While Stephen is attending the visitation for his grandfather tonight I want to share some things on my heart. Due to the funeral arrangements, he was unable to speak in chapel today but he has tentatively rescheduled for September 23rd. Please continue to pray for him as he continues to share his testimony. He feels deep within his heart that God is calling him to speak and share the testimony of healing in his life. He desperately wants others to feel the hope and know the promises of Jesus Christ. Stephen is completely surrendering to the Lord in full trust and obedience. His responses to obstacles and uncertainty have changed from stress and worry to courage and trust. His memories, both good and bad, still exist but his outlook is so different now. His trust in the Lord is immediate. It is one thing to believe in giving God all the glory and it is another to speak the words and offer up the praise to Him. Our prayers are constant. Our prayers are full of cries for help. Our prayers are abundantly full of gratitude for the blessings in our lives.
