In This World

I have blogged a lot lately. Maybe 'tis the season. There is so much going on, yet I'm not as out and about these days. (That is a good thing for this shopaholic, staying home is the cure for spending money!) But there are many activities to attend and prepare for. Amidst it all, we can lose our time with God. The times of quietness alone with Him. Or we can bury ourselves further and deeper into Himself. The choice is ours.

Anyway, doesn't it seem the needs of this world are so overwhelming? There is so much death, sickness, so many hurting marriages, hurting hearts and depravity. I guess as long as we are in this world, there will be tribulation. But God says not to fear because He has overcome the world. But just because He has overcome doesn't make it any easier. Still, we can boldly come before His throne of grace and receive help in our time of need. The one spot of solace amidst our world's craziness.

Continue to intercede for our brothers and sisters in Christ, as well as those still don't know Him or have not surrendered to Him. Don't grow weary in your prayers. Just wanted to let you know I'm pleading, thanking and interceding right along with you. And if you have any needs, please post them in a comment and I will pray for you.

My requests:

• Peace during this time regarding the loss of our 28-week unborn baby, Amelia. Her due date was Dec. 15th. We are remembering her and sad moments come upon us.
• Continued work for our construction company, Verity Contracting.
• The girls in Bible Club would receive Christ as Savior. And those who have, would grow spiritually.
• My Grandma Louise's spinal nerve has narrowed and is causing her pain. She receives shots tomorrow. Please pray that God would restore her and she wouldn't have to have surgery. Also, that God gives the doctors wisdom.

Thank you!
