Our Presidents Weekend was spent traveling to a suburb of Philadelphia where my son participated in an ice hockey tournament. The entire family accompanied him and we got to experience the whole event for a few days including, taking over the hotel… (that's the lobby)
Playing lots of screens in down time.
And of course playing lots and lots of ice hockey!
They made it to the championship game and I was on the edge of my seat. I've mentioned I'm not an athlete myself and I'm still learning aspects of the game of hockey. But this weekend I realized I truly love this game and I am prouder than ever to call myself a hockey mom. The boys played their hearts out and most of them were so disappointed that they ultimately walked away with second place status in the tournament. They wanted to win!
It was great getting to know the other hockey families and though the season is ending I'm hoping to see a lot of the same faces on the team with him next season.
Now if I can only figure out how to tie these damn skates….!
then I will be a legit hockey mom :)

The Importance of Pointing Out Holes; Not Just Calling Them.
If you are riding in a group, whether in a race, a leisure ride or a club run, we all know that it is nearly impossible to see potholes, stones, broken glass, large puddles or other obstacles when you aren't at the front.
As cyclists like to keep each other safe clearly it is important that the riders at the front communicate these hazards to the riders behind them.
Traditionally these hazards were physically pointed out to riders behind, but in the last five to ten years it has become the fashion to shout 'HOLE LEFT', 'HOLE RIGHT' etc.… Read more

Tamil cinema trading off quality with quantity?
Haricharan Pudipeddi
[ Tue, Jun 11, 2013 ]
Chennai, June 11 (IANS) One hundred films in just five months is a number the Tamil industry could be proud of, but what dampens the filmmakers' spirit is that only five out of them were hits. The big question plaguing the industry is: Why isn't it able to generate content-rich films, let alone blockbusters?
One of the common reasons is the dependency on stars, feels Tamil filmmaker Seenu Ramaswamy.
"I agree these superstars give a Rs.100 crore business, but when their films fail at the box-office, a lot of money is going down the drain. Instead of investing so much in them, if producers choose to fund quality films made by newcomers, then the probability of success will be higher," Seenu told IANS.
While all big-budget films such as "Alex Pandian", "Kadal" and "Aadhi Bhagavan" failed to keep the cash registers ringing, the five that kept the business going at the box office included "Kanna Laddu Thinna Aasaiya" (KLTA), "Soodhu Kavvum" and "Ethir Neechal" by debutant directors.
The other two hits were "Vishwaroopam" and "Kedi Billa Killadi Ranga" (KBKR).
KLTA, reportedly made for Rs.3 crore, collected Rs.12 crore at the box office, while "Soodhu Kavvum" and "Ethir Neechal", both made under Rs.5 crore, collected Rs.8 crore and Rs.12 crore respectively.
"If a film made on Rs.5 crore can yield the same profit as a Rs.100 crore film, then I don't see the need to always dream of making a big budget film. Big actors should also be open to working with debutant directors, who guarantee success," said Seenu.
The actors may be hesitant in working with new talent, but the industry is more receptive to newcomers, admited producer C.V. Kumar who entered filmdom last year riding on a small budget out-of-the-box successful movie, "Attakathi".
"The Tamil industry has been open to fresh stories and young talent in the last two years. Even bigger production houses are coming forward to support new stories, but what we lack is content. While a legion of young filmmakers are on the rise, industry is still toying with the idea of making commercial film for the masses," said Kumar who also delivered two more hits - "Pizza" and "Soodhu Kavvum".
Even though films such as "Samar" and "Vathikuchi" had the spark, they failed to ignite the fire because they were made for commercial purposes.
It's very important to choose different subjects, Kumar added.
"All my films to date have been with aspiring filmmakers with promising and different stories. Since I can't cough up crores of rupees, I carefully choose subjects that I want to convert into films and invest in them," he said.
The genre of a film, too, is important, said KBKR director Pandiraj, who credited the success of his film to the subtle use of comedy.
"Audiences love to be entertained and, therefore, it makes sense to pack a good amount of comedy in the script. It is very important to use comedy to drive home a thought, instead of making slapstick references," Pandiraj added.
"Ethir Neechal", "Soodhu Kavvum", "KLTA" and "KBKR" all predominantly used comedy throughout the film.
The poor content is pushing audiences towards content-rich Hollywood films, said trade analyst Trinath. "Iron Man 3" and "Life of Pi" did amazing business here.
