I first want to thank all of you, my beloved, for your thoughts and prayers, they are working. I am coming out the other side of what has been a strange journey. I am not sure what the cause was but it has knocked me down pretty good. Still trying to figure out what kind of damage was done because of the sickness. No one else in the home has been affected, so praise God for that. My daughter Tiasia and my son-in-law DJ have taken good care of me and the children have been loving and caring. The sad part for me is that today Tyenna turns 9 and I missed out on the day’s activities of going to the zoo, a splash pad, and a picnic. Tyenna was disappointed but understanding. She can see that I need to rest. Over the years I have learned to pray as fervently in the good times as I do in the bad because of certain Bible verses like what is written in *1 John 5:14 This is the [remarkable degree of] confidence which we [as believers are entitled to] have before Him: that if we ask anything according to His will, [that is, consistent with His plan and purpose] He hears us.* My prayer is to be in God’s will however He sees fit. I have experienced God in times of ease and that has been a great blessing, but there has never been a time when I have not seen God work when I have prayed in my times of adversity, and to me that has always been a greater blessing. Lately adversity has become commonplace in my life. The day before this happened I shared a meme that said, “Enough Already” and then more came my way. All of a sudden a lot more came my way. Please continue to pray for me as I walk by faith, trusting in, relying on, and clinging to my Lord and Savior, in Jesus’ precious and powerful name, Amen.
