The Story of His Glory ~ Baby Care Love

That he would feast on the abundance of your house;
as You give him drink from your river of delights.

Psalm 36:8

Of course he chose french fries
for his date night treat!

This has been my prayer for this sweet soulmate of mine. And, with these simple words from his heart ... "Today I felt life in my Spirit" ... hope is restored. Whether it's a mere streak of color on the dark canvas of his soul or a bright burst of light illuminating the place of intimacy with his Father God ... these powerful words have spoken light into the darkness and have brought the joyful, confident, expectation that Father is restoring the ground the enemy has tried to steal. Your prayers on Daryl's behalf have not gone unnoticed. In his goodness, Father is restoring, redeeming and remaking ... Poco a poco, dia a dia (little by little, day by day) ... The story of His glory!

Don't you just love 'hindsight'? You know, that 'a-ha' moment when you realize something and all of a sudden you remember back to when you thought a situation should go a certain way and God said ... "Nah, I have something better in mind for that!"

Summer of 2016 we were speaking at churches to gain financial and prayer support for life in CR. We were disappointed to hear this particular church we were speaking at was not going to give any financial support. We came away from that time wondering and asking "Why God, why did you lead us there with nothing to show for it?" Quite honestly, it felt like a waste our resources, energy and time. You know, that ugly self righteous mindset just marched right over anything the Holy Spirit had to say to us! Fast forward 15 months ... The start of Vida220 and who should we meet? A beautiful young woman of God who just happened to hear about VidaNet and it's Vida220 program on July 31, 2016 when we came to speak at her church ... You know, that church where we felt was a waste of our time? ... The story of His glory!

Life is birthed ... She was our purpose ... His ways are higher than ours