"There is no need to compare Tamil cinema with Hollywood, but with access to so many western and foreign films, audiences find it easy to discard regional films. With films such as the 'Iron Man' series and 'Avengers' doing well, it's important to make quality films," Trinath said.
He admited Hollywood is giving stiff competition to Tamil films at the box-office.
" 'Iron Man 3' raked in over Rs.1 crore on its opening weekend in Chennai, but a week later theatre owners had to reduce the number of shows because they had to make way for Tamil releases. Competition is growing stronger between Tamil and English films at the box-office," he added.

Every year since we began working together I have grown in a multitude of ways. At this point, I am happy to report that I am well on my way to attaining the things that I set out to do thanks in large part to her work and support.

This is the Lady Bulldogs' sixth postseason appearance as a team with their last appearance coming in the 2006 East Regional.
"I could not be more excited for these girls," third-year MSU coach Ginger Brown-Lemm said. "This team has worked unbelievably hard this season and deserves the opportunity to keep playing. The thing about postseason now is that everyone is even and it's like a new season. We have just as much of a shot at the national title as anyone else in the field."
The Central Regional will also host third-ranked and No. 1-seeded Duke along with SEC-foe No. 9 Florida. 13 of the 14 SEC schools earned a postseason bid.
MSU is just one week removed from tying a program-best fifth-place finish in the SEC Championships to continue what has been one of the most successful seasons in Maroon and White history. State set the single-season school stroke average record at 301.33, shattering the 2004-05 squad's 305.58, and notched the most birdies in a single season (299).
When Brown-Lemm took over the program prior to the 2010-11 campaign, she began a process to improve the golf program "2LU," or 2 Levels Up, each season.
"Returning to the postseason is just another step in our process of improving this program," she said. "Last year we sent an individual to the postseason and this year the team is going. We are just adding layers to the foundation of a solid program here at Mississippi State."
This is Brown-Lemm's first postseason appearance as a coach.
Standout sophomore No. 23 Ally McDonald appeared in the 2012 NCAA West Regional as an individual and finished tied for 49th. This season the Fulton native broke the individual stroke average record (72.70) previously held by Amanda Mathis at 74.20.
"Ally's experience will be key for us," Brown-Lemm said. "She is our leader and to already have postseason experience under her belt will give the whole team confidence going into the event."
Until then, fans can follow the women's golf program on Twitter, @mstateWG, and on Facebook at facebook.com/mstateWG.

Case Study A Motorbike Manufacturing Company offering its Services Online Harley Davidson Submitted To Mr. Farhan Azmat Mir Submitted By Najam us Saqib (BT – 02 – 01) Shoaib Javed (BT – 02 – 24) Ghazal Zaheer (BT – 02 – 44) Syed Ahtasham Panjtan Rizvi (BT – 02 – 47) BBA – IT (Hons.) 6th Semester 28th November, 2005 Institute of Management Sciences Bahauddin Zakariya University Multan Harley Davidson . The Two Wheeled Warriors HARLEY DAVIDSON The Two Wheeled warriors Company Profile Is there any another company in the world that works harder to build genuine relationships with their customers than the Harley-Davidson Motor Company? Harley-Davidson is an outstanding example of a company that has created loyalty through a pattern of steadfast interactions with its customers. How easy is it for your customers to interact with you? Could you reinvent the customer experience in ways that would strengthen the sense of affiliation that the customer has with the products and services of your company? Since going public in 1986, Harley has increased earnings at an average annual rate of 37 percent. Only one other company that went public that year, has done better. That other company is Microsoft. Without the shadow of any doubt, HARLEY DAVIDSON is a brand that has achieved cult status and outstanding financial performance. That's what makes the story of Harley- Davidson so interesting. We want to know how they got there. And the answer is not in one story but in three. Beginnings and Survival William Harley and Arthur Davidson, both in their early twenties, built their first motorcycle in 1903. During their first year, the company's entire output was only 1 motorbike; however, by 1910, the company had sold 3,200. Movies such as Easy Rider made Harleys a cultural icon and soon the company attracted people who loved its bad-boy mystique, powerfulness, rumbling voice, distinctive roar, and toughness. It sounded like nothing else on the road. In 1909, the company introduced its trademark bike; a 2 cylinder, v-twin engine (the fastest motorcycle at that time), able to reach speeds of 60 mph. However, a few years later the competition was becoming stiffer. During World War I, the demand for United States motorcycles overseas grew tremendously. As a result, Harley-Davidson became a leader in innovative engineering in the 1920's. With the introduction of the front brake and "teardrop" gas tanks, Harley was quickly developing its mystic appearance. 