Hey friends, happy Saturday from Odie. Today we are traveling to Flora, Illinois. We are anticipating a wonderful week in a new church for us.
I hope you had a great week. We greatly enjoyed our week in Evansville, Indiana. It was so good to be with Pastor John Eaton and everyone at Full Gospel Mission. God met with us in a sweet way every service.
This week is the 1 year mark since I had my vision problems. If you are a new reader, for 9 days last April I was completely blind in my left eye. At the end of the 9th day God began to restore my vision. According to my Nuero- ophthalmologist by August 2014 my "blind eye" had 20/30 vision. We still daily give God praise for a miracle! Glory to God for His touch.
I received a miracle because countless people carried a burden for me and interceded to God for me. I will forever be grateful for everyone that bombarded Heaven on my behalf! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for praying for me when I was in need of a miracle.
God bless you for caring. God bless you for loving. God bless you for putting that love into action. The love of my family, the love of my friends and mostly the love of God strengthened me through this very dark time for me.
I have been pondering the Jason Crabb song "Love Is Stonger". This song is packed with powerful lyrics. It is not a new song, but listen to it and savor the words of this song. Maybe you have come through your valley and can look back and rejoice. But if you are surrounded right now by storms and can not find sunlight I want to encourage you to hold on to the love of an awesome God. The end of your hard time will come! God's love will conquer.
Have an excellent weekend!

Love Is Stronger
You went down one of those roads
Nobody should have to go
Life sure got real real fast
You couldn't see your way out
Your world was under a cloud
All you could feel was helpless
You didn't think you could do it
Oh but you got through it
You kept faith when you didn't have a prayer
Found hope when it wasn't even there
Up against the impossible you just wouldn't back down
You kept fighting
That heavy cross you carried
Ain't weighin' you down any longer
Life is tough but love is stronger
You're finally facing the sun,
Your brighter days have begun
Look at you now just soakin' it in
You're smiling, you're laughing
You're happy you're living
Nobody should have to go
Life sure got real real fast
You couldn't see your way out
Your world was under a cloud
All you could feel was helpless
You didn't think you could do it
Oh but you got through it
You kept faith when you didn't have a prayer
Found hope when it wasn't even there
Up against the impossible you just wouldn't back down
You kept fighting
That heavy cross you carried
Ain't weighin' you down any longer
Life is tough but love is stronger
You're finally facing the sun,
Your brighter days have begun
Look at you now just soakin' it in
You're smiling, you're laughing
You're happy you're living
Every moment surrounded by
All the beautiful reasons why
You kept faith when you didn't have a prayer
Found hope when it wasn't even there
Up against the impossible you just wouldn't back down
You kept fighting
That heavy cross you carried
Ain't weighin' you down any longer
Life is tough but love is stronger
You kept faith when you didn't have a prayer
Found hope when it wasn't even there
Up against the impossible you just wouldn't back down
You kept fighting
That heavy cross you carried
Ain't weighin' you down any longer
Life is tough,So tough but love is stronger
All the beautiful reasons why
You kept faith when you didn't have a prayer
Found hope when it wasn't even there
Up against the impossible you just wouldn't back down
You kept fighting
That heavy cross you carried
Ain't weighin' you down any longer
Life is tough but love is stronger
You kept faith when you didn't have a prayer
Found hope when it wasn't even there
Up against the impossible you just wouldn't back down
You kept fighting
That heavy cross you carried
Ain't weighin' you down any longer
Life is tough,So tough but love is stronger
