Remembering Again that God Takes Care of the Little Birds

My home now is completely different 
from our old home place. 



I'm trying to just feel like it's a clean slate
and not mourn what was.


I still keep bringing out the birds to remind me 
of God's care for me.

I was so heartbroken today to hear that 
a young wife and mother with a four year old little boy
has cancer.  It has metastasized to her lymph nodes 
and the doctors are trying to find out where it started.

I am so burdened for her.  She is the niece of my best friend
growing up.  I still believe in God's healing.

When my son-in-law had cancer, 
the Lord gave me a song, 

I am the God that healeth thee
I am the Lord your healer.
I send my Word and heal your disease, 
I am the Lord your healer.

The same day, 7 hours away, 
the Lord gave him the same song. 

Seven years later, he is cancer-free.

Please join me in praying for Emerald.
Emerald was born without a cornea in one eye.
She was an honor student and has done great in life
despite the challenges. 

No, this doesn't seem fair. 
I am hurting for her. 

Please join me in praying for Emerald.

With a heavy heart, 
Bonnie:(

  7. When I walk on the treadmill, I use the time to pray. This morning while walking I asked God what He wanted from me today and I got - Be still and know that I am God. Then I come here, and see it again!
    Yes, I will pray for Emerald.

  8. Hope you get used to your new house! There are so many I pray for...so many hurting...sometimes I say a blanket prayer for all of those who are suffering in one way or the other. Blessings to you, to the young mother and to Emerald as well.
