Promises and Blessings

Today we had an amazing service at church.  Ken came down to the alter so I could pray healing over him.  Before hand I was praying (and crying) and asking God, "whatever I need to do for his (ken) healing, I will, I feel like I'm begging, the same words over and over, and quite frankly, I'm tired of begging." 

A good friend/woman of God came to me and said that God laid Isaiah 54 on her heart and that it was for us (Ken and I). 

The part of Isaiah 54 that REALLY touched me reads:

Sing, O childless woman, you who have never given birth!
Break into loud and joyful song, O Jerusalem, you who have never been in labor.
For the desolate woman now has more children than the woman who lives with her husband, says the Lord.
Enlarge your house; build an addition.
Spread out your home, and spare no expense!
For you will soon be bursting at the seams
Your descendants will occupy other nations and resettle the ruined cities.

... For a brief moment I abandoned you, but with great compassion, I will take you back.
In a burst of anger I turned my face away for a little while.
But with everlasting love I will have compassion on you," says the Lord, your Redeemer.

"Just as I swore in the time of Noah that I would never again let a flood cover the earth,
So now I swear that I will never again be angry and punish you.
For the mountains may move and the hills disappear,
but even then my faithful love for you will remain. 
My covenant of blessing will never be broken," says the Lord, who has mercy on you.

YES GOD!!!!!
