Letter to Dad

Hey Dad,

I felt led by the LORD to write you a note because He gave me a Scripture for you. Well, first, He gave it to me in order to keep going through these times we are facing with the loss of your Mom and Dad and both of my grandparents. So I know how you feel in this time because I am hurting the same way you are. But just to let you know that the LORD is carrying me through while I am over here. Some days are harder than others, but the LORD is faithful and He is helping me and He will help you too if you just continue to put your faith and trust in Him. With Jesus you could make it because our lives are in His hands. He knows your hurt and your pain right now. So continue to go to Him in prayer and He will give you the grace and the strength to continue on. So keep on holding on to Him and He will make it alright! So lean on Jesus for He will never leave you nor forsake you. Keep on holding on to His promises and He will carry you through. I love you Dad and I wish I could be there with you guys at this time but I am over here at the LORD’S will. So keep holding on and keep on hanging to Jesus. Here is my Scripture verse to you.

Psalm 121:1-8
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth

He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand

The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.

The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

I hope and pray that this Psalm speaks and ministers to you. I love you and I miss you. Can’t wait until I see you guys. Just know that I am also praying for you and the family. Be encouraged and be blessed.

Love Always,
Angie

(I asked Angie if she would allow me to post this letter that she sent to her Dad. She said she would allow me to post it, if it meant that it would minister to someone. I believe it will.

Thanks for your prayers, Angie is doing better and continue on the work of the LORD.)

Mid-Terms

Mid-terms begin TODAY at Mt. Zion...

Pray...

Pray for Comfort

Angie's grandma, whom she loved dearly and in fact, is named after, has gone to heaven. In such a short time Angie has lost two much loved grandparents. I have not called and let Angie know, but I ask you to pray as I will have to call her to tell her. Angie has had such a hard go at this semester and now we add this. Also, next week begin mid-terms...yeah, lots to pray about.

I know God is with her and will give her all that she needs to get through this incredibly difficult time, however, I also know the power of prayer.

Thank you.

Update: I spoke with Angie. God is so good...He had been preparing her and comforting her already. Thank you for your prayers.

Pray

Please continue to pray for Angie. The second half of her first school year has been extremely difficult. She continues to be discouraged and down. She is pressing forward, but I can tell in her voice she is barely hanging on. In fact, there have been some students who have already left the school - this really disappointed her. If you think about it and feel so led, please send her a card of encouragement. She might not write back, but I know it would bring her great joy to receive a note from those she loves.

Thank you all for your prayers.
