In His Presence

Good Morning...at least it is morning here in Michigan...

I am listening currently to a song called In His Presence. It happens to be one of my favorite songs.

It is short, but it is powerful. The words are as follows:

How I long to be.
In Your Presence.
It is the secret place.
We offer up our praise.

As we come boldly.
With honor and reverence.
We worship Christ Our King.
Right here in his presence.

We worship you our King.
Here in your presence!

Words and music by Clint Brown!

That should be our desire to stay in His presence. God is so good to us all. No matter what we are going through. Ultimately, when we live for Him, we get to spend eternity with Him. Wow! What a deal and we did nothing to deserve it.

I still totally am believing God for healing and the tremendous ministry that He has given us. How exciting it is.

Please remember to keep our family in prayer this week as I take this test and get the results on Thursday. God is good...all of the time and all of the time...God is good!

Thank you all for so much encouragement that it is almost overwhelming to me. I love you all. God bless!

I have another prayer request...our little granddaughter's 11 year old cousin was killed by a hit and run driver this week. The guy was apparently drunk and left his car at a place of business. They went to his house to arrest him. Now there are two families that their lives are changed forever. Please pray for Kaitlynne's family. They have been going through so much in other areas that this is just another blow. Kaitlynne's grandmother told me Friday that she tries not to get mad at God, so I ask you to pray for that huge family.

By His Stripes!

Arlene, we know you are safe in God 's care. i was just wondering, you mentioned your doctor 's name is Dr. Momin. That 's an Asian name. Is he Indian or Pakistani?

What a horrible thing to happen to a small child. I prayed for Kaitlyn 's family and grandma.
May God comfort them.Its so hard to say anything when such an unimaginable things happen.You can just reach out and pray or give a hug.

Dear Arlene...What a beautiful song!
And how true it is...

I am sorry to hear about such a tragedy and you are right, it involves more than one family.

Do you remember Arlene, when I first wrote to you and told you about the Parker Trio, who not only sang at churhes and concerts but also went into the prisons?
Well that is how Shannon's husband Warren Parker died.
One night they were pulling into sing at a concert and while Warren was outside directing the bus, he was killed instantly by a drunk driver...So sad and yet even though Shannon saw the whole thing from the bus window, one of her very first thoughts was concern for the driver, like his not being saved if he had been killed.
What compassion...unexplained pity that could only come from the Lord..
The drive lived but Warren entered heaven instantly.
I will pray for the dear family Arlene...both families...love Terry

Of course we are still praying for YOU and BARRY too!!

Amrita, I don't know what the doctor is. If I can think on Thursday I will ask him.

Terry, I do remember the incident and accident. How tragic, except that Warren was saved. If you want to read my daughter's blog, you will get a little more insite into what the family is going through. www.amsland.blogspot.com
Thank you and Amrita for your prayers!
