My how time passes! It has been a while since I've been able to update the journal. The past few weeks have been rather busy and full of God's mercy and grace! Our services have been filled with the Glory and Spirit of God. We have so many on our prayer list that are fighting battles. We have to remember that we are all soldiers for Christ! This past week I lost a dear friend and mentor to a month long battle with pancreatic cancer. Mrs. Pattie Garrett Clark was not only one of the best nursing instructors, but she was also a dear friend. It's always difficult to say that someone "lost" a battle with cancer or some other disease. In fact, they've not really lost at all, they've truly WON! She won her heavenly healing! She has a healing that no mortal mind can comprehend. The week has been filled with many trials and battles. Many fiery darts that satan has shot our way, but, Praise God! We are prayed up and we are circling the wagons and we have on the Full Armor of God and we are prepared to do the battle that we've been called to do! I glorify and praise God for the wonderful saints of God that He's placed in my life!

Please join us this Sunday at 6 PM as our special guest, Ray Vester, ministers to us in song and word! I look forward to seeing you all soon! May God continue to keep His loving arms of comfort and protection around you!
