Thank the Lord for another great Sunday. We were greatly blessed with God's presence. It was good to see James and Krystel with us again. They are the newest couple at our church and are engaged to be married.
Several were away with family gatherings and/or on vacation but the ones who were there were worshipping and hungry for God. He came in a marvelous way.
We were blessed with a surprise visit. Back about three months ago, Sister Cathy Coleman had a serious accident with moderate to severe traumatic brain damage on both sides of her brain. We have followed her progress and requested prayer all over the world for her recovery. We are thankful and proud to announce that Sister Cathy Coleman, her husband Mike and granddaughter, Mariah Hernandez came for the last part of the worship service. Sister Cathy is progressing daily. Mike shared with the congregation how that he believes that God is working a daily miracle in his wife's life. He stated that the miracle for him has been the many encouraging members and friends of the church and the medical staff where Cathy worked as an RN. He noted that seeing the compassion, care and encouragement of so many has been a miracle in his life.
He also explained that each one of the members and friends would need to re-introduce themselves since Sister Cathy's memory has been, for the lack of a better word, mostly erased. Each one came by and greeted Sister Cathy and introduced themselves. It was a special moment in time as each one expressed their love and care for Sister Cathy. We all came around and prayed with her, Mike and Mariah. Sister Cathy still has her same joyous countenance but needs to re-learn a lot of what she has lost.
We continue to pray for this family. . .God takes what seems to be a destructive tragedy and uses it for HIS purposes and for the benefit of HIS children. . .and for HIS GLORY!
