Would to God there were more women and men with this lady’s godly spirit! This lady knows the meaning of Psalm 46:1 that says “…God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” what a GREAT God I serve!

YES I THINK AT TIMES AND AT CROSSROADS OF OUR WALK WITH GOD THAT THESE THOUGHTS COME TO OUR MINDS. BUT THE GREAT ONES WILL PUSH ON AS IF THERE IS BUT ONE CHOICE AND THAT IS TO KEEP PERSERVERING AND STAY DETERMINED. PUSHING AGAINST THE FLOW OF THE WORLD TO ARRIVE AT OUR DESTINY. MILDRED

Michael,

It is a fact most people, although proud owners of a Bible, do not read their Bible’s. They read (so called) Christian’s lives! It’s true, more times than not, our lives are the only “epistles” anyone will ever read. This is why I absolutely refuse to give up! Every day I say, “I will not live in regret, retreat, or reserve!” YES life is an upstream swim, but WOW! The rewards are plenty and thankfully when the current get’s rough we are never alone! I’d like to remind your readers; even the mighty oak was once a little nut who held his ground! Don’t give up! Despite how you may feel, you are never, ever alone! He has you and He will never, ever let you fall!

I pray everything you put your hands to will prosper above and beyond anything you could have anticipated!

Blessings in Christ,
Rebecca

Greetings in HIM Michael,
Once again with her marvelous witness we are reminded, “this world is not my home, I’m just a passin’ through…” With troubling times ahead this is a shot in the arm for the body of Christ and what we are here for in the words of the Apostle Paul, whether we live or die, in Christ it is gain! Life is hard, but in the end it is just the journey, NOT the end or our reward, our hope is in HIM.

Just this weekend I was review what I had written a few weeks back. “Is life one struggle after another that only ends in failure?”

Thank you for the encouragement and the renewed perspective. I may make it to the ‘headwaters’. I may not, but I may make it possible for others to make it there. Either way I am used by God. What else is there in life but usefullness for God?

Hi Michael,
I was truly Blessed in reading your story about 92 and still heading upstram! What an awesome video! This is what it is all about! Sharing the WORD and telling someone that HE, JESUS loves them! A TRUE TESTIMONY of FAITH! This should give us all a check in our spirit. Would we have done the same or panicked! I loved it, thanks.

Absolutely awesome video! Michael, thanks also for the “check-up from the neck up.” I often tell others in so many words to make the commitment to reach their destiny. Not to reach a particular goal, although that can be part of it, but to make the commitment/decision to that nothing will stop you. I need to take my own medicine! This is a reflection of Paul’s admonition in Philippians to have the mind of Christ, where Jesus basically decided that He was going to do God’s will no matter what. He had that mindset and God wants us to have it as well. Settle the decision in our minds beforehand that we will do it.

Also, this woman looks great at 92! Reminded me of Proverbs 4:22, about keeping God’s Word within us, “for they are life to those who find them and health to a man’s whole body.” Talk about seeing that come true in someone’s life! She’s a living example.

Blessings to you Michael (once again!),
Dennis
