I love how God works. He is very clear that we will trials and hard times. He says it won’t be easy. Yet he does things for us to help us along the way. To let us know he with there with him. For me, he has given me amazing encouraging friends. They always seem to show up at the right time.
I really feel this year is going to be a step in my walk with the Lord. Yet his past month has been a month filled with massive spiritual attacks for me because I have stepped up in my faith. Yet God has placed amazing people in my life to help encourage me through these times. I’m talking out-of-the blue encouragements from people I didn’t expect to hear from. A surprise visit from my friend Nathan from Iowa, phone calls from Jamin in Sudan, myspace message from Jude in Belize, an instant message chat with Sarah (and her new baby), Kristine has been there for me, my men’s group laid hands on me, Kelly (who is such a blessing to me) text me from the Netherlands to tell me she was thinking of me, Deanna took me out to dinner after not seeing her for 2 years, Mark emails me every week, Leah encourages me through her blogs, Melissa (I can’t say enough), Candace prays for me, Pastor Ron, (Wow!), and I could go on and on. All these people went out of their way to encourage me. God is good. I am trusting him that he knows what the plan is during these times. I am growing stronger in my faith. But I am most thankful for that fact he understands what I’m going through and is giving me what I need to get through it.
God Bless everyone! I love you! Life is amazing!
