20/20

It is a miracle! I now have perfect vision! I can See. I am so thank to God for allowing me to have LASIK eye surgery yesterday. I say it is a miracle because God is the creator of science and technology. Jesus healed me with a laser. In Jesus' days He healed blindeness with saliva, today he can do it with technology. I feel very humbled and immensly grateful for such a precious gift. When I began to consider whether i should do the LASIK or not, I thought, 'God did not create humans to be blind, but sin entered the world our bodies pay the consequences in having bodies that decay or are not in the original state of being as in creation- perfect. However God'S loving mercy provided a way as he always does to pay the way for me to have the vision I should have --20/20. God not only desires to restore our sight, God desires to restore our hearts, souls, minds, our whole being. He loves you so much He has made a way for you to be restored through the price His Son Jesus paid for us. He rose from that death because He is Victorious. 

Jesus is Victorious in whatever situation we may have. All he asks is that we come to Him and ask Him to be Our LORD and Savior.

Was I nervous?...A little, but I prayed, "God I am your child, I am the apple of your eye, your thoughts for me are more than the sand of the oceans, you remind those doctors, techs, nurses who I am, and that you are the Boss."

As I nervously began to feel and see all that the Dr. began to do to my eyes, I felt Jesus' peace comfort me, remimding me of His promises. A favorite song that comes from Psalm 40 kept resounding in my head, and I kept singing "Jesus, lover of my soul, Jesus I will never let you go, you've taken me from the miry clay, set my foot upon a rock, and now I know, I love you, I need you, though my world may fall, I will never let you go. My savior, my closest friend! I will worship you until the very end". ....What comfort I had in knowing that Jesus was protecting me, that He was my physician and is Victorious!

I am also grateful that because of Him he has given me a Husband Carlos Valencia, who love me and works hard to care for his wife. He spoils me .

I have always known that God will one day have us living overseas. With my new vision, I wont have to worry about my contacts, glasses, or prescriptions. This brings us a stepper to that day where we will serve in other countries.

I cannot adequately express in words how grateful I am. Glory to God that Jesus' mercies are new every morning, He is Faithful and Trustworthy.

Ten years ago, I was suffering from a personal attack.

Ten years ago, I was suffering from a personal attack. I was grieving a tragic loss and trauma. Satan terrorized my life. My life was nearly broken into pieces. Because of the love and grace of God, today I am alive!

Today, I can testify that God is the great healer, redeemer, comforter, and restorer. Though I turned my back on my God, Jesus was always there, lovingly reminding me that He was there. When I thought there was no more hope, when I thought I was too far from forgiveness and restoration, Christ made up the difference. He placed people in my life who would comfort and love me and who would inspire me to move forward.

I want you to know that no matter how terrible your life might have been terrorized or is being terrorized, Jesus is whispering in your ear. Telling you that He loves you, you don't have to fight anymore, and let Him take care of your problem. God has already won the Victory against the most significant terrorist.

God is whispering in your ear: Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. I am thankful that I allowed God to restore my life, my hope, and my future. I have had the privilege of serving Christ. God has given me an amazing life partner, and we are blessed to serve God together. It is only because of God's love and mercy that I am alive to joyfully share my life verses with you. Verses that I hope will give you hope, a hope that God can take you out of the worst mud and mire:

 Psalms 40:1-4
I waited patiently for the LORD;
he turned to me and heard my cry.
He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand.
He put a new song in my mouth,
a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear the LORD
and put their trust in him.
Blessed is the one
who trusts in the LORD,

Thankful and prayer request


I am so thankful to God for allowing me to finish my my "Understanding Islam Class". By His grace i made it to the end. May I ask you to help me pray for Muslims this month as this month they will fast for 30 days and on the last day seek God in visions and prayer, pray that God will reveal himself in Truth. May they see Gods love in us, may we be Light to them. God loves each one of them as he loves you amd me. He loved them so much He sent His Son Jesus to die for them so they would not perish but have everlasting life.
