"Consider it a great joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you experience various trials, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance." James 1:2-3
Mary LaFrance is a close friend and one of many prayer warriors standing with BW and our family at this time. She emailed this encouragement on October 14, 2021:
"When the stillness of the night seems too silent and the darkness lasts too long to suit your heart...Jesus is right there.
"Even when daylight comes again, and yet everything around seems to remain the same without much change...Jesus is there.
"Remain steadfast and in hope, because you have the genuine hope that the hopeless world cannot understand... The greatest hope above all else in Jesus Christ.
"As the wiles of the devil try to stir your thoughts and make you feel uneasy, rest at ease in the arms of our Good Father because He loves you more than you'll ever know here on earth.
"Let the quietness of your spirit calm any storms that are raging inside. You are covered by the blanket of Jesus' grace, tender mercies and unfailing love.
"So let today be a day where you sing songs of praise for every blessing, big and small. It's during the hard times that our songs are sometimes sweeter to our Father's ears.
"Know this much for sure: as the dawn awakens , and as the sunset falls, someone, somewhere is praying for you. And that someone is me." Mary LaFrance, October 14, 2021
God, you are good because you send your prayer warriors day and night with just the right words of comfort and encouragement. Bless Mary for her surrendered heart.

I am humbled by you honoring your story as you have posted the encouraging message I tried to bring to your heart on October 16, 2021. All I remember is that I felt desperate to find the words, the right words to express what the Holy Spirit was laying on me. Every vowel and consonant in that written message came from above and so all of the glory goes back to the One who sits on the highest throne of Heaven.
Thank you for keeping the writing going on through the waves and shadows of your journey.
Be blessed dear friend...be blessed.
Mary LaFrance
Your message was so thoughtful and needed in that moment. We're blessed to have the prayer warrior that you are. Thank you for using the voice God gave you to share Him through difficult times.
Blessings,
Nancy
