We have been thanking Him and still praying for your recovery. A day or two after your surgery, we were praying over lunch and I asked God to help you get better. Raya interrupted me and said "He already made her better!" Loved that! Wish I could hug you... Praise God! We have been thanking Him and still praying for your recovery.

He is faithful and cares for us though we are so undeserving. i worship Him with you, friend. trying to relate...this is so hilarious...the closest thing i can think of to the feeling of relief from being on this side of surgery is the ending of a semester courseload/taking that final exam or the ending of a school year.... obviously can't even come close to comprehending the feeling of relief that your very life/motherhood/time on this earth was being threatened...and the threat is dispelled! gone! you are healed! wow, martha marie! as i contemplate, i do rejoice with you...and breathe a long sigh of relief with you! oh, we are so inspired by your testimony. thank you so so much for taking time to share your thoughts about what's most important in life.... there's an old song that comes to mind..."i want to live like i'm leavin'...live like i'm leavin'...i want to live like i'm leavin' today...." may your thoughts inspire dozens, hundreds, thousands...may the idea of the importance of how our time is spent here cause a ripple-effect among your bloggers, their friends, friends of their friends...all of your other contacts at church, SWU, throughout the wesleyan church and beyond...eddie's professional contacts, acquaintances, and friends...your families... may God use you to inspire many...that the fruit would be as a hundred-fold! do you remember the little story about the bird? if a bird were to take one grain of sand from myrtle beach to the moon, fly back to earth, get another grain of sand, take that grain to the moon, fly back to myrtle beach, take another grain of sand to the moon...until he had taken every grain of sand from myrtle beach to the moon...that that would be the BEGINNING of eternity! oh, if i am blessed with long life, i am still just a breath...and in that breath, the ONLY THING THAT MATTERS is what i do that affects eternity! oh...may we let the cares of this life fall off and live solely for the purpose of glorifying our Father who is in heaven and loving His creation the way He does! Colossians 3:2 "set your mind on things above, not on the things that are on earth." thank you, martha marie, for your inspiration! i want to be like you...and to think like you, friend. i love you, steph He IS amazing! He is faithful and cares for us though we are so undeserving. i worship Him with you, friend.

do you remember the little story about the bird? if a bird were to take one grain of sand from myrtle beach to the moon, fly back to earth, get another grain of sand, take that grain to the moon, fly back to myrtle beach, take another grain of sand to the moon…until he had taken every grain of sand from myrtle beach to the moon…that that would be the BEGINNING of eternity! oh, if i am blessed with long life, i am still just a breath…and in that breath, the ONLY THING THAT MATTERS is what i do that affects eternity! oh…may we let the cares of this life fall off and live solely for the purpose of glorifying our Father who is in heaven and loving His creation the way He does!