1917 brought World War I to the United States and Harley hardly skipped a beat. They sold twenty thousand motorcycles to the U. S. Army and emerged from the War even stronger. By 1920, the Depression hit everybody hard but it devastated motorcycle companies. By the end of it there were only two companies, Harley-Davidson and Indian, manufacturing motorcycles in the United States. At the bottom of the Depression only six thousand motorcycles were sold in one year in the entire United States. 1 Harley Davidson . The Two Wheeled Warriors But World War II [1939 - 1945] revitalized Harley's fortunes. The company sold almost 100,000 of their WLA model to the US military. After the war ended it took Harley just two and a half months to resume civilian production. That's the first story. As the post-War economic boom began Harley was in good shape. They'd grown up, survived the depression, and they were ready to grow even more. In 1947 Harley-Davidson introduced the classic black motorcycle jacket. It was the start of the Wild One Era and Harley's second story. The Wild One Era That same year a gang of motorcyclists rode into the town of Hollister, California and simply took it over. The police lost control and the motorcyclists ran amok. Even the law could not stop the two-wheeled warriors. In 1962, when Honda began importing its motorcycles into the United States, they took the position that motorcycles in general, and their smaller motorcycles in particular, were for nice people, not outlaws. They told their story in one of the most effective advertising campaigns of all time, "You meet the nicest people on a Honda." In 1969 a conglomerate named American Machine and Foundry (AMF) bought Harley. Those days, managers believed that they could manage any kind of company even without knowing much about the business. That's where third story begins. The Near Death Experience [ That changed Harley's Fate ] Things just seemed to keep getting worse. Competition was hurting sales and the Harley was in hands of immature management. Harley faced bad quality management. In 1981 thirteen senior executives of the Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Company signed a letter of intent to buy the company from AMF. Production quality started to improve and the company worked to improve profitability. The company then put in a restructured plan, incorporating management principles adopted from the Japanese, new marketing strategies, and manufacturing techniques. In 1983 Harley introduced the Harley Owners Group (HOG). In 1986 the company went public. In 1987, it made it to the New York Stock Exchange. In 2000, the company re- established its independence from AMF. Today, Harley has not only improved quality and won the long battle to regain its market share but has also achieved cult status with customers. Their customers simply think it is not only the greatest motorcycle in the World but the greatest vehicle. 2 Harley Davidson . The Two Wheeled Warriors The New Business Model Minutes away from bankruptcy in 1985, CEO Richard Teerlink convinced lenders to accept a restructuring plan, which incorporated management principles adopted from the Japanese, new marketing strategies, and manufacturing techniques. Transformation can be the only word to describe what this firm has gone through, not only to recover but to become a market leader. They had developed a huge transformation program for the organization, which affected everything in their current business. If we scan the list of companies that delivered the greatest returns on investment during the 1990s, we would discover Harley-Davidson. Only a few companies have been successful in inventing entirely new business models, or profoundly reinventing existing ones. Making it into E - Business As they say "Sky is the limit" while Richard"s plan was proving to be fruitful and had geared HD into the growth, management envisioned more. During mid "90s when internet was growing rapidly HD decided to grasp its pace. Getting into the E – Business, not only enhanced the marketing campaigns of the company but it also helped the company to refine its manufacturing process and gained company good will by fulfilling customers" warranty claims. Brick & Mortar to Click & Mortar The company initially developed a website for marketing its ultimate consumers [Beginning of the "Direct Marketing Era" in Harley-Davidson] but soon it got transformed into a full fledge online business conducting tool. Now, the company"s whole sole website is facilitating Business to Consumers and Business to Business operations of the company. All this helped cut down the operating cost significantly. Moreover, Harley-Davidson had a competitive edge over its rivals to be first to step into E-market and quickly roofed the niche. And all this contributed to pull through the leader position of Harley-Davidson in Bikes industry. To become the most successful Click-and-Mortar businesses, the company wants to leverage its brand and get more of the financial transactions form its clients. Harley Davidson adopts some E- business Practices that hit the sky. It has enabled purchase round the globe round the clock. It has come up with diverse features and services on its Website that aims to provide users with the necessary tools for efficient on-line purchase. Briefly, the objectives that management thought of, for getting into E –Business are: – Solving warranty claims problems – Employ Direct Marketing Strategy – Gathering 1300 dealers on a single platform [ B2B ] – Moving