I also wanted to share another beautiful praise report with you all… actress and singer Jillian Cardarelli recently shared on Instagram that, after surgery and 19 rounds of radiation, she is cancer-free and praising God! What an incredible answer to prayer and such a wonderful reminder of God’s goodness and faithfulness!.
Jillian shared these touching words: “One minute at a time, trusting God with everything that comes next!” Isn’t that just beautiful? I just had to share this encouraging news with all of you!
You can see Jillian Cardarelli in both the first and upcoming second season of Crossroad Springs. And if you’ve heard her sing, you know she truly has the voice of an angel! You can hear her beautiful voice in Season 1, Episode 10, which will encore Saturday afternoon. (See the schedule above.)
Jillian’s journey toward healing is still continuing, as she will need to undergo endocrine therapy, so please continue to keep her in your thoughts and prayers. Let’s keep praying for complete healing, strength, and peace!
Blessings on your Weekend,
Net

SHINING HIS LIGHT:
“From his fullness we have all received,
grace upon grace.”
~John 1:16
As August draws to a close this weekend, this verse is a beautiful reminder that God’s grace has been with us through every moment. We may not know exactly what the days ahead will bring, but we can trust that His grace will meet us there! May we step into the coming season with peaceful hearts, knowing God is already ahead of us, preparing the way!
