I’m sharing a portion of my ongoing personal testimony instead of my regular weekly post.  I hope you are blessed by it. I was born into a traditional Anglican (Episcopal) family, where I was the “baby.”  My sister and brother were both in their teen years when I was born.  My parents thought they were done with the child raising stage of their lives, but God had other plans for them.  I’ve never had any reason to feel unwanted or…..

And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.  Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains.

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
