Real Lives @ RLC
Kelly McManimon and her husband Ryan have been attending Real Life for about a year and are enjoying their first year of marriage.
Kelly tells of a recent answered prayer concerning an issue she has been facing.
"I have had very vivid dreams for years, and particularly nightmares. When I wake up, they leave me feeling uneasy and have tended to lead to daydreams where my mind continues to dwell.
Both the nightmares and the daydreams were causing me to not trust fully in people that I loved. I was constantly trying to think of who I could ask for help, always coming up empty.
After weeks of sermons on trust, a simple illustration triggered me to realize that I could trust in my Almighty Friend--the Lord! Feeling compelled all day to share what I had learned in service, I did that evening in my Life Group.
The group prayed over me that night and I felt the peace of Christ wash over me. "Praise God--my nightmares ceased instantly and have not come back! The Lord answered our prayer and released me from my nightmares!"
