IMMEASURABLY MORE.....

"Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us..." Ephesians 3:20 NIV

He has surrounded me in His constant Love!  Certainly, there is more than I have asked or ever imagined!  As I have shared about the newest "kindred spirits" in this blog...there are "immeasurably more"! 

Throughout my life there have been so many "special" people!  My extended family, obtained after the death of my mother, was an unexpected gift!  My father had found a new beginning!  And then...he was gone as well, along with my daughter, sister, and brother.  That "gift" of a new beginning remained.

My dearest and great friend from my teen years helped me at a time I realized God was so in control of my life!

Having attended Southwestern College in Phoenix, AZ after Arizona Bible College had closed, I have remained in close contact with many of my colleagues.  Vince Trujillo and his lovely wife are currently very busy in His Purpose.  I know they have prayed for so many, unceasingly...

"Immeasurably More"...the blessings of my children.  Four daughters!  Amy, Sherry, Geri Ann, and Jenny...more than I had ever dreamed of!

 Amy is amazing!  She has suffered with Muscular Dystrophy all of her life, but rarely complains.  Her father and grand-father also had this disease...both are now in Heaven.  Her disease led to many different specialty Doctors through MDA.  When first we found out about her disease, my heart trembled.  I must have cried a river wondering how I could best help her.  Through prayer and determination she achieved things beyond normal duration.  The day she graduated from Salisbury State University was a huge achievement! She is wonderfully blessed with twins...a boy and a girl!!  She remains strong and enjoys her job as a Computer Analyst today.

Sherry is determined!  Thankfully, she did not inherit the MD and was so helpful with Amy.  What a team they became and still are.  Perhaps Sherry felt badly because her sister had something more difficult to bear, but she was always smiling at her sister, saying, "yes you can"!  If ever there is something I need done quickly and efficiently...it is always, Sherry.  Her achievements through being a great wife, mother of two daughters, and becoming an Area Manager are a "wow" factor!

Geri Ann, lives in Heaven!  This inconceivable pain, was more than I ever imagined!  She died in womb at 36 weeks and per the autopsy, without reason.  The Doctors likened it to SIDS.  I carried her alive...and then... dead.  Carrying death.... within me.... was so alien...the worst place I have ever been.  Psalms Chapter 23 pressed my mind's eye.  My current "idiopathic" place...becomes... nothing... in comparison. 

You can never replace any spirit in this world.  They are all specific.  To have my next daughter, was not "ever" to replace Geri Ann,.... He gave me a "healing" through Jenny.

Jennifer is sparkle!  The day she was born, a huge cloud drifted from me and re-opened my body, soul, and spirit.  If ever there was more of a desire in my life...I cannot remember it.  She grew with such enjoyment of music! (she plays the piano so beautifully)  He knew how I needed her...I was blessed with again "immeasurably more"!  She is a wonderful wife, mother of a son and daughter, and enjoys being a part of the following journey:

"His power at work within us...."

Many "Angels among us" have touched me so deeply. This is where my words are not enough!  I need something deeper to communicate, because these "kindred spirits" took my breaking heart and made it whole.  Never in my wildest dreams, did I ever think there was one such human spirit, in our world. But there are many! Through God's "power at work" within them...there is consistently...."HIS" PLACEMENT OF IMMEASURABLY MORE!
