been crazy, But God is good! And I thank Him for His great mercy and Loving kindness toward me and my family. Alot of going back and forth to my grandparents house [45 min away] and to multiple stores, which has allowed many opportunities for Evangelism. God is good!
I love you all very much, and you are all in my prayers. Please let me know if there is anything you need prayer for. Thank you for your prayers, God hears the prayers of His people and will answer according to His will which is perfect and best for us.💕
Hebrews 12:1-2
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.”
Much Love in Christ,

Amen and amen for you too!
I think this was posted during the time I was sick and out of it. Sorry I missed it, although I have been praying for most of this. Your dad's back is broken??? How can they miss that?? Lord have mercy!! Please. the chicken info is new, and the garden update is new and low iron is new. On it in prayer. What foods do you eat to help raise your iron? I eat liverwurst, cream of wheat, and beans.
Praying for you sweetheart. Take care of yourself too. Love and hugs and prayers.

Praying for you and your family
