What a blessing to see your faith in Christ! How good it is to be reminded that He controls our destiny. There’s no tunnel that is so deep & dark that He is not there with us sustaining & guiding us. May He continue to uphold you, dear sister-in-law!

Dear Angie,
You write so powerfully, so beautifully~ I’ve thought that MANY times, and said it to you as well… Each time I read your thoughts, full of dreadful fear deep within your being and feelings of blessing as well…I am encouraged by them and I also think ~ “she’s having a good day today if she’s able to put her feelings into words and on this wonderful site for us to know”. At that point, I thank God for giving you a “good day~” Loving you from across the United States =) Jan Kok p.s. Your little Audrey looks so troubled over her bright blue cast (great picture you captured for us to see)…hopefully she’s getting along in spite of it all.

Dear Sweet Friend,

There are not words to adequately thank you for your ministry to so many as you cling to Jesus and endure through overwhelmingly painful trials. The Lord is using His gift to you to remind us that “BLESSED is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.” ( James 1:12)

I love you…

Thanks for being so real about what’s going on with you and your family right now. It encourages me to step out remembering that Christ is our power. I love that song, “In Christ Alone” … whenever we sing it at church I feel victorious in Christ, I pray this day that you feel victorious in Christ sweet Angie.

Dear Angie,

Thank you for this. During my recent 7 month pregnancy tunnel, which included 3 months of hospitalization and unbearable physical pain, I was taught how perfect Christ’s strength is made through our weakness. I also found that some of those who were there cheering me at the beginning grew weary. They could not handle the changes in me physically and mentally from the chronic pain and narcotics. My mother-in-law, who is a hospice nurse, reminded me that people who love you and care for you will eventually have to go back to their lives. She reminded me the phone calls would slow down, the visits would wane and what consumed me moment by moment would only be a thought or a prayer in other’s days.

I wish I could call you every time I think of you and pray for you. God has placed you on my heart in a way I cannot explain. I know how lonely it can be. I know the peaks and valleys of faith and doubt. God is faithful. He is being glorified through you even now. I love you. Monica Kaye

Dear Angie,
The Lord is using you to open up hearts.

We pray for you, as does the church here at Grace Reformed in Mebane:

“When I am afraid,
I will trust in You.” Psalm 56.3

For His greater glory,
Stephen & Lori

Hi!
I am coming over from Lysa’s!
This is absolutely beautiful! And so encouraging. I know when I am facing trials, I will remember that the train is still moving…that I need to just hang on and trust the Engineer!
Thank you for sharing this!
Blessings,
K

You have a way of words, and you are using this gift to pull us closer to the Father. Thank you, for someone riding through the dark right now, waiting for the Light.
