I’ve been praying for each of you that posted concerns last week in this post. I’ve also got two winners to announce, but first I have a special friend I want you to meet. A friend who has needed and experienced God’s care in ways most of us cannot imagine. Her story will truly change your life and perspective forever!
Abby Rike is full of joy and an abiding trust in Jesus that is contagious. Perhaps you remember Abby from The Biggest Loser, season 8. Although she lost 100 pounds, she gained the world’s attention and heart through her tragic story and amazing faith. Abby has lived through what most of us fear most. But Abby has an Anchor of Hope and He is her confidence and trust. Today, I want you to hear Abby’s story. Just click the arrow below and let Abby tell you through her recent interview on NBC’s Today Show: (If you’re reading via email, please click on the title of this post to watch the video on my website.)

Estic totalment d'acord amb les dificultats relacionades amb la lògica del mà rqueting. Jo, però, estan lluitant amb la sull'Xcode primers passos amb la clara intenció d'escriure la meva pròpia aplicació potser més adequat per Les xarxes empresarials. (També tracte que em pot ajudar a obtenir el certificat de "dreta" …) Espero risentissi! bona sort!

Besides writing just Godly life changing information I forgot to say thanks for praying me. That is one of the greatest gift a person can do for another. God bless you. I do hope I’ll be able to win your book or any of your resources but if not I’ll have to find a way to get it. Being a Senior on a limited income puts you at a disadvantage. I just wish I had found you guys when I was younger so I could have changed the direction of my life earlier. Sharon
Again, I just can’t say thank-you enough for writing these books and devotions. Your not only encouraging but offering hope to us. I too hope someday I’ll get to come to a conference. I hope you’ll plan one close to Branson, MO. I just get so overwhelmed by all the information. Usually I go on overload and then know I can’t keep up and quit, I so want to get better so please pray that I can absorb all these great works of yours and know how to appy it to my life. I never met you but I feel like we’re a kinder spirt that God has brought across my path. Love you and just don’t give up. You have so much wonderful stuff to share and change lives. Love you. Sharon
