Psalm 30:5. Weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.

Psalm 118:24 says; “Today is the day the LORD has made. Rejoice and be glad in it.” 

Good morning!

  Yesterday was rough, today is a new day. The Lord's tender mercies are renewed, He has filled me up, reframed my focus and I am rejoicing in today and all The Lord has for me, you, Steve and the entire ICU floor!

  Steve remained stable, his blood pressure strong, he is opening his eyes but not following commands. He is ready for another blood cleansing this morning! I fully expect that as his blood is cleansed, the sedative effect of all the toxins will leave and he will be able to break through the covid fog.  I am focused on getting that phone to his ear as often as possible for him to hear our voices as well as the voicemails left for him to encourage him and remind him of all the people who are on their knees for him and us. 

 I am so thankful that The Lord is my strength when I am so weak and overcome. He is so good to bring encouragement and love through you, the hands and feet of Jesus and always at just the right moment. I am so humbled by the way He provides for our every need Himself and through you.  I am praying that the step back in responsiveness and kidney distress will result in a big step forward because an issue revealed has been addressed. 

 This morning brings a clarity, a fresh breath of hope. As we look up during these times, we form a deeper relationship with The One who made us and ordained our path, we become forever changed and better, more reflective of Jesus.  

So in Jesus' name, I say: let a new hope and courage dawn in your heart right now.

Let the joy of the Lord come forth in your heart in Jesus' name. Let the fresh wind of the Holy Spirit blow a refreshing breeze across your body, soul, and spirit right now in Jesus' name. May we all Rise Up like Lazarus, our dry bones receive the breath and healing of The Lord, and Walk forth in His strength, peace, love, and especially joy. May we be keen to discern and quick to act as he guides us through the day. Stand, place all your burdens on Him, surrender your pictures and plans. His way is better. 

Prayers for Steve: Clean blood, BP remaining stable, clarity of mind, healing of "areas of concern" on right side of brain. Wake up Steve! 

Prayers for me: I'm learning how to do invoicing today so I can get the bills out to customers. Pray for clarity and ability to figure it out and get it done! 

Thank you all, you are all so precious to us and especially to your Abba Father.
