It's been awhile since I've updated the blog.  Pastor or Denise usually tell me what to put on the blog but there really hasn't been anything new.   I visited with her today for a short time.  She was sitting up on the couch talking with me and a couple of ladies from church.  It was hard to see her so thin and so weak.  What really amazed me was her concern for everyone else.  I have to tell you that last week she was such a blessing to so many.  It was Vacation Bible School last week at our church.  Denise has always been very involved with VBS so it was difficult for her not to be there.  Instead of sitting home letting Satan discourage her she decided to make the best of it.  She became a VBS prayer warrior!  Everyday I would give her a specific list of prayer requests for VBS for that night including who was teaching.  She backed us up in prayer and let me tell you, it was the best VBS we have ever had and I attribute that to her faithfullness in prayer and of course God's faithfulness in answering them!  It resulted in many getting saved (which she asked for their names so that she could continue pray for them!)  As we talked today, she was excited to hear all that went on last week.  You could seem the joy in her eyes! I can't help but smile when I am typing this because that's what naturally happens when I think of her!  What an amazing example she has been to me personally and I know to many that are reading this!  Thank you for praying for her and her family.  Please continue to lift them up to the Lord!
