LIFE IS GOOD!

Its hard to believe that 6 weeks ago, Frank had the stroke, and the progress he has made since then. He has defeated the odds and has gone against what they told him he can't do by following his faith. Although he is strong willed and stubborn, it is MORE than that.
He has decided to walk on the water with JESUS leading the way!
I admit I have nagged him very much about doing too much in my concern for him.
But I woke up today with the revelation that hit me in my spirit, that Frank let Jesus lead him to walk in faith step by step, doing more and more in the physical daily, and HE HAS WALKED ON THE WATER!
This isn't something to try to do without the unction and leading of God. But when Jesus leads and prompts us in our spirit, we can accomplish miraculous things.
And you have to strike when the iron is hot, or in other words, when your faith is ignited.
In Frank's case, given the situation of stroke and the age factor, he knew he had to go forward in full force tackling these feats of walking, talking, swallowing, eating, and enduring against the physical problems, if he was to have full recovery.
To God be the glory!
Today also is 3 weeks since our miraculous survival of a front end collision.
I still can't believe it when I go thru the scenario of that incident in my mind.
How frightening an experience it was!

But it was also an experience that demonstrated to me how God is so very much in the midst even when we don't always feel like it.
He showed me how in control He truly is and that He is taking care of us. I felt so alone and uncertain during all of this ordeal with Frank and then this accident happened.
But thru all of it, I learned in a much deeper way that God is my peace and my provider, and that His Presence in the midst of turmoil, gave me an even greater revelation of my dependence on Him.

I am so thankful of God's divine protection and healing of all of us!
I believe he dispatched angels and kept us from great harm or death.

I am so thankful that Bethy and Kimmy survived injuries and are healing. I'm thankful God kept me from serious head injury and cushioned my head, in spite of how hard I felt the impact literally HIT against my skull.

Speaking also of walking on the water, Kimmy is another example of that.
I truly believe God accelerated her healing and allowed her to be on the mend each day by her faith and determination.
I also believe she WALKED ON WATER for as badly disabled she was in her mobility.
Although she may have gone for medical help, it seems to me that God led her in this way and he has performed great healing, and I believe COMPLETE healing and recovery for her.
I just know it!


Matthew 14:22-33
And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.
But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.
And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.
And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.

THE TIDE IS TURNING!
