We got some great news on my daughter. The doctors are now thinking she just has eczema and not scleroderma or any other autoimmune problem other than Raynaud’s phenomenon! We don’t know if God healed her (her symptoms were very bad at the initial diagnosis) or if she was just diagnosed wrong in the beginning, but we are praising God for this answer to prayer!

103339: Fireproof, Special Collector"s Edition DVDLast week we made a special trip into town to purchase the Fireproof DVD on the day it came out. We have been anticipating it for months, ever since we saw it in theaters. Back in the fall, my sweetheart had taken me to see it as a surprise, and I took my girls, my parents, and my parents’ neighbor a few days later. We were just blown away by the movie. It contains something for the whole family: action, romance, and comedy. It encouraged me greatly to see the Gospel of Jesus Christ presently so clearly on the “big screen.” We have watched it numerous times since purchasing the DVD.

Since watching the Left Behind series, my girls have been big “fans” of Kirk Cameron, who starred in Fireproof. They have loved the stories I’ve told them of how extremely popular Kirk was when I was a teen girl. My daughters are amazed at how God worked in his life and saved him. It still amazes me. I recently read Kirk’s autobiography Still Growing. I cannot tell you how much his testimony encourages me in my walk with the Lord. My middle daughter got to it and read it before I could.:) Now, my oldest is reading it, sometimes aloud to her baby sister.

Here is the official Fireproof trailer.

Although I don’t normally listen to this style of music, this song has greatly encouraged all of us. It is called “While I’m Waiting” and was featured in Fireproof. I’ve done a great deal of waiting on the Lord in my life. He has always been working behind the scenes, as I was waiting. He does that for all of His children, no matter if we can see Him working or not. We can trust that He is getting everything lined in place for His perfect timing.

We loved the Fireproof in 60 video on the Fireproof website and also on the DVD. You can view it on the website; it is the second video. Hilarious!

We have seen all the movies made by Sherwood Baptist Church. We pray for God’s continued outpouring of blessings and protection on this humble church, who just want to honor God.
