Hey everyone!

Hey everyone! I'm so excited about this blog!!!! (Even though I know nothing about blogging!haha) This will be a way to share my life with you and yours with me. Each week, someone calls or sends a card encouraging me with dealing with my disease. It is virtually impossible that I update all of those who earnestly pray for me on my condition. This blog will be a way to keep you updated on me and more importantly, the ministry. I have recently gotten back from Boston where I see a world-renowned specialist for what I have. For those of you who ask about the "crazy name" of my disease, it is called Takayasu's Arteritis-An autoimmune disease which causes my main arteries to close, preventing blood flow. It is rare, limiting 1 person per million in the US with it. (I am rare!!!That's for sure!!) I got a better report than I did the first time I went to Boston. I found that the disease had slowed down but had not stopped. It is important to stop it and place it into remission. This weekend, I had a flare up. Please pray that God will place the disease into remission by finding the correct medication for me. Anyway, enough about that doom and gloom! Now to the exciting part!!! I will be speaking Jan. 26 in Cuba, AL at a conference. Please pray that God will use me in a mighty way to speak to the hearts of those who hear. It is going to be great! The ministry is finally taking shape and taking off. It has been crazy getting ready for it but I can officially say that I have buckled my seat belt and am ready for take off!!! A special thanks to my sister-in-law, Katie Taylor, for listening to God and being obedient to create this blog. You'll never know how much I love and appreciate you, Katie.

Great Blessings and Peace to you Corrie from the Most High God who heals you from all your diseases!
You are His beloved and His warrior! Your life and your courage speak as a testimony to all.
It is humbling to see your soft submission and obedience in the face of great tribulation.

He is our source!

Exodus 15:26 AMP
"Saying, If you will diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord your God and will do what is right in His sight, and will listen to and obey His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases upon you which I brought upon the Egyptians, for I am the Lord Who heals you".

Psalm 103:3 AMP
Who forgives [every one of] all your iniquities, Who heals [each one of] all your diseases

Matthew 4:23
And He went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the good news (Gospel) of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every weakness and infirmity among the people.

Matthew 8:17, 9:35, 10:01,
And thus He fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah, He Himself took [ in order to carry away] our weaknesses and infirmities and bore away our diseases.

Mark 1:34, 5:34
And He said to her, Daughter, your faith (your trust and confidence in Me, springing from faith in God) has restored you to health. Go in (into) peace and be continually healed and freed from your [ distressing bodily] disease.

Yay! You are finally doing a blog. I'm so glad Katie pushed you to do this. It really will help others as they try to catch a glimpse into the mind of someone as "rare" as you. I love both of you dearly!

Corey, hey girl! I am so blessed to have a friend like you in my life. You are so inspirational to me. You just keep going on no matter what. Why would anyone deny God a chance to be in their heart and life. If those people could only see how God has touched my life through you they would be amazed. We both have had some trials and turmoil in our lives in the last couple of years, Im just glad we could be their for each other. Thank you so much for being a child of God and a great friend.
