Back in June, our Pastor, Travis Lane, did a series of messages entitled, "Real People, Real Faith, Real Impact". Each Sunday morning and each Sunday evening throughout the month of June, excluding Father's Day, a different person from the congregation would be featured in a video. They would speak of the faithfulness which the Lord provided throughout a specific trial.
We heard some phenomenal testimonies of God's amazing grace, His everlasting love and His never-ending faithfulness!
We heard from a wife and Mom of two small children who is currently helping to care for her husband who contracted Lyme Disease.
A man who went through triple bypass heart surgery, as well as having his heart valve replaced, and the grueling recovery time.
A lady who battled breast cancer, and won the victory! Praise the Lord!
A man who deals with chronic pancreatitis and the very painful symptoms which accompany that disease. As this is being posted, he is back in the hospital with a very bad flare up. If you think of it, please keep him (Carl) in your prayers.
A wife who stood by the side of her husband and was his care giver as he went through treatments for cancer. He also won the victory over that horrible disease! Praise God!
And then there was me!
Yes, I was honored to be chosen to share my testimony of God's amazing grace and faithfulness over the past fifteen years of dealing with a very rare, confusing and extremely difficult to treat chronic illness.
I'll let my words speak for themselves!
I'm praying the Lord will use the words which He gave to me to encourage, bless and help, especially those who find themselves in the midst of an illness or any type of trial.

August 27, 2017 at 4:22 amDear Barb, I loved seeing you in person in your video and hearing your voice! An incredible testimony, honest and real and telling of the faithfulness of the Lord. There are struggles , I know, but you do "bloom where you are" and impact other lives. Thank you for sharing the video - it will be an encouragement to everyone who watches it - maybe in each of those 64 (think that was the number you mentioned!) countries. Love you lots, and send hugs from my part of the world to yours. ❤️

August 28, 2017 at 10:44 pmLinda, my sweet friend, thank you, once again, for your words of encouragement. I'm so thankful that you got to see me "in person" and hear my voice! I was very nervous making this video, but very honored by the opportunity to share my story and especially God's faithfulness.
I think since the video was made there have been three more countries added! Praise God!
Thanks again for your uplifting words and for always being a blessing.
Love you and sending bunches of hugs your way ♡♡♡
