Prescriptions

Yesterday at church while Aaron was preaching, Sharon, one of the ladies that attends Brookside asked me if I could write down the prescriptions. I was confused - thinking she wanted me to write something for her. And thought it was strange timing, during the sermon to ask me to write a prescription for her. She went on to say, while pointing at my notes from the sermon - you know the Prescriptions, my writing is not good and I do not want to miss any. Finally understanding, I said Oh the Scripture - she replies, yes the prescriptions.

Not until I was sharing the story with my mom, did it dawn on me - Sharon has it correct - the Bible contains all the prescriptions we need.

my weekend prescription:
Therefore I tell you whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. Mark 11:24

Throughout Mark, Jesus is provided opportunity after opportunity to show the greatness of God. How loving, kind and generous God is to those who believe. Jesus spends most of the chapter teaching his disciples ... we are all his disciples. Jesus teaches his disciples what it "takes" to heal people - POWERFUL!
I am anxious to re-visit Mark, to see what I have completely missed. But I am thankful for the prescriptions that I have acquired so far ...

GRACE AND PEACE

Responding to a Whisper

Aaron & I are excited to announce that our family has expanded! We have been blessed to adopt a baby. (From the Indianapolis Area) The Lord moved QUICK, we brought our son home from the hospital April 1, 2011. And the fund-raising continues! It is our desire to help support others planning to adopt and various missions.

To use my passion to create,we continue to sell a special Double Blessing Bracelet, 2 for 15$. Each bracelet will be made using loose beads from BeadforLife, which supports women in Uganda.

We will be selling these online, word of mouth, and local shops. We have added a BUY NOW button so you can purchase from this site.

Also, we have added a button to collect donations, if you feel called in that manor. Please click the DONATE button. Or send an email and we can provide an address to mail a check.

Finally, please pray!

TRI-BE

TRI BE
Battle. Breathe. Believe.

Across the globe, there's a forgotten and lost tribe of people. They're the children and families of children who have Trisomy 13 and 18. Their children have been given a death sentence. This tribe is hurt and mostly alone, waking up to face death and the fear of death.

For those in this tribe, they learn not to live in the past or the future, but in the now. They learn how to be. They must be. Their motto can be summed up in 3 "B" words: (tri be). Battle. Breathe. Believe

Battle - against pain, fear, death, against the very cells in a body. Against anger. Against ignorance.

Breathe - trisomy babies are supposed to forget how to breathe and die. As a parent, yo never take a breath for granted. And as a parent, you learn to just breathe. You keep thinking you can do something - you can't. I fact, you can do nothing. So, as Robbie Seay the singer says : breathe out and breathe again / know that life is hard, but it's worth breathing.

Believe - is all we can do and the best we can do. Believe that life is precious. Believe that today is a gift. Believe that there is eternal life for the redeemed. Believe that I have a Savior friend who will see me through this. Believe that there is strength in Him.
