That is a powerful promise for every believer in Jesus Christ! No matter what you are going through right now, God is working it out for your good! That is eternally encouraging!
The above photo reminds me of God’s goodness! I took that photo on our vacation to San Diego this summer back in June. At one point during my suffering with Celiac I thought I was going to die. The doctors said what I suffered was very similar to cancer suffering. I can relate to Hezekiah (Isaiah 38) because that is exactly what I felt like! I was laid out in the dust of the earth and I was done! I could not imagine ever going on vacation or doing anything ever again. I was making preparations to go home with Jesus!

I had no idea what God had in store for me and my family! After over 6 years of suffering where I was pretty much home bound, it was amazing to be able to get on a plane again and fly to California! I felt so free! I love Cali and San Diego was beautiful! The people were super cool too! The Lord even used me to minister to some guys from Mexico who came to the rental house to help with the pool. I shared Christ with them and gave them each a paperback version of my book with a little note I wrote to each one of them. I was able to hold hands with them and pray with them, and the one guy got so excited that he was jumping up and down and waving his arms around praising the Lord! It was awesome! You know me, vacation or not, I’m going to preach and help people! All glory to Jesus! It is awesome to watch Him work!
It was a great vacation and the Lord proved to me that He is not done with me yet! He continues to show me that every day too! He is working out this Celiac Disease for good! I know I can trust in Jesus and so can you! He has it all!
If you don’t know the Lord, then today is a good day to know Him! Come to Jesus today, receive His love, and let Him work out all things in your life for good!
Grace and peace to you all!
I was so grateful to God that you were finally feeling good enough that you could take yourself and family on this long-deserved vacation!! I was so excited for you guys! And, to think you were blessed go in the spring and summer. I don’t know how many times I prayed to thank Him. And, I thank Jesus for being with you in writing your blog, and blessing it!
Love you, Ryan
