Dave and Irene,

Please know that Ali and I are praying for you and your family. This is wonderful to share your faith and courage in such a dynamic way. Manning’s words have been powerful in my life too. I love how he writes about the here and now and plays on the concept of nowhere. If we do not ruthlessly focus our faith on what is here, now; then we are nowhere. Thank you for building us up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.

Tia Rini, I just wanted to let you know that you are in mine and my kids’ thoughts and prayers. I sent out a prayer request at my church for you and they all wish you well. I truly believe God hears His people. I catch myself often asking God,“Why God?” But then I remember Isa.49:23 “Anyone who trusts in Me will not be disappointed.” Also another verse comes into mind, Ps.50:15 “I want you to trust Me in your times of trouble, so I can rescue you and you can give Me glory.” Our God is an amazing God and I pray that He heals you according to His plan and His purpose. Also please tell Tio Dave, Joci, and Joanna we all say hello, we love and miss you guys. God Bless!

To my Tia,

I returned to work this morning, 7:30am. (YIKES!!) I got on the computer and I looked over to my left on my wall. My coworker and I always try to surround our selves with scriptures to encourage us and remind us that even we feel lonely or sad that He is there to help. But, one that I keep next to me remind me of you.

[blockquote source=”Hebrews 11:1″]Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.[/blockquote]

There are things we have not seen. But, there is hope. Attaining these things will happen through Faith!!

I love you~ Ceci
