(Thankful Thursday is just below!)
It was on a dark night at the mission compound in Haiti where I discovered the power and protection in the simple name of "Papa." There were many lessons to be learned and memories that would last a lifetime, but on this one unusually dark night, I was about to experience something that would have profound affect on me for the rest of my life.
For the rest of this exciting story, please join me over at the Internet Cafe today!
On this Thankful Thursday I'd like to thank God for the awesome opportunity I had to join the Internet Cafe' Team! At first I was very nervous because there are so many gifted writers who participate. I wasn't sure I would fit in or measure up at all. However, I was relieved to learn that the Cafe' isn’t about literary expertise, but its more about sharing what is in your heart and what God has taught you for the benefit of others. Whew...so I took the plunge and joined!
I hope you enjoyed the devotional today!
♥I'm thanking God daily for His divine protection over my family and friends.
♥I'm thanking Him for my church family.
♥I'm thanking the Lord for all the many wonderful friends I've met here in blog-land, and I'm praying one day I'll have the opportunity to meet many of you!
♥I'm thanking God for the daily opportunities I have to bring Glory and Honor to Him!
PRAISE REPORT!!!!! Nick did well with his surgery!!!! Thanks for your prayers♥
♥And finally, I’m hoping that you will have a wonderful Thankful Thursday today!

I love the song "Mighty to Save".. He certainly is!
Thank you for your blessings this week (& yes, I did make the scripture tag - if you're talking about the world one?)!
Praise God for Nick's report! I thank God for meeting you here in this blog-land too :) Though we are separated by seas and mountains, it is really wonderful that we can recount God's goodness and mercies to us together.
Thanks for sharing your thankful heart with us. I always enjoy your thankful post. May God continue to keep you and family in His love day. Hope you have a blessed day!
Wonderful news about Nick!
And now I'm going over to the Cafe to read the rest of your devotional.
Have a blessed weekend.
Thank you Susan and praise God for Nick!
I'm so excited and thankful you took the plunge because I enjoy what you share and heading over to Cafe Internet to read more about Haiti! I am suppose to start teaching someone from Haiti, who is here in YWAM -Mazatlan base!
I love your Thankful heart and hoping the same! Be blessed! Peggy
I found your blog through CWO. Loved your post.
Hey Susan,
Jan's testing schedule is as follows:
June 3 @ 7:00 p.m. ~ Lab
8:00 p.m. ~ MRI
June 4 @ 2:00 p.m. ~ meet with oncologist, Dr. Gilbert.
She usually tests MONTHLY. She has been "stable" since she finished her initial treatment, so in April they decided to wait 2 months.
Thanks for your prayers! After I wrote the first entry several days ago, I went back to Jordan's Caringbrdge site and read over it again. Jordan is just "one of your special young men." Isn't it funny, you have all sons and now you have all granddaughters, so far. Life is definitely full of twists and turns, but it is up to us how it we let it affect us and what we do with it.
praise God for the success of nick's surgery. something to really thank our might God for. blessings...
Hi Susan,
