Kitty Kat, I am lifting you and your family up in prayer. I am going to share this with you, I read this just before I got some very good news from my daughter in love, Ericka. The Word of the Lord will not be returned void. His Word is manifested in our walk of faith, I am a witness to this.
Isaiah 35:1 The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad;
the desert shall rejoice and blossom like the crocus;
2 it shall blossom abundantly
and rejoice with joy and singing.
The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it,
the majesty of Carmel and Sharon.
They shall see the glory of the LORD,
the majesty of our God.
3 Strengthen the weak hands,
and make firm the feeble knees.
4 Say to those who have an anxious heart,
“Be strong; fear not!
Behold, your God
will come with vengeance,
with the recompense of God.
He will come and save you.”
5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened,
and the ears of the deaf unstopped;
6 then shall the lame man leap like a deer,
and the tongue of the mute sing for joy.
For waters break forth in the wilderness,
and streams in the desert;
7 the burning sand shall become a pool,
and the thirsty ground springs of water;
in the haunt of jackals, where they lie down,
the grass shall become reeds and rushes.
8 And a highway shall be there,
and it shall be called the Way of Holiness;
the unclean shall not pass over it.
It shall belong to those who walk on the way;
even if they are fools, they shall not go astray.
9 No lion shall be there,
nor shall any ravenous beast come up on it;
they shall not be found there,
but the redeemed shall walk there.
10 And the ransomed of the LORD shall return
and come to Zion with singing;
everlasting joy shall be upon their heads;
they shall obtain gladness and joy,
and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

THANK YOU LORETTA AND FOR THE REASURENCE RUTHY--I KNOW YOUR PRAYERS ARE WITH US. I APPRECIATE IT SO MUCH. Yesterday I was brought into tears listening to the song Diamonds. It has been my favorite for some time but it still speaks to me. This journey may not be what I hoped for---yet something much better. I feel crushed by love. I know it will take a miracle for the healing to happen but I believe in miracles. I believe in the God of the impossible. I believe in His answered prayers and His keeping of promises. Those thing keep me moving forward even when the ways of this world would certainly give up.
I need the miracle of Jesus in me to make the words that come out of my mouth be shining of Him. We all need to give love rather than hurt and anger. To consistently respond rather than react. To think and take that moment. The test of that each day is a hard love. Your prayers are part of the power that keeps me able to move forward --thank you everyone of you!
