healing will come

I know that there are several of you who visit frequently that are not on facebook. So I thought I would share this link here as well. 

I had many thoughts the last few weeks... about my country [America] and about the elections that took place yesterday. As disappointing as the outcome was, I truly am not discouraged. 

I am CONVICTED! 

And as I contemplated how to convey my thoughts... I was met with this post by a friend this morning: I Will Heal.

I will not restate all of her thoughts, but I will say that God HAS promised healing to His people... [and yes, I realize that verse is spoken directly to Israel... but I believe the principle holds true to all who follow Him] 

...but this healing is CONDITIONAL. He will not bring it upon a proud and unrepentant people.

As my Pastor often says: where there is LIFE there is HOPE. Hope for salvation. Hope for peace inside. Hope for life beyond this one.

And in the same turn: 

where there is HUMILITY there is this promise... of healing. 

Please read her post... 

{also, I am doing Days of Thankfulness on my facebook page... and will do a summary post of them at the end of the month....}

Remembering 9.11.01

There are many words I could use to describe this day. But I won't.

If you are an American, you will never forget this day. Sometimes I can hardly believe it was eleven years ago.

Here is a video I made last year for the 10-year memorial. We showed it in our church.

Tonight I will hug my babies a little snugger. I will hold my man a little closer. And I will be thanking God for all His blessings on me!  

And I will be praying a little harder for my country and the soon coming decisions we each must make about what happens 2 months from today.
