God is my strength and power and He makes my way perfect. 2 Samuel 22:33
Long ago I came to the total assurance that God loves me, God knows
where I am every second of every day, and God is bigger than any problems
life's circumstances can throw at me. I have complete confidence that God is
able to take care of any situation and provide and answer to any questions or
problem- He has all the resources of the universe to draw upon in helping each
one of us through any type of crisis if we will trust in Him.
He delights in showing me again and again that He is the source of my strength
and my provision, my protection, and my ultimate success in life. I have absolutely
no doubt that God is in control of every second of my future. Let me ask you today:
Who's in control of your life ?

Thought for the Day
Good morning!
For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those
who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions
from us.
As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion
on those who fear him; for he knows how we are formed, he remembers we are dust.
As for man, his days are like grass, he flourishes like a flower
in the field; the wind blows over it and is gone, and its place
remember it no more.
But from everlasting to everlasting the Lord's love is with those who
fear him. and his righteousness with their children's children-with those
who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts.
Psalm 103:11-18

Thought for the Day
Morning everyone! Thanks so much for all your thoughts and prayer for my Uncle Gary and for Connor. Here is an update on Connor from Lexie..
Hey there, I hope your week is going well. A few of y'all have asked after Connor, so here is an update. He is feeling pretty good, he is finally up and around. They checked his new plumbing (esophagus reconstruction) and there were no leaks! Awesome! Over all his healing is going very well. Praise the Lord! He and Joy are coming home tomorrow (Thursday) and they are sooo ready. We are too!
Today, the surgeon came with the pathology results on Connor's tumor. Turns out he didn't get it all. This is because the new tumor was growing from the old one and it seems they sort of grew together and became one big mass. So the part of the tumor left in him that cannot be removed (it is too close to his pancreas) still has the new cancer. He is going to start chemo very soon. Chemo usually just slows down the progress of cancer... This new cancer is so fast growing that the doctors said he would have not survived another week without the surgery. Joy along with the doctors are exploring other options for Connor. Please pray that there are other options. The thought of putting more chemo in Connor's already weakened body is scary. Really, things are just kinda scary right now... Again and always, thank you all for caring so much about my family.
O Lord, how many are my foes! How many rise up against me! Many are saying of me, "God will not deliver him." But you are a shield around me, O Lord; you bestow glory on me and lift up my head. To the Lord I cry aloud, and he answers me from his holy hill. I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustains me. I will not fear the tens of thousands drawn up against me on every side. Arise, O Lord! Deliver me, O my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked. From the Lord comes deliverance. May your blessing be on your people. Psalm 3:3-8

Pray for Connor
Hey guys.. here is the update on Connor from his cousin... PLEASE PRAY!!!!!!!!
We have the biopsy report back on the mass in Connor's abdomen. COnnor has a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor. It s a form of cancer of the connective tissue surrounding nerves. It can be caused by radiation.
In Connor s case, it s grown to 5-7 cm (2 to 2-3/4 inches) since August, and it s fast growing. It s bigger than they first thought. Surgery is the only way to cure it, and if they don t get it all, it s over. They ll probably have to remove part of his stomach to insure they ve gotten it all. The surgery will be 10-12 hours beginning early Wednesday morning. We need heavy-duty prayer.
A surgeon with steady hands guided by God.
Peace tonight for Tait, Joy and Connor as they await tomorrow. Strength to get through the long day of waiting tomorrow. And a positive report after the surgery that they got it all. We need miracle.
My mom and I are heading up to Houston tonight to wait with them. Please everyone, if you could, throughout tomorrow, pray pray pray for little Connor. Wear your camo bracelet if you need a reminder! Write it on your mirror or hand or a sticky note, but please remember Connor tomorrow and pray for that miracle. Thank you all so much.
with hope, lexie

Thought for the Day
Good morning all !
As 09 is in full swing, I hope that you all
are staying focused in 09 and holding on to the one true thing
we have in this world and that is our faith in Jesus!
For me, I have been putting my faith and hope lately in things that disappoint,
things that fail, things that just plain let me down... But I am
so thankful that I can hold tight to the Love of the Lord...if
there's one thing I can be sure.. it's that the love of the Lord
Endures!!
This song was sang at a dear friends wedding and I about fell
out of my pew it was so beautiful.. the Lord used it to speak to my heart in a major
way.. I encourage you to read the Lyrics and if possible..
listen to the song by Joy Williams.. it is definitely the song my
soul is singing these days! I hope it blesses you like
it is blessing me!!
Lyrics to The Love Of The Lord Endures :
In all that I have found
Your evidence abounds
I’ve always sensed Your fingerprints
If I just look around
And yet this grand display
Will all soon pass away
So I hold on to the mighty truth
That Your love is here to stay
CHORUS
The love of the Lord endures
The love of the Lord endures
If there’s one thing I can be sure
It’s that the love of the Lord endures
Life has let me down
In wealth, joy can’t be found
I’ve searched for peace in all of these
But I have always found
CHORUS
When I stumble
When I fall
When I’m walking ten feet tall
Your love is there day after day
Even at the worst extreme
Or after I have been redeemed
Your love is there
And it won’t let me go
CHORUS
