Mary 2, 2003
My Dear Friend,
I have been thinking so much about you and worrying about the SARS virus being in China. We are praying for your safety.
The spiritual atmosphere is so severe and heavy right now. When I pray I feel as if I am carrying many burdens inside. But God is our Sanctuary.
My family is well but as usual needs lots of prayer.
When you think of us, pray that we will be able to hear his voice
and follow Him.
In two weeks I am going to teach a women's group on INTIMACY WITH GOD.
We will go to a place where we can spend one night away from our
families to have extra time with Him. However, many of the women coming
are not following the Lord.
Whenever I am going to teach like this I go through much warfare before.
I feel very upset and sick in my stomach. I also have to travel to the East Coast in North Carolina to visit my father. He is old and ill and might die before I could visit him again.
When I talk of the Lord to him he gets very angry. I am nervous about
traveling alone for so far and about seeing my father. I think I am
having trouble with fear. Please pray for me. I don't like feeling this
way and I don't want to be afraid to be with my father.
Write me and tell me if you are well.
All my love,
Mary
