Romans 5:1-5 “Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.“
Dearly Beloved: May God’s peace, grace, mercy and love be ever upon you and may you share it with one another. Oh boy, what a month! My dear friend, Erica, died and now my beautiful and precious Goddaughter and niece, Kyrah, is fighting for her life. She has been med-flighted to Boston by helicopter and as I am writing this, she is on life support and in a coma. Kyrah was born with a heart defect where only one side of her heart works. She has been a miracle child since she was born. She is only sixteen and she has had more than five open heart surgeries. People with her condition usually don’t live past thirteen years old. Ever the fighter, Kyrah has defied the odds. Throughout her life, doctors have been stunned at the level of energy Kyrah has. Most kids with her condition are weak and tired all the time. Not Kyrah. If you didn’t see her scars or heard her story, you would never know that she has a heart condition. Her strength and energy are remarkable even for a healthy person. Kyrah has always been an inspiration to all of us who know and love her. I believe that that is exactly what God intended her to be. (more…)
