Blessings John & Doves,

I love you all and I just wanted to let you know that even though I haven’t written in a while; I do read your letters every day and I keep you all in my prayers – and, especially each prayer request.  I’m writing today to share with you a link to a sermon-- in both written and audio format that I think might be helpful in these stressful times.   http://www.raystedman.org/thematic-studies/new-covenant/how-to-kill-a-lion-on-a-snowy-day

One night last week, I started coming down with a terrible sore throat and couldn’t sleep, so I picked up one of my older bibles and I found a note on the back binder page scribbled in my own handwriting – he killed a lion in a pit on a snowy day.

I knew it was taken from a scripture that I had studied in a Sunday school class years ago and when I opened up the bible to search for it, I landed right on it.  It was high-lighted with a yellow marker and popped right out. The presence of the Lord was definitely with me and I knew that He wanted to give me a message – so I googled the scripture to see if I could find a Bible study that could break it down for me to better understand what He wanted me to know.  I’m so glad I did.

**Randy, and Carol S., my heart goes out to you both and the health issues of your friends, maybe you could pass this message on to them and the books Rene recommended.  We will keep them and their families in our prayers during this difficult time.

**Mariel Rowina, God has placed you on my heart and I look so forward to the day when the Trumpet sounds and your suffering will be gone forever!!!  I know you have trouble reading on your computer – this message has an audio option available.  I hope that helps.

**Thank you John Tng – May the Lord continue to bless and keep you as you continue to do His serviceJ.

Can’t wait to meet you ALL in Heaven one day!!  I hope this message blesses you as much as it blessed me.

Love in Christ,

Leah
