I am glad it encouraged you . . . the whole reason I started it was to encourage people to believe God beyond the daily grind.

Lori-
Billy read this and had a big smile on his face...the first one in a long time. I didn't have him read it when he was filled with so much anger, but the Lord has put an enormous amount of peace in his heart these past few days and I think Billy believes these words now. The Lord is so generous in answering all of our prayers. God bless your believing heart through this trial. It is through the strength of our belief that miracles are happening each day. You are so beautiful to me. I love you.
