New Adventures

"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen and keep you..." Isaiah 41:10

This past week has brought new adventures and new mountains to climb for my family. I am amazed to see God's steady hand guiding my family through what He has for us. His goodness is great and mighty, and His will for us is so perfect.

Early last week my mother found out that she has a growth on her ovary that needs to be removed. Consequently, tomorrow morning she will be going in to the hospital to have it removed. We are blessed to be surrounded by loving and encouraging brothers and sisters in Christ through this. But I would still ask you to be in prayer for my mother's quick healing and recovery as well as the stability of my family through what is going on.

On a more joyful note, we have just started planting our peppers and tomatoes in little peat pots by the windowsill. My family has officially caught the "Spring Fever," and we are acting accordingly! Most of the snow around us has melted, and birds have been tweeting away. God's creation is beautiful to behold, and we are fully enjoying it!
God bless you in your travels this weekend,

Miss Rachel Grace,

I will most definitely be praying for your sweet mother, that the Lord will help her to recover quickly.
The Lord is great and mighty, indeed, and His blessings are so evident! Spring has certainly arrived here where I am, and I am enjoying it greatly!
Continue to shine your light for the Lord, dear friend!

Many Blessings,
Jenna

We will definately keep your mother and family in our prayers!
I completely understand that "spring" feeling, desiring to grow plants and feel the joy of life that is surrounding you. :)

Many Blessings,
