CHRISTIAN LOVE STORIES
"When I found the one I love, I held him and would not let him go" (Song of Solomon 3:4). My name is Kristy Dykes, and I write Christian love stories for Barbour Publishing...perhaps because I live with a hero husband. At this site, I cover marriage, romance, and Christian fiction. These book titles make me smile--and offer great truths: Sometimes I Wake Up Grumpy and Sometimes I Let Him Sleep, Love Extravagantly, Every Marriage Is A Fixer-Upper, Red-Hot Monogamy.

Dear Milton ~ This is for you. I have been praying for you as well as Kristy. You have a heavy burden that you are carrying with grace and love. My small, but devoted, prayer chain is praying for Kristy tomorrow. We all expect a positive outcome and plan on a miracle. I know one of our members plans to put it on her blog. I hope she shares that with you.
In His Love and mine, Bonnie

Kristy:
We are praying for you. May you feel the peace that passes all understanding tomorrow. I know that the Lord will be with you and will give you strength each and every day as you walk thru these unknown valley's. God is your source and He is all you need. Draw from Him. We love you!

Our prayers are with you each and everyday, for the positive results from prayer can bring forth awesome happenings; and we also know how all things are truly possible through God as Pastor Milton preached in his sermon this morning. May He{Almighty God}, Precious Jesus, and the hosts of angels be with you as the treatments begin and keep seeds of hope and promise in your hearts, minds, and souls; always.
Dear Kristy and Milton,
I put you and your family on our church prayer list a few weeks ago. Imagine my surprise when our pastor of 20 years, Gregg Headley, began to send me a couple of email updates about you. It would seem that the Headleys and the Dykes are long time friends, unbeknown to Barry and myself, who have been long time friends of Terry and Sandra.
We love your blog. We are folowing and praying.
We will be praying at 2:30 Dallas time for your miracle on Monday!
Blessings!
Marlyse & Barry Gordon
