Good Report!
Boyd learned this morning that he does not have epilepsy, just migraines severe enough to cause him to faint. Thank-you, Jesus!
Boyd will have some additional appointments, but medication should be helpful with the migraines. He can drive and was driving home from the appointment when Jennie called.
“Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses.
For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought,
but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us
with groanings which cannot be uttered.”
~Romans 8:26~

| Are You starting to Forget? |
There are times when we as adults get so caught up in the “rat race” and all of our responsibilities. Perhaps we need to go to the children around us and say, “Tell me about God — I’m starting to forget.”
There are weeks when we’ve been dealing with irate customers and heavy traffic. We need to fellowship with the saints and worship God together because “I’m starting to forget.”
There are weeks when we’ve had to focus on crying babies, the paying of bills and doctors’ appointments. We need the reminder of the Lord’s Supper to see God’s love and grace because “I’m starting to forget.”
There are days when we’re so caught up in deadlines at work and getting the kids to soccer practice, days when we need to slow down a bit and spend time with God in prayer because “I’m starting to forget.”
“Only take heed to yourself, and diligently keep yourself, lest you forget the things your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life.” (Deuteronomy 4:9)
Are you starting to forget? Ask someone to tell you about God once more.
Have a great day!

My Georgia grandchildren complete two weeks of school today. They are on a quarter system which gives them a week off after each quarter. Pray for all the students who have started or will start school soon. Pray for the teachers, administrators, and support staff in each school.
Jadon’s Story: Poem

My mommy is part of an online support group of families that have IS like me. Someone posted this today and she wanted me to share it. She said I’m such a blessing to my family. She just wishes she could get some relief for me from these seizures so I don’t have to suffer. I promise I will update my page with the information from Boston. My neurologist is going to call us tomorrow with the final results and plan. Thanks for praying for me and enjoy the poem.

Momma has been able to briefly sit in a wheelchair this week. This is an example of the “baby steps” she is starting to take. Pray for her as we “walk” along with her on this new journey.
WALKING IN THE LIGHT
A young Marine and his commanding officer board a train headed through the mountains of Switzerland. They can find no place to sit except for two seats right across the aisle from a young woman and her grandmother.
After a while, it is obvious that the young woman and the young soldier are interested in each because they are giving each other “looks.” Soon the train passes into a tunnel and it is pitch black. There is a sound of the smack of a kiss followed by the sound of the smack of a slap. When the train emerges from the tunnel, the four sit there without saying a word.
The grandmother is thinking to herself: “It was very brash for that young soldier to kiss my granddaughter, but I’m glad she slapped him.”
The commanding officer is setting there thinking: “I didn’t think the young Marine was brave enough to kiss the girl, but I sure wish she hadn’t missed him when she slapped and hit me!”
The young woman was sitting and thinking: “I’m glad the soldier kissed me, but I wish my grandmother had not slapped him!”
The young Marine sat there with a satisfied smile on his face. He thought to himself: “Life is good. When does a fellow have the chance to kiss a beautiful girl and slap his commanding officer all at the same time!”
It is difficult to know exactly what is happening in the dark (as shown by three of the four characters above). There’s no light by which to gain a proper perspective. Walking in darkness can be especially dangerous.
It’s not surprising that the apostle John frequently used the images of light and darkness to describe our walk with God.
“This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.” (I John 1:5-7)
I pray that your walk today may be in the light of God’s love.
Have a great day!

I have a cousin (Linda Gail Overstreet), that is on my mother’s side of the family, that is on life support. Please be in prayer for this family. I do not have the full details, all that I know she had some problems and now on life support.
Thank you,

“Our earthly bodies which die and decay
are different from the bodies we shall have
when we come back to life again,
for they will never die.
The bodies we have now embarrass us
for they become sick and die;
but they will be full of glory
when we come back to life again.
Yes, they are weak, dying bodies now,
but when we live again they will be full of strength.”
~(1 Corinthians 15:42-43 LB~

This was too good (and appropriate in the life of my family) to not post immediately. I hope it is meaningful to you too.
Heart to Heart with Holly: You can climb the impossible…
(Posted: 03 Aug 2011 06:57 AM PDT)
The sky stretches endless blue above me. The road whirs beneath the wheels of my bike.
I can see it coming–a hill in the distance. It calls my name, dares me to climb it. I move upwards and feel the effort. Legs beg to stop. Shoulders ask for a break. Mouth reminds me I’m thirsty.
But I’ve learned that sometimes you have to ride through the hurt.
Sometimes you have to push through the hard.
That’s how you get stronger.
That’s how you beat the next hill faster.
Yes, there are seasons when we need to stop and rest or tend to an injury.
But there are other moments when the only way through is to just keep going.
To climb the impossible.
Then look out from the top and say, “I didn’t know I had it in me.”
Oh, yes, you’ve got it in you. Because you’ve got a limitless God in you too.
That means you can press on, press in, never give up.
You just might be closer than you think.
Go, friend, go.
{I’m cheering you on as you do. Yes, woo-hoo for YOU!}
