Hello to all
I come to you tonight knowing that as my mom leaves on Thursday my time will be much more limited to communicating with so many of you. I feel such a need to reach out and ask for your help in a very important area. My last email to you probably did not go without you noticing the stress in my heart right now. I am trying to grab on to His strength every moment. Last week I read something that is so simple but, yet, so hard for us do grasp sometimes. I read, " Isn't it amazing that we can call upon the creator of the universe and everything in it
at anytime. He is with us immediately." How awesome is that?! But yet in my tired and weary body I tend to forget about this simple truth and how easy it is to just do this and get the strength I need. This is where you all come in.....
So many of you have expressed to me that you would love to be closer, or have more time, or etc...just so you could help me and my family. Well, I know how you can help. Of course I still need you to be my strong prayer warriors. I
never take for granted how you have all played an intricate part in God's plan for my healing. But now as I go into another part of this journey, I am already afraid of how tired I will become, how sore I will be from all the pain, how
weary I will be from not having too much time to nurture my own soul, and how tired I will be from lack of sleep..........so the challenge I put before you is this....
feed me...feed my soul...help grow me. How can you do this for me? Simple...send me scriptures that God lays on your heart to share with me, tell me of what you learned in church, share the lyrics to a song that has touched
you lately, etc. Do you get where I am going with this?:) I so enjoy the uplifting emails that you all already send my way. I just want to make sure you know how much they mean and that I believe they will be a huge part in my
spirits being held up during these next few months.
A few months ago I reached out to just a chosen few to pray for me and my family. I come to you again with all this tonight. As I put each of you into this email, it just brought tears of joy to know that I have so many along side
of me helping to fight the spiritual battle that has accompanied the physical one. You are all so important to this journey. It is by no mistake that we are connected. Please be encouraged.
As I said, my time is about to get much more limited. But I so love hearing your encouragement....AND for you to let me know what is going on in your lives as well. I would love to be praying for you and the needs that you have.
My spirits are low right now...but, I still am so blessed that God has done so much. The creator of the universe saw fit to rescue me from disease....He saw fit to rescue my children too. What has He done for you lately? I would love to
know.
Thank you all for being a part of my story, of my life. You mean so much.
Shannon
