As we faithfully minister the gospel despite our shortcomings, ill-health, and reluctance to go( because of
the fear of the unknown) we are enveloped by strength peace joy and courage that only comes from
the powerful Holy Spirit as He reveals God's word to us.

I had a terrifying dream the other night. It was of Brad collapsing on stage. No doubt it was because I do
fear losing him. Please don't reprimand me, just pray for me. I do trust God, even when I am weak and
can scarcely find enough peace to make it through my day without crying. I DO trust God. Heaven will be
so sweet. For Brad, I am ready for him to go. For the boys and I... we so desperately need Brad here with
us. I wish we could all go right now together. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the rapture would occur as I am
writing this?

Obviously I am still writing, so I press on. Though I may not know our immediate steps into the future.
Though the path is dreary and dim and I feel as though I may sink any moment, I have stepped out onto
the water and I am doing my best to keep my eyes on Jesus (as Peter did Matthew 14:28-31).
Let me write this out for you because as I am reading it I am holding back tears of awe and thanks.

Matt 14:28-31, 28And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the
water. 29And he said, Come and when Peter was come down out of the ship , he walked on the water, to
go to Jesus. 30But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid: and beginning to sink, he cried,
saying Lord save me. 31And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand and caught him and said unto
him O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

Isaiah in chapter 40 and verses 12-15 talks about the character of God. Wow, He measures all the
waters in the palm of HIs hand. He stretches out HIs arms and measures the heavens. He comprehends
the dust of the earth and weighs the mountains in a scale. Who counsels the almighty? The mighty
nations of our day as the nations of before are as a drop of a bucket to Him.

The Great I Am is my God, His precious Son is my Redeemer and God the Holy Spirit is my strength and
guide. I am human and as Peter I have wavering faith at times but also as Peter I love Jesus. In
obedience to God I press on.
I John 5:2 -By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and KEEP HIS
COMMANDMENTS.

Dear Friends as God sures up our faith and makes us stronger please continue to pray for us. Pray in
accordance to Colossians 4:3-4, -3Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of
utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ for which I am also in bonds: 4That I may make it manifest as I
ought to speak.

Brad grows stronger everyday. Though he is on another round of antibiotics for infection, and though he
tires easily, he can hardly wait for each time to share the gospel in song. I praise God for my man. He is
so strong in the Lord. I am grateful!!!
