God has blessed me so much in so many ways, I find that if God is for me than who can be against me. God defends me, protects me and gives me joy on my journey now for 35 years.

As some of you may already know, just over two months ago God answered a prayer I prayed and opened a door for me to walk through,and to realize a dream come true. I prayed that if it was truly HIS will to lead me back to Lake Huron that I needed a door to open. The very next morning I logged into my email and that door opened so wide and so soon after my prayer that there was no way this could have come from anyone but God even though that old devil attempted to sneak in and try to convince me that it was NOT God's will but my own desires. I did not listen to him and here I am , back to my beloved Lake , where our Lord has been opening my eyes to His Will.

He has me quiet while I start this new life,observing and listening. God doe's not have to prove to me that He hears and answers prayer even when things look and seem impossible. I have witnessed His work in my life and watched as He removed many obstacles as if they were mere bowling pins in a bowling alley,one right after another.Though at times things looked a bit bleak in our human terms, I knew God would not forsake this child and leave me homeless for too long.Our God is a faithful and merciful God and in this past week He has shown me just how awesomely merciful He really is. I was not going to use names but I want the world to know about a man God placed in my path only two weeks ago. For even though I knew him only briefly, the message our meeting carried to us both would be very powerful. Ken was plaqued by MANY health problems.Prescription drugs helped some but I saw in his eyes and in his face so much pain that I could not imagine him surviving through this next winter. I do not know if he ever accepted Christ into his heart and his life as we only had a few ten minutes or so of conversations before I came upon him one night outside , looking up at the sky and praying to God to take him and release him from his pain. He did not know I was there and not wanting to interupt his prayer, I stood there and prayed for him as well.I prayed that if it was God's will for him to live then to please heal him completely and if it was not, to release him from his agony. Ken never know we prayed together that night but God heard him call out to Him. God heard a man who believed in Him and had faith enough to cry out to his Heavenly Father. I saw a man who believed and I watched God's tender mercy fall down upon him.

Yesterday afternoon (two days after that prayer)I had to call 911 for the first time in my life. They did not carry this man from his apartment yesterday, Jesus did that some time during the night. I am not sad, I saw how much pain this poor man was in and I am amazed once again how God hears and answers our prayers. I am amazed by His mercy.

One of Ken's final acts of kindness was moving out of his home and into a smaller one in order to give a homeless woman and her dog a place to live. But he now lives in a much more beautiful and bigger place. As Jesus said



JOHN 14;2

In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.



No , God does not have to prove to me or this precious soul who now rests in His loving hands today, that He hears our cries and answers our prayers. Our Father who loves us so very much is merciful.



Rest now dear Ken and know now that you are loved and you leave behind many who cared for you even if you did not know it. Your kindness to a homeless woman will not be forgotten by me and most importantly,not by our Loving Father either. Rest now, in the perfect peace of Jesus! AMEN

When I think of what God has done for me in my life, which is most of the time, I feel much fullness, bursting with joy and love for Him that I can never quite find the right words to say. There are no words to express it in its fullness and nothing I can do that can ever fully demonstrate. My frame is only little but the love and joy our Lord fills me with makes me feel that I should be living in a “spandex” body in xxxxxlarge!! He saved us from death and gave us life, renewing us day by day and refilling us with the love that this world took away. When I think of where I was and where He has brought me, how many times He has carried me, given me His strength to carry on through so many trials and hurts, it brings tears to my eyes as it is doing right now at this very moment. This devotional may seem “mushy” to some but it is the way God made me. The way He made me that went into hiding when this world did battle for my soul and hardened my heart. God has won this soul, I am HIS, but then He knew that all along!! Now my prayer is, like so many who are in love as I am in love with Jesus, is for even just one life, one lost soul to find the love that we have all found in Him. Something this wonderful should be shared and there is nothing more wonderful than our Almighty God. There is nothing so wonderful as this new song!!
