September 2, 2017 Saturday

            This was a long day for me and I was so proud I could do it all.  For lunch we met with Gus and Jeanie Angle from McKendree.  It was so good to see them and to talk about our time at McKendree and the people there.  We had six years at McKendree and so many friends and people we love.

            When I left First some hoped I would remember them.  I remember Well Springs, Cawood, Flat Hollow which is closed, Morrison Chapel, Washington Chapel which is closed, Asbury, Church Hill First, McKendree as well as First Jefferson City.  Each one and some many we served and still love continue to be in our prayers!  They blessed me more than I ever blessed them.

            Some thought God should heal me but I told them that when I was 19 God saved my soul and my life from a terminal disease.  For over 30 years I saw and experienced the Grace of God, I saw His light come to the eyes of many, I received a family when they told me I would not be able to have children and My Love has held me and I have sat in His lap many times. His will now is that I go through this time of pain and suffering and being torn by horrific memories I had hidden.  Blessed be the Lord and My Love!  I give thanks to God when I have seen Him bring them to Himself and I give thanks for the horrific pain at times feeling like someone is removing a bone from my legs without anesthesia.

            My Love allows me to sit in His lap and be comforted and at that time I and refreshed and re-created.  And My Loves tells me when I make Him smile!!!

            I also was able to attend Melanie’s, my sister-in-laws, Birthday party.  It was good to be able to be there for a family celebration.  I have missed so many!
