Psalm 54:4
Surely God is my help;
the Lord is the one who sustains me.
Despite struggling last week trying to keep up with the challenge, I relied on God as my help.
My writing muse eluded me and real life came knocking. I hope I can get back on track this week.
Jesus answered many prayers: my mom moved to rehab last Monday, and is recovering, and my husband returned to part time work.
How has God helped you lately? Lets uplift one another with our testimonies of His faithfulness.

How well I understand “life entering in” to my writing plans! I try to set aside Mondays and Fridays to get ahead on my posts which is always my hope since I must get a post out every day, but life has a tendency to spoil that plan especially on Mondays.
I’m glad to hear about your mom and husband. Thanks so much for hosting each week.

Mary,
I am so thankful that the Lord has been helping you, and that you have shared that encouragement with us here. He has been speaking to me about the deep places of His mercy also. I am continuing to pray for you dear sister!
So glad you are back friend!
Mary – love the answers to prayers for both your mom and husband -God is good! One of these days I am going to participate in the write 31 days and/or the Nano-Rimo November – just not this year – kudos to you for doing it – especially with everything that has been occurring in your life this year. Thanks for the linkup
Debbie, you are so welcome. I really appreciate your faithful support.

Mary, it’s so good to hear that your mom and husband are doing better. I pray that you will find time for rest and care for yourself, too. I’m so glad we can always count on God to help us. Blessings to you! xo
Gayl, as always thank you much for your prayers. I really believe my mom and husband are doing better because of faithful prayer warriors like yourself.

I am seeing my health improve, had some family issues resolved and had a friend from Pinterest get out of the hospital after 10 mos. Sowing His word helps so much, but just receive that amazing love.
So glad to hear of improvement for your mom and husband. Recovery is such a process, often a slow one. But these steps are encouraging, and I pray the process continues steadily.
