Our God Is An Awesome God

-

Aww, thank you so much for your prayers!

I am amazed as I look back on the last 8 months that I spent with Alice.

She was hospitalized in March with pneumonia & after weeks of tests, she learned that she had kidney failure, blood infection & liver failure. 

Years of addiction had caught up & now she had to be still.

God is amazing and knew how to draw her back. 

By July she began to understand & accept that her days were short. She wanted a Bible & was praying.

God gave her another gift…. reconciliation with her daughters & family. 

By September, it was obvious that she wasn’t getting better. She loves Halloween (that’s her favorite holiday)….

She knew that while in the nursing home she was only surviving & made the decision to go home to celebrate Halloween. 

Her daughter & I had a great time with her!
I haven’t been trick or treating in a long time!
She struggled with lots of pain, getting around in a wheelchair & the small things like going to the bathroom, showering, etc.

After 3 weeks, her body was tired. 
Truly God’s handiwork was evident in her last days… restoration, forgiveness and peace.
Our God is an awesome God…
All glory, honor & praise is His alone!

Let us celebrate the glorious work that God has done in restoring our souls and bringing us into His marvelous light.
“Truly to be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord”   2 Corinthians 5:8

My tears are of joy! 
For Alice is no longer in pain nor bound in addiction. 
My heart aches but my spirit soars… knowing that God was merciful & that Alice (like the prodigal son) went home into the arms of the Father.

One day you will meet her and you will get a kick, of how crazy & loving she is… but it will be her testimony that will blow you away! 
Our God is an awesome God!

ALICE YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN




 ALICE YOU WERE LOVED AND WILL BE MISSED

“We All Go The Way of Grace”

     Proverbs 21:22 “Whoever pursues righteous and unfailing love will find life, righteousness and honor” Father, Elohim,  “Thank you” 4 putting your wonderful creation together for all to enjoy and be rich by it all. Today in LA it has been raining, which is one thing we do not get much of .. but I “thank you” for it. It’s a time of slowing down.  It’s a time to sit and be still in the comfort of a warm home with family. I “thank you” Lord for the newness that comes with rain. It washes our soul and our mind.  We can take time to be still and reflect on where I AM .. where am I going .. and how to get there. The rain brings us to a stop and a moment to care about family, to look at ourselves and a chance for change, if needed. The rain heals the soul and lights it up with hope and freshness.  It’s a bath from head to toe that relaxes my spirit with the feeling of cleansing within me. Take time to enjoy this amazing season!  job leon https://youtu.be/Zua8MJxnAwE?si=Qq1O56hCjfVDlrjksi
