I also am so blessed by those praying for me. Lent is still a longs ways from being over and now is when I feel the rubber hits the road...it is in the doldrums of these still cold days of winter, the newness of Lent is wearing off and all that is left is the sheer will to be faithful to our commitments - fast, prayer, almsgiving. I know I have failed on certain occassions, but I try to pick myself back up and remember God's mercy is much greater than anything I could do...so Onward Christian Soldier! ;) Have a great rest of the week and God Bless!Joy Beyond the Crosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09418519519090894030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8487775382188777638.post-91609619682165412072010-03-04T04:55:54.700-08:002010-03-04T04:55:54.700-08:00Wow.

My husband and I are facing a possible job loss by the end of the month but we have great hope and trust that the Lord will continue to bless us. <br /><br />We are also helping other families get out of debt through Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University and are mentoring one single mother in particular. I will pray for her today, absolutely. Thanks for helping me refocus.<br /><br />God bless you!Stacie Mountshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05345830883270595348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8487775382188777638.post-89509234021747798202010-03-03T21:21:54.290-08:002010-03-03T21:21:54.290-08:00I agree.

I have so many people I am praying for lately that I find myself stopping in the silence and saying prayers whenever I can. I want so bad for my prayer buddy to have some hope and answered prayers.a thorn in the pewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11975456892778482598noreply@blogger.com
