Thanks for visiting my diary. I've been journaling since 1984 and have chosen to share some of my entries online. They are not all positive thoughts, but I hope that reading them might be a blessing to someone who needs encouragement.
If you are just coming to my diary for the first time, please read my introductory entry, where I share some background that is important if you plan to follow this diary regularly.
Please also visit my music page, where you can hear samples from my debut CD, I Believe, which features songs written based on experiences shared in this journal.
I received a prayer request for Erica, a three-year-old with leukemia. She knows the Lord and believes in His power to heal. I believe this is a yes. I've never felt like this on hearing a request for prayer for a sick person.
The request came from Tom Cox, and Brother is written all over his post. He didn't write much, but I said I always recognized my Brothers and Sisters. It doesn't take much. I wrote him and asked him to pass along my regards to Erica. He wrote back and said to let him know if I needed prayer. I believe God led me to him and to Erica.
I am burdened for the people in America. We need to see God's Glory, and more important, we need the faith to believe in His Power. Most of our needs are so automatically met that the ones we can't meet ourselves are deemed as impossible. If someone is "healed," it is because God granted the doctors wisdom. I believe He does grant them wisdom and work through them.) But we limit His healing power to this method. We do have much room to grow in our faith.
He has shown me that, and when He showed me it was not painful as it was when other people showed me. (Because those other people have just as little faith as I have?) There are some, like Nathan, who help me to have faith by showing me faith. There are others who drive me away by questioning my faith.
I want to be a helper, not a questioner. I pray as God teaches me through my own healing. I pray that I will not lose faith in Him. The more I believe in and experience and understand His healing, the harder Satan attacks. I am having trouble with my eyes again. I will not entertain any thoughts that cause me to question the Lord.
Neither will I allow myself to be drawn away from Him by tiredness or the necessity of daily activities or emotions or anything. These are signs that I must go to Him immediately.
