God's Word and the Heavens declare HIS glory!!

I am heavy hearted as I write this, but I wanted to
share my heart.

Our world is so full of hurting people. Where are we,
as believers, failing the world around us? My heart
has just been aching today for several people that the
Lord has brought into the path of our family. We, as
a family, are crying out to the Lord on their behalf.
What I would like to request is that if you are reading
this, would you, too, commit to praying for these precious
individuals? The Lord knows who they are.

We all must realize that God is our final authority. His
word is the foundation of our faith. We MUST---ABSOLUTELY
MUST---base ALL of our lives, our beliefs, our everything
on HIM and HIS WORD!!! HE WILL NOT LET US DOWN!!!!

Okay...sorry for being SOOO preachy...just needed to let
off some steam!!!

Much Love to all who read this and commit to praying with
our family for these precious souls!!!

Love, Tracy
