The Body of Christ just amazes me. I just finished praying (via gotomeeting) with several other women that I don't even know personally but through the online world and I am so encouraged. They have been meeting together on Monday and Thursday evenings to pray for Joanne Heim. Joanne is a 38-year-old Jesus-loving woman who suffered a massive stroke on January 11. Her husband, Toben, has been updating her blog and his twitter. Joanne and Toben have two young girls: Audrey is 12 and Emma is 9. Joanne has been homeschooling them so they just started back into a private school yesterday.
I have never met Joanne. I never even read her blog until I started seeing news about a fellow "Siesta". The time of prayer tonight over Joanne and the Heim family was such an encouragement to me. Sisters in Christ, coming together and praying for a fellow Sister in Christ. It's beautiful. That's it. Just beautiful.
"For where two or three are gathered in my name, there I am among them."
Matthew 18:20

Ashley - I was also blessed on Monday evening as we prayed together for Joanne. I saw your most recent comment on Joanne's website (Toben's blog) and knew it was you because of the book you mentioned - Sun Stand Still. I've not heard of the book before, but now plan to purchase and read it. Thank you for mentioning it and for praying BIG. You are a beautiful young lady and I'm pleased to have "met" you. I will, as you requested on your blog, pray for your son. How wonderful that he has asked Christ to be his Savior. Blessings to you and your entire family. Paige Szajnuk
