Praise God for an Amazing Daughter

    My husband and I are so blessed.  We have a beautiful daughter that has chosen to help others by taking care of their eyes.  She graduated Optometry school after 4 years of under graduate school and 4 years of Optometry school.  During her schooling she spent a lot of her time at the inner city clinics and made a mission trip to Ecuador.  She had an amazing experience and learned that her knowledge and expertise was a gift beyond belief to the people she and the team she was with, served.
  
   We praise and thank you God, for this beautiful daughter that you entrusted us with.  She is a delight and crazy joyful wonder to us.  Thank you, that she has such and happy giving spirit.  She is strong and determined.  Guide her in Your Way, that she always seeks Your guidance and always remembers  where her talents have come from.

   We praise Your Holy Name, Lord.

Pray for a Beautiful Sister

   The sister is my beloved cousin.  She suffers from chronic pain.  She has seen many specialists with very little relief.  The pain is draining her spirit.  She is a woman of great faith.  She has given her talents to caring for people at great cost to her health.  Pray with me for her healing and strengthening of spirit.
The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.  James 5:16.

Dear Father,
   Release our sister from the pain that has dominated her life for so long.  Give her the power to drive the pain from her body, the strength to dominate the pain as it has dominated her.  We lift her up to you, strengthen her spirit.  Hold her close so that she feels Your strength and power so that the pain can no longer dominate her thoughts.  Drive out the darkness that threatens her spirit.  Let her only see Your face and know that through You, all things are possible.   Amen Amen

For Women

I went to an incredible conference this weekend.  It was for women "Women Walking with God".  The fellowship was great.  The atmosphere was very positive and up lifting.

The speakers were encouraging and inspiring Women of God.  The keynote speaker was Joneal Kirby PhD.  She is a family and marriage counselor who's experience and insight encourages women to fulfill their part of being a Titus 2 woman.

We sang hymns and praise music and lifted up our hearts to Jesus.

What a blessed and great day to spend with my dear friends Cheri and Carolyn.

THANK YOU GOD!!!!

A Prayer for a Friend

     I have a dear friend that just lost a nephew tragically in a motorcycle accident yesterday.  Please pray for her and her family.
            
                                     Dear Lord,  Please be with Donna and her family as they grieve their loss.  Comfort them with the knowledge that You are with them every step of the way.  Please, wrap them tightly in Your loving arms and let them feel the assurance of Your Promise to all be together again with You in heaven.
Give them strength to help them threw the next few days as they make their arrangements and begin the process of absorbing their loss.  Deeply comfort his wife and children.  Please, lessen their pain, so that it does not overwhelm them and create a darkness where Your Light should be.
    Lord, it's so hard to know what to pray, the loss is so great and I know my friend is in deep pain.  She is in love with her God and is a faithful Woman of God.  Comfort and Bless her as only You can.
    You are my Beautiful and Loving Lord.
                                                                         Amen

Giving Praise and Thanks

     Shout it out to God is dedicated to a woman of God, who in her very short life found the love of God and shared it abundantly with everyone she met.

     This is a place to simply Praise God for His many mercies and blessings.  It is a place to encourage and support fellow believers in Christ.

     Tonight, as I fought the effects of a drug reaction to antibiotics, I realized that the only thing that would truly help me threw it is God.  So, I cried out to Jesus and He heard me and I made it threw the crisis, just Jesus and I.

     And then, I knew I just had to Praise Him out-loud and share this with fellow believers and maybe some who are searching or don't believe.

     I've been thinking of doing this for awhile and tonight was the push to start.

     I'm not a highly educated person in the Bible.  I've been a believer all my life and my faith has been stronger at times and weaker at times but, tonight I know my Maker is there listening to the smallest of prayer and to weakest believer.  It only takes a mustard seed!

     Please, let's share our praise and thanks to God and our love and support of each other that, we can strengthen each other and grow in our faith and assurance that, God is listening to our smallest of prayer, for we are like the sparrow.

                                          PRAISE GOD!

                                          PRAISE JESUS!

                                          PRAISE THE HOLY SPIRIT!

     Tell your story or just express your praise.  A little or a lot.  Share good news or bad news.  Ask for prayer.  Give encouragement and support.  Or share a meaningful photo.

     I hope we can be people from anywhere,  coming together, to become a community of believers, to encourage and support each other.

     

     I praise and thank God for the life of His son, Jesus Christ, who helped me threw my time of panic and pain.  He put His arms around me, held me and reassured me that, anything I asked in His name, God would grant it to me.

     I can tell you as I received His reassurance, my panic dissipated and the symptoms disappeared.

                                          PRAISE GOD FOR HE IS GOOD!
