God's Grace

Me and the girls are in Atlanta for two and a half weeks....and it's HOT! Murray is in Wyoming trying to figure out what to do with himself, he's a little lonely but I'm sure he'll manage just fine.

Murray and I have also been doing a devotional together nightly by phone. It's been so good. The lessons have been so timely and God's mercy abounds. I have a sister who is an addict and I knew that coming here would be hard. I want to help her. I want to heal her. I want to FIX IT. And when I was brought to tears, my husband and I opened the bible and God revealed that only HE can fix it. I don't have those magic words. I can't wave a magic wand. It's not for me to fix. All I can do it LOVE THE LORD, live my life as an example, pray for my sister, and entrust her to God. He is still waiting with his arms open - when she is ready, she will turn to Him and He will heal those parts of her that are broken. He will reveal His plan for her life. He will bring her incredible strength and wisdom. Her life will not be wasted. Until then, I am praying.
