“From him the whole body …
grows and builds itself up in love,
as each part does its work.”

Our Georgia granddaughter, Peyton, had a bicycle accident with a mailbox last night. She broke both bones in her lower forearm. They are taped for now. Peyton will get a cast in a week. Please pray for her.
Today marks six months since I broke the top of my right upper arm (at the shoulder). It is still not 100%, but is much better than it was at first. I see the doctor again at the end of the month. Pray for continued improvement.
“Miss” Blanch Wheat’s funeral will be this morning. Pray for her family.

Heart to Heart with Holley: Beyond your limits…
Posted: 13 Jun 2011 06:51 AM PDT
A new week unfolds, full of possibilities. Yet I feel questions closing in on me like the walls of a box too.
Do I have what it takes?
Is there enough time?
How will it all work out?
Then a line my pastor spoke a few weeks ago at church drifts into my heart…
Your potential is not limited by you because you have a limitless God living in you.
Suddenly the walls disappear and I’m free, standing in wide open spaces and looking ahead to all God has for me.
Whatever you face this week, it is not too big for Him.
And whatever you think your limitations are, you are not too small for Him to use you.
So go for it, friend!
{I’m cheering you on as you do.}
Have a terrific day!
