One thing I've learned
through all the ups and downs is that if you're doing things right, then you
have a core group of people. Not just a core group like your homies or your
buddies, but a group of people that has a good influence on you, who you
respect and admire, and you know that if they're on your side, you're doing
something right. By Hope Solo
Text for the day: “And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that
having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every
good work.” 2 Corinthians 9:8
Our Devotional
"PRAISE THE LORD!!!" I made it back to Boston safely. It is about four o'clock in the morning and we are into a few hours of a
blizzard condition. Thank God that He put it in my mind to re-book my
flight around 1:45 am Monday morning for a 12:09 flight from Bermuda. Note I
was due to travel on Tuesday at the same time. According to an update on
Sunday, it said that my flight has been change on Tuesday, but I would be able
to travel at a later time on the same day. But note the airport closed all its
doors at 7:00 pm Monday night, which means there will be no air-traffic today
Tuesday into Wednesday. It is clear to me that the Lord wanted me to be
here before this blizzard came to help Kevina as the doctor had asked.
Kevina was so happy to see me that she didn't
know what to do. She is such a beautiful person. Needless to say about Karon
and Karis, they are over joyed. As I looked at Kevina, all I can see is the
power of God. What a sweet spirit through all of the things she has gone
through. I am seeking your prayers over the next few days that we may see a
strong improvement in Kevina’s health with a reduction of medications.
At this time in the morning, everyone is sleeping
as I am up with the Lord in prayer and study. Outside the snowfall rate
looks around 2 to 4 inches an hour. Pray that all the people will be safe
and follow the orders of the law about this blizzard. They are expecting this
blizzard condition to linger into Wednesday; the worst of the storm will
be into Tuesday afternoon. They are expecting heavy snow and strong winds
will result in White-out/blizzard conditions with near zero visibility. With
this in mind, everyone is asked to stay in their homes. Travel will be
impossible and life threatening across the entire region. They have put into effect
a no travel law on the streets and highways as of 12:00 am and if anyone is on
the roads they will be brought before the courts.
They are expecting worst condition this
afternoon. Pray for the people of the east-cost of America. Through it all, I
gather strength from the words of Edward Young, “Affliction is a good man's
shining time.” Our work here is soon to close, and every man will receive his
reward according to his own labor. As of this day, Kevina has endured so much
in her hard times with different sicknesses over the past 12 years, but this is
the worst. We as a family have stood by her and weathered the storms with her
and soon will say as Jesus comes, “heaven is cheap enough.”
The coming of Christ is near and hasteth greatly.
This is the time to do our best for the Master in laboring to help somebody
that is ready to perish. Today we need the converting power of God to take hold
of us, that we may understand the needs of a perishing world. The time in which
we live calls for all to trim their lamps, and let the light of truth shine
froth to all we meet. Today there is a spirit of harshness that is governing
men. But let us pray for the presence of the Holy Spirit, that our hearts may
be softened and that we may not bring a harsh spirit into our work from this
day forward. It is time to stop doing the devils work, and let us act like the
children of God who are looking to Him for counsel, ready to work out His plans
wherever presented. Remember the words of our Lord, “Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man
according as his work shall be.” Rev. 22:12.
