Moving Forward One Step at a Time

Here we are almost 3 weeks and I really can't believe it. It's Sunday evening and Stephanie is at my parents as I will pick her up on Monday. This gives my family a break and we are able to have some time together and a small break before a new week begins. My family has really been great and I'm very proud of how we've all adjusted. I just got off the phone with Stephanie and she sounded really good except she still goes back to her anxiety levels of not being saved. I ask her to let take our Bible and let’s just see if we can see this in scripture if God ever let us see if a person would really understand that they’ve not trusted Jesus and it was too late for them. The one account that I can really recognize might be in the case of Judas as he basically sold his eternal life to give Christ up and we know that story.

You might ask yourself why and how has Stephanie gotten to this point and as her Brother I even ask that. But that is just it, as you know I’m someone who has experienced depression and also experienced an obsessive type situation but in my case it was I was going to lose everything and I will tell you at the time it was very real and nothing anyone would tell me was not enough as you may have about 15 minutes of thinking clearly and bang you in a obsessive behavior again. I pray none of you ever, ever experience this or anyone in your family.

So this past week Stephanie made her 2nd visit to her doctor and he told me that he didn’t really expect her to be much better since the medication was new. He did come out and tell me she looked much better than 2 weeks ago, but still knows she’s got a long way to go. As you must know Stephanie is really missing her family and longs to go home, but we insist what good she would be if she went home today. Could she be 100% to be able to handle her responsibilities and she says no she couldn’t. So I tell her let’s press on let’s press on for the goal of seeing this to the finish line. Let’s see her mind set be 100% healed that she can go home and be the wife and mother God intended. Also I asked today to pray that everything that needs to happen in her life is done from God and not man. That it doesn’t have to be spoken that the Holy Spirit will just act in accordance with what he feels is necessary for her healing and long term healing. Holy Spirit I just ask this for her in Jesus name…Amen! Continue to pray for her sleep habits as they are getting better, that she can get the sleeping inhabitants completely out of her life. Pray for her doctors, pray for her progress, pray for a mighty miracle of complete healing.

As I close remember we're just Moving Forward One Step at a Time and that Step is with our Lord.........The Lord of Glory, The Lord of Creation, The Lord that created 350,000,000,000 galaxy's who put at least 6 million leaves on an average Elm Tree...What a God, What a Father, What a Jesus and What a Spirit....who lives in all of us who calls Him Saviour
