Ok....so it seems like I'm always late reading and posting, but I agree..........WOW!!! Ray has been on my mind so much lately that I feel inspired to pray constantly for him and his family. I was pleasantly surprised to see the update, even though Ray's medical condition is still guarded. Tears of love and thanksgiving streamed down my face as I read all the emails to Ray. My heart is overflowing with love for our Father and his vessels...1 year ago I found it difficult to feel ANYTHING but dispair and now my cup runneth over!!! Thank you, Lord Jesus, for leading me to these people (ya'll) and for all the love and encouragement shared between members of this forum.
Ray stated that he was going to step out on faith regarding the Conference and it reminded me of something I read that was stated by Martin Luther King, Jr. "Take the first step in faith.....you don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step." (my rendition, of course). I too am taking a step in faith and will try desperately to save enough to take my daughter and I to that Conference, Lord willing. Hope to meet many of you there!
May the Love,Peace, and Truth of Christ be with us all.
