I want to say so much about this, but I don't have time...Erika is at the Dr and Kailee has to be watched like a hawk...Maddie is sleeping...
We that are familiar with the Bible knows that Hebrews the 11th chapter is about Faith...Heros of the faith...Those aren't the heros I am talking about today...There are heros of the faith today that will never be included in the Bible, but touch our lives just as much...When I think of the faithful prayer warriors that have already gone on in my lifetime, I really get concerned about it...Who is going to fill their shoes,??? We can see that letting down the standard in just my lifetime has cost us plenty...Evil is so prevelant in our society, a different kind of evil, no remorse, no conviction, no intention of admitting and forsaking...But for today I want to talk about a personal faith hero of mine...She isn't rich by this world's standards at all...She isn't a professor at the elitist colleges of America, but she is priceless in my eyes...When Nanny prays things happen, when Nanny says God is going to move or answer because she has prayed through to the victory, you can take it to the bank...Nanny is in her mid eighties and by the course of nature she is going to be gone soon...She has been a rock in my life...She called me today in Georgia and said "How's Erika? She said I have really been praying and fasting for her, for Charlie, for Brad...I really prayed yesterday" Now that is an amazing woman in my eyes...She has her own needs, her own family, her own life and she cares enough about me and mine, that she would fast and pray for my family...It really makes me ashamed, as much as I pray, as much as I try to fast, to really get in touch with God, am I willing to do this for others too??? That is where the blessing is...I know Nanny will be blessed every day she has left, for her life is completely and totally sold out to Jesus...I know something good is going to come from this prayer....I can't get over her calling me today....Just when we think we don't know what else to do to get an answer, something wonderful, something miraclous is just around the next corner!!!! Oh God let me be the next generation of prayer warriors to stand in the gap for souls and needs...Oh to tell all she said today that touched my heart...But God knows and bring it quickly Lord Jesus!!! Surprise us all with your great love, your great mercy, your great mighty power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My family needs it, I need it and God is able...Thanks Nanny, you have been a blessing beyond words in my life!!!!

She's a hero in my eyes too!!!!!!
Wow what a woman. Could you have her prayer for me and my family. I know that Jonathan is going to come back, because we raised him right.
pray for me sorry I just noticed I put prayer
Pam I will tell her at church tomorrow if she is there and if she isn't able to make it, I will call her myself...
God bless you and your family...I can still see Jonathan at Youth Camp in Oklahoma mimicking Alex Jackson singing "She's the One"...Man that was sooooo funny!!! How life changes, friends change, good times, bad times, sad times, happy times, but this one thing I do know...GOD WILL NEVER CHANGE and his power is still the same...IF we meet his conditions on his time table, he will accomplish his will in our life and the life of our family...I have spent a lifetime banking on that one thing and I know OUR GOD will need no bailouts...PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME FOREVER MORE...And I don't know about you, but whatever happens whether it turns out the way I hope, I STILL WILL SERVE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thank you Vicky. I know David and I were talking about Jonathan doing that song at youth camp. I know that God is still in control, but I am like you no matter what the outcome, I'm still going to serve God, I want to be faithful and make heaven my home. Thank you for your prayers
