A Timely Word

Flash Player needed to view this VideoBlog.

God always gives us the right word at the right time. The night before surgery, Casey and I were praying and God led me straight to this:

"Praise the Lord, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise His holy name. Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits - who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's." Ps.103:1-5 (make sure you check out the video...Kelly Grace surprised me with a healing song! For more videos, scroll down.)

Rachel Steer's Gravatar Pastor Scotty,
You will always hold a special place in our family's hearts. I remember the day that you held our Abby and prayed for her. You had tears in your eyes as you dedicated her to the Lord. I felt the miracle begin to unfold that very moment as you had the congregation lift hands toward our daughter. She has undergone a miraculous recovery. She went from Hospice Care to an energetic, beautiful 15 month-old. Abby has been given her miracle. Michael and I have reclaimed our daughter from the hands of death. And you were there in the beginning. You asked for healing, and she was healed. So now we ask for healing for you, Pastor Scotty, and we believe that our Lord will bless you with your miracle as well.
In Love,
Michael, Rachel, Andrew, and Abigail Steer
