Hello,
I pray this good eNews finds you doing well. May is a beautiful month full of love, hope, joy, flowers and celebrations. Mother’s Day, school graduations and many weddings happen in May every year, as did mine and Greg’s 33 years ago this coming May 21st. The Lord is very good to allow us to receive everything He had for us to bring us both individually and as a couple into restoration with Him and healing in our marriage. I can honestly say, it has been worth it and I know the Lord will continue to use our testimony of forgiveness to encourage others in their healing journeys.
Two months before the release of my book, Good Grief I’m Healed, I had the privilege of being interviewed on an internet based radio station, CrossOver Radio. A friend of mine, Angela Brandt, is the host of the weekly show, Our Family Story. She mostly focusses on Christian women who share their stories of faith, redemption and celebrations of what God is doing in and through them. Recently, I was given access and permission to make the interview available to you as an audio upload through YouTube. I thought it was fitting to share it during this month of celebrating our anniversary.
In segment ONE, I tell the unusual way Greg and I met, our first date and how the Lord answered my direct prayers in the process. (That story begins at min 12:50, and if you click on the video, it will start at that story). Now, 33 years later, I see how He is still answering my prayers (and that of our parents of which we are very grateful).
As always…If you have a specific prayer request you’d like to me to pray, I’d be honored. Just reply to this email.
HEALED BY THE WORD: A Fresh Monthly Word
“HOW TO” Transform Relationships, Live Victoriously & Defeat Evil
Last week, while celebrating our anniversary in Destin, FL, I enjoyed the pleasure of all of my senses being filled up. One morning, as I felt the heat of the sun and heard the sound of the waves, I felt the heat of His presence and heard the sound of His voice during my time alone with Jesus in the Word. Yes, even on a couples vacation anniversary celebration, Greg and I took time to spend alone with the Lord, and we also spent time in the Word together. (Marriage tip #1: Christ is FIRST). Anyway…while I basked in Romans with my prayer journal at hand, I noticed a divine “how to list” that was worth recording. If you are anything like me, I LOVE to make lists, check off lists, and throw them away after I complete them. And sometimes, I add to the list after I did something I did not originally put on the list. Weird, I know, but just being real here. My new list, however, taken from the Word of God, helps to Transform MINDS which transforms understanding and trains hearts to live victorious LIVES. Victorious LIVES transforms relationships and causes love and good to flow in between. In love, we defeat evil with good! Want it in simpler terms? Get it here.
This “How To list” is one that as believers in Jesus Christ, we will never throw away because if we continue to follow it, we will be renewed, strengthened, will live above defeat and in return, will defeat the enemy that comes against us to kill our faith, steal our joy, and destroy our relationships. We can live victorious lives. Want to know how?
Click here to get the “HOW TO LIST” then screen shot it or print it off or internalize it. Join me and let’s check the list together, over and over and over again! Be blessed!
