Celebrating Melinda's Wondrous Healing!

Today is one month from the day that my daughter was in a very bad car accident, rolling over several times in her Nissan Altima. She had gotten a promotion and raise, transferred to Lubbock with the retail store she was working in. She'd only been there a month 1/2. She'd broken her cell phone the day before and called me and told me she was coming, for me not to tell anybody as she wanted to surprise everybody. She called her one sister, Jackie, in the morning 7:30 am MST, 8:30 am her time and said she was heading out. I prayed for her all day as I knew she'd be traveling alone. I asked her to please make sure she took the time to stop and rest and not to try to make the whole trip without resting. At 12:00 pm our time, Jackie, called me and told me she was really worried for her sister and I tried to remain calm and told her, it's lunch time, maybe she stopped to get a bite to eat. Just Pray, Jackie and don't worry. I kept praying and asking God to Keep His Hand upon her and bring her home safely. Little did we know that at that very moment, Melinda had fallen asleep at the wheel and rolled over several times in her car.
We got a phone call at 4:00 pm from the doctor at the hospital in Santa Rosa. They'd called my daughter, Jackie who called me on my cell as the doctor would not give her any info till he got me on the line. I heard him say that my daughter, Melinda had been in a very bad roll over and he feared she might be bleeding internally in her brain and that he was going to have her flown to UNM Hospital and that my daughter should be at UNM Hospital in 45 minutes. I called my husband who was already in Albuquerque to get over to the hospital. All 3 of my daughters headed over to the hospital in their cars and my son drove with me in my car. I called my Pastor and as many friends as I could in 3 minutes to start praying for my daughter. When we got to the hospital, we could not locate my daughter. They ER told me that they didn't have my daughter and finally a nurse told us to go to ICU Trauma on 2nd floor. When we got up there, the docs said they were evaluating Melinda and that she was in a coma but that she was not bleeding internally and that it would just be a matter of time. That was Wednesday, by Monday, she had woken up and by Sunday, she was walking. The doctors were amazed! All I can say is, 'God is Faithful and soo Good!'
It has been quite an experience and as I have seen the miraculous healing of my daughter, I am in awe of God's Mercy & Lovingkindness!
I, even I, am the LORD, and apart from Me, There is no savior. I have revealed and saved and proclaimed— I, and not some foreign god among you. You are my witnesses,” declares the LORD, “that I am God.” Isaiah 43:11-12

Move by Mercy Me

I'm not about to give up
Because I heard you say
There's gonna be brighter days
There's gonna be brighter days
I wont stop, I'll keep my head up
No, I'm not here to stay
There's gonna be brighter days
There's gonna be brighter days

I just might bend but I won't break
As long as I can see your face

[Chorus]
When life won't play along
And right keeps going wrong
And I can't seem to find my way
I know where I am found
So I won't let it drag me down
Oh, I'll keep dancing anyway

Light Up the Sky To Show Me You Are With Me!

“The earth, O LORD, is full of Your Mercy; Teach me Your statutes.” Psalm 119:64

When I'm feeling all alone
With so far to go
The signs are no where on this road
Guiding me home
When the night is closing in
Is falling on my skin
Oh God will You come close?

(Chorus)
Light light light up the sky
You light up the sky
To show me You are with me
I I I can't deny
No I can't deny that You are right here with me
You've opened my eyes
So I can see You all around me
Light light light up the sky
You light up the sky to show me
That You are with me

When stars are hiding in the clouds
I don't feel them shining
When I can't see You beyond my doubt
The silver lining
When I've almost reached the end
Like a flood You're rushing in
Your love is rushing in

(Chorus)

So I run straight into Your arms
You're the bright and morning sun
To show Your love there's nothing You won't do

(Chorus)

That You are with me http://youtu.be/8LQH6UDi15s

Photos & Stories of Hope in the Aftermath of Irene

Check out These Stories of Hope in the Storm!
How has God shown up in your storm? God is Faithful to Show Up for me time and again, which reminds me of this Scripture:
Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches.  
Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.
Galatians 6:6-10

Alleluia, Revive Us Again

When hardship comes to prey on hopes
And troubles seem to linger on
When death rolls on taking ones we love
You are the hope that keeps us on

(Chorus)
Alleluia, Thine the glory
Alleluia, Amen
Alleluia, Thine the glory
Revive us again

When all this seems the battles lost
And such disease is spreading on
When life grows dark and our lips are parched
You are the hope that we sing of

Chorus
When death is past and sins are gone
Alas forgiveness here is won
Daughters and sons we will stand as one
We're safe at last in the Father's love
We're safe at last in the Father's love

Alleluia (X4)

To Everything There is a Season

To everything there is a season,
     A time for every purpose under heaven: 
    A time to be born,
And a time to die;
A time to plant,
And a time to pluck what is planted; 
       A time to kill,
And a time to heal;
A time to break down,
And a time to build up; 
        A time to weep,
And a time to laugh;
A time to mourn,
And a time to dance; 
       A time to cast away stones,
And a time to gather stones;
A time to embrace,
And a time to refrain from embracing; 
       A time to gain,
And a time to lose;
A time to keep,
And a time to throw away; 
        A time to tear,
And a time to sew;
A time to keep silence,
And a time to speak; 
       A time to love,
And a time to hate;
A time of war,
And a time of peace.
 What profit has the worker from that in which he labors? I have seen the God-given task with which the sons of men are to be occupied. He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.
