Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! Take this week to reflect a bit on just what God has done for you.... We often immediately think to "earthly blessings". Which this past year I am thankful for the opportunity to serve Him in the IRL Ministry and the ability to walk again! That is all great stuff, but stop and think about the sacrifice that God made with Jesus on the cross.... Now that is worth shouts and praise of thankgiving!!

Vision Study going Great!

We continued with the Vision Racing study, that we have named "Winner's Circle", last Wednesday. We are a little more than half way through the Tony Dungy book study. There was a lot of participation from everyone in the study. We discussed "your security". Neat conversations which many opening their hearts... We want to get to where our faith in God is our security, no matter what. Based on our humanness, that is sometimes easier said than done. Pray that we keep that focus. Pray for the study this week. Pray the Holy Spirit will move mightily.

Praising God on the Recovery Road!

Yuh know, sometimes during our prayer time we spend all our time asking God for things. We ask Him to be with others, help us with this or that, what should we do in this situation, etc. I have been walking a mile a day for the past 3 weeks! 2 weeks ahead of schedule! I have spent that time (roughly 20 minutes) to pray. I ask God for nothing during that time. I use it specifically to give Him praise and glory and thank Him for all he has done for me and my family. I thank Him for healing me and allowing me to walk pain free! I thank Him for blessing me so much. I thank Him for Jesus and what He did for me on that cross.

My recovery is going well. The back and teeth pain are subsiding. My range of motion is increasing. Thank you for all your prayers and support! Take time today to pray. During your next prayer time, thank God this time..... and don't ask for a thing.....

Back to Work!!

I start back to work on a part-time basis on Monday! I am looking forward to "getting back in the groove". I know many of my coworkers have been greatly concerned about my condition and have been praying for me. Those prayers mean more that they will ever know! I started physical therapy last week and am walking a mile a day! I use that time to specifically praise God for having even the ability to walk again pain free! We take so much for granted in this life. Don't let a major event or tragedy in your life force you to thank God for every thing you have and every breath you take. Take time to thank Him right now........
