His grace is sufficient for us

Hello - it's me, Sandy -

Sorry it's been so long since I have posted anything. My life has been in turmoil to say the least. My husband, Ron has been to "hell" and back with his illness and everywhere he has been, I have been. His experience of course was major illness which is pretty bad, but mine has been mental and all I can say is that it's been a road I would never choose to go down again. The Lord has heard me cry for him many and many a time during these times of trial and tribulation.

I chose the title "His grace is sufficient for us" because it really is. I have to be honest and tell you that there have been times that I thought the Lord was too busy to help me out. I have struggled and worried and stressed over so many things. My husband's health, finances, taxes, bills, gasoline prices, everything. I know and I mean I do really know that the Lord will see my husband and I through all of this. In Deuteronomy 31:8 the Bible says And the Lord, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee nor forsake thee; fear not neither be dismayed" . This verse means everything to me - I have memorized it and recall it when I get fearful and anxious. God does go before us. He knows the beginning from the end. He in due time will save us from our tribulations. He is with us and he won't forsake us. How wonderful is that? He doesn't want us to fear or be dismayed because if we know Him and trust Him, He will take care of us.

I have had so many opportunities lately to exercise faith. My faith is certainly not as strong as it should or could be but I do have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. He is strong and I can always lean on Him. In the wee hours of the morning when there is no one to talk to - I can go before the Lord and experience a perfect peace beyond all understanding. His love is unfailing - His grace is sufficient for us. We go through these trials, but we can let Him carry our burdens.

My husband is in a rehab center now. He has come back from the doors of death twice within the last two months. Today he was throwing up and I got very upset about it. Tonight he is doing better. The Lord's grace is sufficient for my husband, Ron. Still I believe that God didn't bring him this far to let us lose him. I know that the Lord is working and breathing the breath of life and strength back into Ron's body.

P.S. Any prayers sent Ron's way would be greatly appreciated. He is still on a ventilator and gets very fearful and stressed when they try to wean him off of it. I have asked God to breathe in Ron the breath of life to his lungs. Prayers for Ron's lungs would be most appreciated and would be a huge blessing to him as well as me.