with time: Adopting new technologies [ Proactive EC ] – Customer Relationship Management 3 Harley Davidson . The Two Wheeled Warriors Business to Consumers As said in the first few lines of the pages, the company always wanted to owe its consumers. They always wanted riders feel like if they are completely themselves. Every Harley bike is extensively designed keeping in view the ideas, requirements and enthusiasm shown by the consumer that is the only reason that rarely we find any two Harleys alike. Having done a lot of fruitful efforts on Brand, company now aims at a strong culture - the deep roots of a binding force among Harley Davidson riders. Company is working on the shared culture among its consumers that grow into a family - the involvement that gives consumers a sense of pride and proximity. And website is the useful tool guiding them how to express their proximity. Customer Relationship Management Harley Davidson always wanted to have loyal customers. It wanted its customers to feel proud biking on a Harley two wheeled piece of art warrior. The company wanted to change the manner its products are configured, based on the individual needs of individual customers and that"s what CRM basically is. That's what fulfilled by the E – Business. It enabled the company to grasp the individuality of customer in much more easy and efficient manner. Tours & Rentals Harley Davidson is committed to provide its riders carry out their passion to ride on the specially designed heavy bikes. For this purpose, the company has facilitated its customers to have a different kind of Harley on rent and have a tour to the place where they can"t go on the ordinary bikes. This strategy works in two ways; keeping the sense of adventure alive and increasing the temptation for Harley Davidson and giving Harley Riders an opportunity to get closer to each other share experiences and thoughts. Riders Education The Harley site has a lot for their visitor. "Traffic is not getting any smarter… so the riders have be…" says the company"s official.

Comparison can be made for many variables (e.g. pricing, engine power, road grip, comfort, accessories offered etc.). Make a final choice and proceed with it. Customize When you have chosen a bike, you can customize it. Just like people enjoy customizing their cars, people enjoy customizing their Harley-Davidson motorcycles. The customizations can be simple, like putting on a different exhaust system, or they can be radical, like putting on chopper- style forks which further enhances the Harley experience. The supply of parts for customization is called the Aftermarket. There are thousands of companies producing aftermarket Harley-Davidson parts. Over time, the Harley aftermarket has grown. Harley-Davidson has helped customers reach the aftermarket by listing down the products/parts available accompanying a picture and a price tag. The online Shopping!

The Two Wheeled Warriors Purchasing Accessories Online (Process Flow) Email to notify order delivery Product Info. & Credit Card Info Order forwarded Customer Website Dealer Email for Order Received Notification Product Conclusion We find Harley a classic success story that captured the markets by the virtue of E – Business. But what makes HD case special is that the company was struggling for recovery from its bad era and E-business shored them up. HD management has shown a great deal of determination to let the company hit the sky right from the bottom line. While we can"t neglect that E-business was just one dimension of Richard"s RECONSTRUCTION PLAN (1985), it is interesting to find that although plan worked well right from the implementation and business started growing on financial charts in the first decade (1985 – 1995) but that the real pace was gained during the second decade (1995 – 2005) when the company moved to E – Business. So, we can see how E – commerce infuses the speed of internet into a business. 10

Are you ready to open the door of faith and unleash unlimited power in your life for 2015?
I will not pretend to know what's in store for you—or even for me—in this sparkling third day of a brand new year. But one thing I know for certain. God has a great purpose for your life and for your accomplishments in the days ahead.
It's natural to be apprehensive about the unknown. Will we have to cope with illness? Unemployment? A housing crisis? A financial crisis? Some unseen peril? Will there be life's normal obstacles and barriers or a new set of them? Of course the answer to that question is: yes, there will be both. But what if we won't know when to expect them? Will there be unfamiliar situations? Unknown enemies?
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.–Ephesians 3:20—NIV
The wonderful thing about reminiscing is that I marvel at wonders I've seen God perform in the lives of others. Like the remarkable, talented teen invited to the first church my husband served as pastor in Hendersonville, TN. She dramatized James Weldon Johnson's "God's Trombones." Today she is known by just one name—Oprah.
God has a dream for you.
In Your name I rejoice all day long, and in Your righteousness I am exalted. For You are the glory of my strength, and in Your favor my horn is exalted.
–Psalm 89:16-17
Here's a parenting or mentoring assignment. For parents or mentors of young people of all ages–but particularly pre-teens, teens and college students, please give your young charges a late summer assignment.
