In the Strength You Have
Judges 6:14: “The LORD turned to him and said, ‘Go in the strength you have and save Israel out of Midian’s hand. Am I not sending you?’”
I froze when I went up north for a week. On the flight home, my right ear made crackling sounds three times. I got sick and lost my voice.
For several days I prayed God would heal me. I reminded him about my speaking engagements the following week. I would need a voice.
Then I read this passage from the Bible. I sensed God say, “Go in the strength you have, Yvonne. Am I not sending you?”
In faith, I packed my suitcase and practiced my presentation silently. My voice finally returned.
We all face challenges and disappointments. However, God still wants us to accomplish his mission for us on earth.
God doesn’t expect us to work miracles. That’s his job. He simply tells us to go in the strength we have. He sends us, and he will do the rest.
Dear God, help me go in the strength I have. Amen.

Let's face it, life can be difficult with health issues, financial burdens, and challenging people at work, home, and in the community. My desire is to give you the tools to experience God as your BFF, your Provider, your Advocate, and your Help-mate.
God has chosen you to love and be loved.
I believe that God allowed every struggle in my life to better relate to you. I'm here to help you through your pain. Although my struggles might be different from yours, I know struggles.
By the age of twenty I lived with three different men looking for love and acceptance. I secretly married the man of my aborted baby out of obligation and with the idea that if it didn't work we could divorce and no one would know it.
I'm here to tell you that only by God's grace did my husband and I survive a marriage based on the wrong foundation of a student-teacher relationship, sexual immorality and secrets.
We experienced a miracle!
Struggling with no income for a year, a son who battled a rare form of leukemia, moving to a new country, and raising four teenagers, we can testify to God's faithfulness.
Do you know God? Hope is available to you for whatever you face today. Will you trust Him? Look over my site and email me your prayer requests or any questions you may have. I'm here to help you.
