I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.
Hey guys, can you just take a minute and pray for this beautiful girl.
This is Chloe, she’s an 18 year old cheerleader from Orlando on the losing end of a battle with stage 4 brain Cancer. She was diagnosed at the beginning of last school year; her senior year. We both had a leadership class together almost two years ago (when I was a senior and she was a junior)
and I can say she is one of the sweetest girls you could ever meet. Towards the end of her senior year they thought she was getting better, but just a couple of weeks ago things took a turn for the worse and now she’s at home on hospice.So I ask all of you praying people to Pray for Chloe. Pray that God would do a miraculous healing, and pray that God would take what the enemy meant for harm, and turn it into good.
And reblog the snot out of this, and prayer more, because I know when she recovers she will have one heck of a testimony.

“Loves Like a Hurricane” by Gene Krcelic (via consurgo)Sometimes God raps gently at the door, but we don’t know it’s Him, so we ignore the disturbance. He whispers through the door, but His words fall on deaf ears.
A little later, He knocks again, a little louder.
“Go away— I’m busy,” we can be heard saying as we tend to our usual routine.
The knocks keep coming, but the door is never opened. His voice grows louder, but we run from the message.
He beats on the door even harder and more frequently. His presence is known, but we still turn our heads and ignore Him standing in the portal to our room. “Not now— I have other things and more important to tend to. Stop bothering me.”
God doesn’t leave, He is still watching, caring, loving. He doesn’t intrude because He knows it’s not time. The whole while, He wants to make sure we know He is there, but gives us time to recognize Him and realize that the knock is real and He is there… Waiting. He knows timing is everything.
The knocks increase and are not only known— they are felt, but still, we turn away.Then, there is silence.
“Where did He go?” We wonder.
All is still.
Finally as sure as the candle lights the dark, the door is kicked open and there is no running from His presence, His power, His grace. He grabs our heart and fills it with His love for us, igniting the fire in our souls that can never be extinguished. We become one with God.
God knows when we are ready.
Timing is everything.