(This is a Guest Post by Nikolas Baron)
Writing can turn into one of those clunkers. You pay to publish your book, yet never see enough sales. You hire an agent, but it just doesn't pan out. You pay for conferences, entry fees for contests, and pay application fees for writing awards or grants, yet never manage to win. However, there is hope for writers out there who have vowed they've spent their last penny on any writing-related activities. There are hundreds of free online writing tools to help you save money as a writer. Especially if you're freelancing or starting out, these tools will help you stay organized, save on typical costs associated with writing, proofreading and organization.
1) Evernote: Ok, let's get started. We're going to write a book, cheaply.
It's that time. Once again. (Wait, no, I'm not complaining. I'm really, really glad to be present, alive!)
The last vestiges of 2013 have washed away. Each new wave. Each surge of the tide. Each twist, turn and bend in the road ahead may be somewhat of a mystery, but it is God's gift to us … to see a fresh path and to receive where it leads us.
Last year was great. So many wonderful things happened. New projects were born. Yet, ahead is a brand new year, full of opportunities. Stretching out before us, like the winding yellow brick road of Oz, is the wonderful miracle of 2014.
This could be your year. The year that is full of untold potential. The year when all access is cleared and any obstacles that have blocked your progress are moved out of the way.
I was surprised to learn that Sheryl Sandberg is "Leaning In" to the women of China and they are hearing her message. According to The Wall Street Journal, Sandberg, Chief Operating Officer of Facebook and author of "Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead," gave a speech last fall in Beijing. She was there to promote the Chinese translation of her book, which has been selling briskly in China and is particularly appealing to the still minute numbers of Chinese businesswomen.
If we are to heed the voices of those who have been world changers in the past, I feel it is critical to do these things in 2014:
1. Transform lives. Make your ideas work for others. Like Sheryl Sandberg, don't be reticent about sharing what you have discovered.
2. Disconnect from the grid of being ordinary and of repeating the same old thing. Go deep, be strong, do something different.
3. Love what you do. In fact, love your life and what you give way, way more than you ever have in the past. Start from where you are and build upon what matters most to you—your school, your team, your business, your friends, your family, your church, your community.
4. Be fearless. Approach this new year, rich with things you have never seen, sprinkled with places you have never visited, and filled with tasks you never dreamed you could accomplish.
No matter what promises this year holds, know that possibilities are a part of it.
Vision is just the shape your dreams take in those moments before your faith kicks in. Vision is how you describe the future just before you're ready to move ahead with real conviction. And it's okay if you approach 2014 one vision at a time
You be the solution to a problem the world has. You be that one with the key. You be the agent of change. Inspire trust and hope in others, then help pass it on. You be the visionary, the achiever.
"May we never tire of doing what is good and right before the Lord
because in His season we shall bring in a great harvest
if we can just persist."
—Galatians 6:9 The Voice
This is your season for doing great things for God. Harvest is a time for reaping the results of fertile growth. If we refuse to get weary or discouraged, we are recipients of the promise of a rich harvest. That yield grows up from seeds of persistence and motivation you've sown.
Paul wrote these words of encouragement for us today, not just in a letter to the church at Galatia nearly 2,000 years ago. First, he had a warning. Watch out! Beware of the twin enemies of fatigue and exhaustion. Don't get tired of doing good. Refuse to let low energy and lethargy to get in your way.
This morning, I woke up texting a loved one who was flying home from a business trip and a travel day that began at dawn. You know what that's like. The alarm sounds at 4:00 a.m. and the journey to the airport takes place before the sun comes up. Long travel days require a buoyancy that normal workdays do not. We make those sacrifices in our personal or professional lives because we have a goal in mind—like launching a planned family vacation or attending a business conference.
Doing God's work takes the same verve. I believe that the French call this kind of exuberance joie de vivre.
The "great harvest" God has for us is only visible according to His timetable. Whether that's now or later doesn't matter to me. God takes care of the "when." It's doing the work that counts.
This is your hour, your moment. God chose you for a special task. Your work is calling you! Someone is waiting for your touch, your action, your reach, your smile, your word. Your hand on their shoulder. Your cup of cold water on their lips.
Paul's letter to the church in Rome has an important message about how life works.
"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."
—Romans 8:28
I'm not a good juggler. Are you? At the moment, I have so many possibilities in the air that some threaten to crash down, hitting me squarely on the head. I'm juggling a maddening whirl of exciting opportunities. Work projects, looming writing deadlines, and a few self-imposed (should I say, self-inflicted?) prospects.
