Life is hard. Kindness, courage, and love will help you prosper.
Philippians 4:6-7 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

This week’s devo is “Touching the Hem” written by Gail Moore!
Please take the time to read as she shares her heart with us! I hope you have an awesome day!
Touching the Hem – Gail Moore
Is Life Becoming Unraveled? Is it too perplexed? Do you have issues that you can’t deal with; questions that you don’t know the answers to. The solution is within reach! Look at this wonderful passage of Scripture. It is one of my favorites!
Matthew 9:20 -26 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment: 21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole. 22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.
What a wonderful account of faith and
dedication here in this passage. This could be so applicable to we as women today. Think about it. It appears that this woman is hurrying along with a crowd of people who were also trying to see this One called Jesus. It spoke of the multitudes and of a whole city coming out to see Him just a few verses earlier.
Aren’t so many seemingly caught up in the “rat race” of life? They are lost among the crowds and constantly going to and fro looking for peace.
So many are blindly looking, searching, grasping for something that they can hold onto to have a sense of security, happiness, and well being.
We can learn so much from this humble woman. She was looking at the perfect Source. She knew she needed help and she knew it was not within herself to help herself. She knew she could not “pull herself up by her boot straps”. Furthermore, she knew no one else around her could help her except Jesus. She believed He had the power to heal her.
She had faith that if she could but just touch the hem of His garment she would be healed. This sounds very close to the ” grain of mustard seed ” illustration that Jesus used, doesn’t it?
She, by faith, reached out and simply touched the hem of His garment.
The wonderful thing is, Jesus knew that she was desperate. He knew she was desiring to be healed by Him. He knew her dedication to following Him. He turned in the crowd of people and spoke directly to her. I love that part about this story! He summed it up by saying to her “thy faith hath made thee whole”.
She reached out and touched Him!
Have you reached out to touch Him today? Do you have some difficulty, some problem, some burden? Maybe it just seems that “life” is getting out of control or just passing you by and you feel like you are having to “keep up”? You can still reach out to Him, and by faith believe He can help, and He will! He cares! Touching the hem is touching Him, if it is by faith!
Oh how we need to touch or get in touch with Him every day! I know I do!
Matthew 14:36
And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.

Started storming while inside store. Not going out now. It’s thundering & lightning!!!! Trying to stay calm.
Door greeter asked me to please not go out while it’s lightning. Told her not to worry. I won’t bc I was struck by lightning two years ago. She gasped. Asked what happened. She replies I’m so glad you’re okay. I told her I’m alive. It’s left me with lasting side effects. She asked what. Told her nerve damage, brain injury, chronic pain among others but I’m doing my best to work thru it. She tapped me on arm and said, “Bless your heart.”

2:30p- went to Buccees to get deer corn and lunch. Too crowded and too many noises. Had to find a slower corner to calm the spirit.
Hunger started to kick in so headed towards food section. Head is swimming. Too many senses swirling around in head (noises, colors, sounds, scents, etc.).

11:20a- bp 96/68 hr 64. PT said she was okay with Bp but if it gets any lower she’d be concerned.
Three contributing factors to balance: vestibular, central (muscles and joints), sensory receptors (eyes). [Had to google when I got home because the only words I could remember her saying was vestibular and thre contributing factors].
Suggested neuro psychologist for the cognitive issues. (I know I need help in this area but one I don’t have funds right now and two I’m quite leary about trusting my cognitive issues to a secular psychologist. I know it would help with the cognitive reasoning as well as the anxiety. I’m going to pray that God will provide.)
PT did some testing to check progress. Overall I am improving even though it’s not where we wanted me to be but I am improving. PtL!
I asked her what the students thought of their testing & assessing me. She said that they all have said that was their favorite sessions because it was such an eye opener and helped them on so many levels especially with a lightning survivor.
She also asked me if it was okay to have a second therapist join our session next time to see what she thinks; and kind of get a second opinion on therapy and progress.
God is so good!

Muscle spams mid lft side. Read my Bible on my phone. Prayed for people that came to mind. Fell asleep praying.
7:00a- think I finally fell back to sleep sometime after 5:45 only to have nightmare about being stung by giant bees. The bites swole up like giant warts. The only thing that would kill them was some liquid in a 2 gallon pump sprayer. Later found out the liquid was windex. Ugh!
Oddly enough I woke with following song on my mind…
I will enter His gates with thanksgiving in my heart. I will enter His courts with praise I will say this is the day that the Lord has made I will rejoice for He has made me glad.
He has made me glad, He has made me glad. I will rejoice for he has made me glad. He has made me glad, He has made me glad I will rejoice for he has made me glad.
Think it’s based off Psalm 100:4

6:00p- Dezirae’s team won match. 3-0. On way home, I yawned and my jaw and neck cramped bad. Had trouble shutting mouth. Extreme pain in jaw and rt ear. Took quite a while for it to subside.
9:12p- I’m so exhausted! Jordon suggested I take the pill that helps me sleep so I can get some much needed rest. He thought it was Tylenol.

