WE LOVE YOU CRYSTAL

I know you all got to hear from Crystal first hand today and as I just read her post (I had to reluctantly leave her before she finished) I noticed she left out a lot of details...it has been a discouraging day for her, the medical details are not always important as sometimes they can be a distraction, and what is important is that we focus on Rick and Crystal and not the physicians, for they are not God and God has all the details covered anyways (but it is important that we do cover the medical team in prayer for wisdom and compassion). So please as we continue to pray for Rick's total healing let's pray for precious Crystal in that the Lord will give her His strength to press on, His peace that passes all understanding and that He will continue to send angels (like the one she mentioned) to minister and meet her needs when needed...if you have a moment please take the time to read Crystal's mama's comment under "Healing takes time"...Hope...let's all pray that as the family rests tonight that they awaken feeling refreshed and full of hope...

Crystal, you are amazing, always so full of life...love and laughter...the Joy of the Lord is your strength and He is your strong tower, your very present help in time of need.. Please know how loved you and your family are and while walking through this valley you are not alone but being carried, lifted up in prayer by those you know and many you don't but they love you with the love of the Lord.

Like we discussed today, "God doesn't bring you to something to get you through it, but to LIVE in you through it." It is very obvious being around you and your family today that you are blessed to be a blessing in that you are reaching out to others and loving them through their own pain as well... Sweet dreams dear friend.
