Pat Hoosier (written by Melissa H. Liberto)
God is awesome!!! Your prayers are such a blessing!! Dad is going to be able to start his chemo back up today. The oncologist was concerned about his liver because it didnt show up to good 3 weeks ago in a CT and then last week his protein and magnesium levels were down. Last weeks CT showed that dad’s liver looked remarkable (that’s how they described it) and the cancer in the liver has gotten much smaller in size. Yesterday his protein levels were back up and his magnesium was still down but not as much. I believe and know God wanted us to see more of his work. If last weeks bump in the road wouldn’t have happened then we wouldn’t know how great his liver was doing. Thank you God!!

No Ordinary Storm: The Joplin Tornado (A Moment of Hope) – http://moments.org/no-ordinary-storm-the-joplin-tornado/
I saw this over the weekend on the Insp channel. I hope it inspires you too. I think we are capable of so much more than we do. I also believe most of us do not live up to the potential God sees in us. This is one example of those who stepped out to live out the Scripture at the top of this post.

Sometimes we have fears. I just finished reading an essay on fears written by my sixth grade grandson, Miles. He did an excellent job and impressed me with his writing and his understanding of how to overcome fears. He named some of his fears and told how he overcame them. Immediately after reading the essay, I read this verse. I hope it helps some of you today.
“Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed.”
