Peggy’s Update 6.6.2011

Dear Ones:

We can’t hold a gun to God and demand that He do what we say because we claim we have enough faith. Instead we have to trust Him, to believe He is all powerful, powerful enough to heal us or help us through our struggles. That is what true faith is all about.

These words come from a book I am reading, “What to pray when you don’t know what to pray.” I have returned from Oklahoma. This trip was the sixth one in I have made there in the past year. The visit this time was to see my family, as the one year anniversary of Mama’s death is the sixteenth of June, to attend my Daddy’s family reunion I haven’t been to in ten years, to go with him to Mama’s grave for a visit together and to have a heart to heart talk with him about some things the Lord had placed on my heart concerning the relationship my Daddy and I don’t have with each other.

I would like to be able to tell you all how wonderful it all played out and what a great future there is for the relationship but that would not be truth. However, I can say that there were some things settled in our relationship even if it wasn’t the way I had hoped and prayed for. That in itself is an answer to prayer.

I have to believe that the one I call Father is still able to do above and beyond all I can think, hope or believe concerning my Daddy and his family.I am so thankful for my salvation and the salvation of my children. I am so thankful we had the influence of godliness in our lives as we became our own little family.It is a frightening thing to see people grow old in trespasses and sin and what that does to your mind, heart and soul.

So, now I get back to work in Michigan and keep believing the Lord is working as only He can do to bring about the changes He wants in the lives of those I call family.Peace and blessings to you all today. PeggyB
