Why am I so excited? Well where do I begin? Yesterday was the 4th of July and I fell down the stairs. I hurt my left knee, which has been torn before and so I am limping now. That's not exciting. Even though I am in pain I am packing and looking forward to going to Mexico on a 2 week mission trip. I know that God has been preparing Dr. Sandrie S. Smith and I for many months.
I have to admit that the feelings have been up and down lately, but that's just it. We don't go by feelings. Thank you Lord for allowing me to go to Mexico. I pray that your will be done here on earth as it is in heaven.

Staying Focused Is Hard to Do
Well today was a good day. Can't complain, however, I find myself thinking of so many things. Maybe it could be that many people around me lately seem to be very ill or have just passed away.
Don't misunderstand me I do not fear death. What disturbs me is that there are so many times I take things for granted. Maybe you can say that it's the selfish side of me that says I would like to spend time by myself or spend time doing other things that I think are important, but the truth is it may be a distraction. Do you know distractions can be good things, however, anything that takes you off the final goal is a distraction.
Today I won't complain, but I am going to try to stay focused.

Interceding for Friend to be Healed from Cancer
One of the hardest things to do is believe that God can still heal our diseases. Even when it seems impossible and that there is no hope ~ God says that He has the last word and that our job is to pray and stand in the gap. Trusting that God has the best answer.
Psalms 91:1-16 -
“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust.
For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover thee with his pinions, And under his wings shalt thou take refuge: His truth is a shield and a buckler.
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, Nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
For the pestilence that walketh in darkness, Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
A thousand shall fall at thy side, And ten thousand at thy right hand; But it shall not come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, And see the reward of the wicked.
For thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge! Thou hast made the Most High thy habitation;
There shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.
For he will give his angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways.
They shall bear thee up in their hands, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: The young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under foot.
Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble: I will deliver him, and honor him.
With long life will I satisfy him, And show him my salvation.”

Answered Prayer
Scripture Of The Day: "Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed." - John 20:29 (KJV)
Life can be filled with disappointments. These disappointments can be of cause stumbling blocks to our faith. Many times we feel that God has let us down and that He has forgotten us. Moreover, at times what we have asked for never comes about or our answer is not what we expected.
God's infinite wisdom mankind would never comprehend. That is why when Christ died Thomas was so disappointed, but that disappointment led to the greatest gift to mankind.
