The Bible says to pray without ceasing. It does not say to self-publish without
ceasing. That is why I have been so
quiet on Facebook and on my blog over the last several weeks. Sometimes, I have to stop and ponder things
in my heart and not rush to put my thoughts into print right away.
The last few weeks have been full of both good and difficult
circumstances. On the pleasant side,
Zachary and I are eagerly anticipating our baby’s arrival. There are only about five weeks left until
the due date. We have enjoyed many road
trips together – even if many of them were caused my doctor and midwife
appointments. We even had a nice getaway
to visit our families over the weekend.

On the flip side, things have happened over the last several
weeks that are not good, are outside of my control, and pertain to people I
care about deeply. I am convinced that Satan has come to steal, kill, and
destroy, and we must constantly be on our guard to fight against his lies. Right now, I am struggling to write even this
much because my emotions are in such upheaval, but I know that our Heavenly
Father cares deeply – more deeply than I ever could. He loves perfectly when we as frail human beings
fail. His grace is sufficient. His power is made perfect in weakness. So, I will continue to pray and leave the
outcome to God.

Praying, dear! I understand in so many ways. The last two weeks of my life have also borne witness to Satan's attacks on many of those dearest to me. :(.
My encouragement has come this past week from listening to Moody Radio's broadcast of Founder's Week. The theme was the hope within us. What a blessing to know that we do have a blessed hope of heaven. Satan shall be thrown into the lake of fire, no more to torment God's children nor to deceive the hearts of men.
I know I'm something of a distant acquaintance, but know that I write this in the spirit of compassion for you as my sister in Christ. I will pray for you ever more earnestly!
In His love,
Melanie
You're a great encourager, so I know the Lord will bless you and encourage you in turn!
Melanie, thank you for your prayers. We do have a blessed hope! We serve an awesome God!
Thanks, Dad!