All the while, I'm comforted by Paul's assertion about "all things." Vision and reasoning point me to the opposite conclusion, but I see God's Divine plan in my chaos.
Whenever I ask myself if it takes all this to get to success, I hear a sage voice which once said, no circumstances "are so great that they cannot be built into the very steps of the staircase by which souls mount up to heaven." Sounds good. Lead me to the staircase.
All things; that means everything is good. This heavenly math equation assures us that no evil has final power. God's work in our lives results in only one possible outcome—what's best for you. The only condition is your affection; as long as you love and trust, you come confidently to "all things."
And so, if you are having one of those David vs. Goliath moments—facing giants and feeling over-matched by the sheer pressure of all you have to do, or if an unexpected circumstance has just caught you off-guard—remember this. He is moving you into your "all things" position and weaving every element together in your life.
Have you heard about autonomous drive? Nissan announced that, by 2020, they will pioneer the self-driven car. Working with global experts at top universities, the Nissan 360 program will introduce a car that steers, brakes and accelerates without any help from you.
God can do that right now. Get in the back seat; let Him drive. If you love Him, you're in a splendid position.
How many fears should you have? I believe the number should be zero.
According to WebMD, 19 million people in America experience phobias. A phobia is an intense, prevailing, irrational fear that leaves you powerless over your reactions. These extreme, life-altering feelings of anxiety aren't diminished by telling yourself your fears simply don't make sense. If all 19 million have two fears, the total number of fears is close to 40 million. That's a long way from zero.
"I will not fear though tens of thousands assail me on every side."—Psalm 3:6, NIV
One fear many experience is aerophobia, fear of flying. It can be triggered by real experiences, like severe turbulence, or imagined ones. Earlier this summer I needed to travel from Nashville to Memphis for a conference and hated the thought of a 3-hour drive. Then, I discovered SeaPort Airlines.
I've been on jumbo jets but never anything as small as their fleet. Yet, it was a wonderful hassle-free experience that made my journey fantastic. Small plane, yes. Could I have reached out and tapped the pilot on the shoulder, sure. Boarding at the private airport in Memphis, a German traveler got on with a 2-liter Dr. Pepper. That's how different it was. If there was ever a smidgeon of fear of flying small aircraft, it's gone now.
There is a natural purpose for fear when it protects us from danger. The problem today is that people exist in perpetual fear; that's not how God intended us to live.
When we are fearful, where is our confidence in God? Trusting Him involves refusing to let fear impact how we respond to people or situations. God demands complete trust and dependence.
There are 336 references to the word "fear" in the New International Version of the Bible, including stories of Biblical heroes melting in fear in the face of their enemies. Not so with David as he fled from his son, Absalom. David commences Psalm 3 counting his enemies, but he concludes, in verse 8, by affirming, "Real help comes from God." (Message Bible)
I want you to know today—I am praying for your healing and health. I proclaim the power of God's Word and promises over you, even if I don't know you by name…God does.
Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
—Proverbs 30:5 NIV
I don't claim to understand why some are healed and some are not; what I know for sure is that God wants us to trust Him for healing. If I'm wrong about that, nothing else in the Word makes sense—but since I know I'm right, everything makes sense. As a believer completely healed of Stage 4 Non-Hodgkins lymphoma, I know that God still does the hard stuff.
He wants us healed and understands our interest in our healing not taking forever.
Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.—Proverbs 13:12 NIV
The enemy's words are always the opposite of what God says. And the enemy uses fear to block our healing and our blessings. Be assured today that things are happening in the spiritual realm that we cannot see or measure. Consider, for example, what happened after Daniel prayed (Daniel 6). In the lion's den, lions acted like lambs. An angel of God gave them lockjaw—(look that up; it's a real pathological ailment.)
I'm confident that everything God promised, everything He has ever said to me will be given to me. I believe I will accomplish everything the Lord said about me. I believe I possess all that the Lord said that I have. This is the level of faith I claim for you. Be confident; your deliverance is on the way!
Moses answered the people, "Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today…"—Exodus 14:13a, NIV
Reach up your right hand, at this very moment; allow God to take hold of you. This gesture is not about you holding God's hand…for you might let Him go…but He will never let go of your hand.
For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand
and says to you, "Do not fear; I will help you."—Isaiah 41:13 NIV
So don't be afraid. You are worth more than many sparrows, and sparrows, as small as they are, fear absolutely nothing. (Matthew 10:31 NIV)