Dictionary says spirit, courage, determination. Example sentence is “had the spunk to overcome a
severe physical disability.” Anyone notice the sentence is laking a subject?
I think that describes me. Cool. I may not look disabled, but I sure do feel it some days while most others I feel excessively challenged. I’ve always having to rethink how I can accomplish things without extra effort because some physical effort causes great pain especially if it involves me arms.

Happy MONDAY!!! Just a reminder that Jesus loves YOU!
This week’s devotion is “I Think I’ll Just Praise Him Anyways” written by Amy Brown! Please take the time to read as she shares her heart with us!
I Think I’ll Just Praise Him Anyways – Amy Brown
I would like to start off by saying that we serve an AMAZING God! The Lord has brought me through so many storms and valleys throughout my life that it would literally take a book for me to be able to share it all! But this is what the Lord impressed upon my heart to share with you ladies, and my prayer is that you will be refreshed and encouraged, knowing that we serve a God who “is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above ALL that we ask or think!”
Last year, our family went through one of the hardest trials that we’ve ever had to face together as a family. My dad had been in the hospital with some major complications from an everyday procedure he had gotten done weeks prior, and he had to have emergency surgery to have his colon reconstructed. That, in itself- was very scary and very serious, but little did we know in the days following, the storm we would be facing. His emergency surgery had been that Saturday, but by Wednesday, instead of him getting better, he was getting much worse. During this timeframe, our church had a huge outbreak of Covid, and my mom finally convinced the doctor to test my dad for Covid. He came back positive, and on top of that, he had double pneumonia along with blood clots. At this point, the hospital sent my mom home, and she was no longer able to go and see him, and she had to be quarantined for the next 14 days. We weren’t about to let my mom be alone for all those days, and my 14-year-old daughter volunteered to go and stay with her. The entire time, I felt God had given me peace that my dad was going to be ok, but it wasn’t very long when things began to get much more serious. I’ll never forget this day…on July 4th, I got a call from the doctor at the hospital. I was numb as I was listening to what the doctor was telling me- they had done everything they could for my dad, but he wasn’t going to make it through the night, and they were calling the family in for us to say our goodbyes to him. Long story short, my mom, my husband and I went to the hospital to sit outside the glass room in the CCU where my dad lay. The nurse spoke to us saying how sorry she was, but they had done everything they could. I remember looking up at her and saying to her, “He’s not gone yet, so we’re gonna keep praying!” She replied, “You don’t understand. Your dad is the sickest man in this hospital, and I don’t want to give you a false hope.” I responded back to her, “You may not know my God, but we serve an amazing God, and we know that God can heal him, and as long as there’s breath in him, we’re gonna keep praying!” Come to find out later, this nurse that cared for him that night had been at this hospital the longest and was considered the best nurse there- NOT a coincidence!!! We were there the entire night and watched God perform miracle after miracle. They sent us home the next morning around 6am. And guess what?! My dad had made it through that long night! The next phone call I received from the doctor was promising. He told me that my dad was a fighter, and since he made it through the night, he wanted to give him a fighting chance. They had called Duke University (which happens to be one of the top hospitals) and were going to transfer him there for my dad to get the best care possible! When they called Duke, there was only ONE BED available in the CCU- again, NOT a coincidence! It was a breath of fresh air, and it brought so much peace to our hearts, and somehow, we knew that God was going to heal him. I don’t have the time to share everything. Each day brought its own challenges. Some were a step forward, and other days it seemed he would take two steps backward. But through it all, God was so faithful to us, and gave us the strength to make it through each challenge we faced. After 68 days of being in the hospital, we were able to bring my dad home!!! What a day of rejoicing, and what an AMAZING God we serve!!!
I’d like to share one last thought which will explain the title for this devotional. My teenage daughter, Brianna, writes and composes gospel music. She started at the age of 13 and is now 15 years old. She has written of total of 35 songs now, and we’re so thrilled with how God is using her life! My mom is a great woman of faith and a true prayer warrior. When Brianna went to stay with her during her quarantine days, they had a conversation together. She looked at Brianna and said to her, “Well, so far, God has protected my husband and brought him this far, and He’s also protected me from getting Covid, so I think I’ll just praise Him anyways!”
The hardest thing to do is to praise Him in our storms and valleys, but God INHABITS the PRAISE of His people. When we begin to praise Him, we have complete AUDIENCE with Him. It’s kinda like when we overhear someone talking good about us…we enjoy hearing good things said about us, and we listen intently to what they’re saying, right? It’s the SAME way with the Lord. God DELIGHTS in praise, and when we thank Him and praise Him, He begins to listen intently to what we’re asking of Him. So, I challenge you ladies who may be in the midst of a storm right now, to start praising Him and thanking Him for everything you can think of, and God will begin giving you peace and strength! If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it! And I promise you’ll come out on the other side with a greater faith and compassion for others!!!
Through the words my mom said to my daughter that day, Brianna wrote this song below entitled, “I Will Sing His Praise Anyways.” God has used my dad’s testimony as well as this song to help encourage many, and my prayer is that God will get ALL the HONOR, GLORY and PRAISE for ALL HE’S DONE!!! HE IS WORTHY!!!
Philippians 4:6-7“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with THANKSGIVING let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
