This week I have really been drawn to worship music. My heart has been heavy with so many family and friends hurting. I want to help each of them. I know I cannot be with each of them, but I can pray for them. Prayer has played a major role in my life. I truly believe I would not be here today, if not for the prayers of many. Prayer has never been a second option for me. Prayer has always been my first option. Today I lift up all who are dealing with health issues, mental health issues, relationship issues, addiction issues, financial issues, employment issues, & housing issues. I pray for those who don’t feel good enough. You are! I pray for those who feel alone. Your not! I pray for those who feel defeated. Your not! I pray for those who feel like giving up. Please don’t! If you ever need to talk, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I am here to listen. I pray your day is filled with beautiful moments. You are loved. ~OC

A Gift
Today’s a new day! Life is a wonderful precious gift. Take time today to share a kind word. Tell your loved ones how much they mean to you. Do something to help someone else. Be active in making a real difference. Take time to examine your own life. It’s real easy to get caught up in the day to day happenings of life and forget what’s really important. ~OC
My Future
Good morning! Based on my current health status, several people have asked if Laura and I will be doing any speaking engagements or book tours? At this time, I am still planning on speaking if the opportunities present themselves and doing any book related activities. I am not going to allow my current health status stop me from living life and making memories. So, if you or anyone you know is interested in hearing more about my journey, feel free to contact me. I pray everyone has a beautiful and blessed day. ~OC

My Weakness. His Strength
Today’s a new day! My weakness makes room for God’s strength. And in times that are tiring and uncertain, when I feel I have nothing left in the tank, He shows up and reminds me that there is indeed nothing I can do… and He offers me His strength… because it is more than enough to carry this weight. ~OC
God’s Promise
Today’s a new day! God has promised to look after me…. to bring help. God, who defends me, who is far greater in strength than my health issues or anything life throws at me. God, who spoke and whose words caused the universe to be. His words are true, unfailing. If He promises something, He will deliver. ~OC
