Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. Proverbs 3:5

Lord today help us to lean wholly on thee, and to trust only you. We are your children and you know our needs Lord today help us to trust your choices for us, as your guiding hand lead us through our day. Lord thank you for the beautiful blanket of fresh snow you have draped our town with, Lord keep those we traveling safe on the roads. Lord those who suffer give relief, those that mourn peace, and those with change, to help except and find the answers. Be with us, hear our prayers in your name we pray.

You guys are amazing.

As for Brandon, he is breathing on his own. They leave in the trach just blowing "free" air, but Brandon is doing the work. This IS good news! : )

Thank you dear lady this is indeed good news. I know you don't know me but I did the same thing to my mom playing with ultralight aircraft. I have an enormous debt of gratitude and prayer relief to never, ever be able to pay back. Accept my humble attempts and know you and yours are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you Mom !!

Robyn, sending gratitude for giving us this great news, that Brandon is doing the work, now breathing on his own. We sing praises and continue to lift him up in God's light and love.

Also, you are a kind, compassionate mom to be in tune with your daughter, Kris's needs, may you find comfort and strength together.

JoJo, dot, scott, and others, prayers work wonders, we can't post as much as we'd like, times are busy, but we do truly appreciate your steadfast prayers.

Blessings to you all in this time of thanks, need, and hope.

Dotcom, JoJo, Scott, Southerbl--you all bring tears to my eyes and joy to my heart. I thank God for each of you!

As an addendum, Kris and I had a wonderful talk last night. She referenced one particularly bad moment between us and honestly explained it was a moment she just needed her mom. I am struggling to finish up another semester of grad school (hasn't been a particularly good year...but things will and have changed! : ) and I was a bit stuck in my own world. I told her to clue me in, My issues are nothing compared to hers, and I simply told her to say to me, "Mom, stop being a student and be my Mom for a minute." That will get my head in the right place. : )

I will say that your prayers are surely effective! : ) Thank you, again.

Scott--tell me about the ultralight--you can PM if you'd like.

Hugz to all, and to God be the glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Dear lonely cross bearer, suffice it to say I ran out of air speed and altitude and was unable to complete the proper pitch maneuver to clear the ground and save a stalled take off. Not only did I win a very expensive ride in a helicopter to a 3 month stay in a Hospital, complete with 24 hr. bed pan service but the farmers field, that I went face first in, did not need a post hole smack dab in the middle. That was 26 years and 11 months ago to the day. All the events since have led up to you reading God’s comfort as he inspired me to write his words on this page. Now I pray The Nunc Dimittis;

Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace according to thy word, for mine eyes have seen thy salvation which thou has prepared before the face of all people, a light to lighten the Gentiles and the Glory of thy people Israel. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen

He may not let me leave yet. The harvest is plenteous but the workers are few. I can not change a human heart but I am not asked to. Only God’s Spirit can touch and convert a lost soul. I’m just supposed to present the Holy Spirit an opportunity to do so. I have never been successful in arguing with God. His will, will be accomplished. With my help or not. Power and patience, we pray, be yours for the duration of these your trials, dear Robyn.

In Jesus name, Amen!!

Wow, Scott. The fact that you lived to tell about this is amazing. And yes, we do what we are called to do:

I planted, Apollos watered, but God provided the growth.

1 Corinthians 3: 6

Thank you Warriors for the love and support--I feel it, homies.
