Mr. Stanley Kenyon

Please pray for Mr. Stanley Kenyon. This dear man has become like "another father" to me and has been such a blessing in my life. He was admitted to the hospital last night. Please pray for grace for him and for wisdom for the doctors! The verse he gave me as I was leaving him the other night was Philippians 1:23-25 - But I am in a strait betwixt the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ; for it is far better: yet to abide in the flesh is more needful for your sake. And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith. He feels his work here is not yet complete. Even as he was lying there he was encouraging me to hold fast. He has such a deep faith - yet SO simple! Something I so desire!

I will be Mrs. Tallman ...background story!

This one shift turned into many more as Ben went to the supervisor (unbeknownst to me) requesting the same schedule. These shifts proved to be a highlight in my week and I couldn't wait to get on the truck every other Sunday with Benjamin. I cannot tell you when we started dating, but our first time meeting up to study (outside of work) was October 12th after school in a Starbucks in Grimsby, ON. Benjamin was a once in a lifetime friend and I was growing to admire and respect the man I saw in him. Finally, our school semester was over and we were able to spend a bit more time together and getting to know each others families. He fit into my family so well from day one. My siblings adored him as he took time to listen to them and be interested in their lives! Christmas together was amazing...and then it was ...

I Am Your Shield

May He give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of those secret places! I Am Your Shield Rachel Wissman My child are you discouraged By the sorrows of the day Does it seem like life is crumbing The skies have turned to grey Don’t forget I gave you promises to guide you every hour In the moment of your heartbreak Let me show you my great power And I will be your shield When the battle rages on And I will be your light when the way ahead is dark I will be your strong tower And guide you every hour Just place your life completely in my hand I know it won’t be easy I never said it would But my grace will always be there My plans for you are good Remember that your weaknesses are perfect in my sight Only when you yield them to ...
