I have had some absolutely incredible God connections this week. What is that you say? Oh, well, I aim to please. Allow me to elaborate.
You know that new Beth Moore study I began two weeks ago? WELL, out of the approximately 115 seats to choose from, I unknowingly sat next to a Mom and Daughter. I found them to be a lovely pair of faith driven women. This week, it came out that the Mom had lost a son 3 years ago. If you're following, that would make the Daughter someone who had lost her brother. God was so physically present when that discovery was made, on only the second week of study. Whoa! Not to mention, the study itself is pretty amazing! Anyways, I was able to be a part of something BIG that night. And, I am still emotionally digesting those details.
Secondly, remember Rylan's Mom? Well, our meeting last week was postponed to this week instead. I have now met her. She's just a Gem. She has been through so much, and I admire her strength. Her pregnancy was completely normal, went into labor, arrived at the hospital only to find that Rylan no longer had a heartbeat. You can imagine the agony, the heartbreak. Would you please keep her in your prayers these next few days, or weeks, if you feel so inclined? (I am truly honored to have met you, Heather!)
Thirdly, I started with my newly assigned family this week. I am assigned a new family every 3 months, through the volunteer organization I've been working with since last September. I must admit that I was quite anxious to get another family. My very first one I was assigned to, was such a perfect fit. A God fit, actually. I learned so much from that Mom, I was rather pessimistic that I could be so perfectly matched with another family again. Boy, was I wrong. The second family is just as perfectly matched! (In differing ways of course.) So, I am super excited to continue to get to know them.
I am just so grateful for the direction my life seems to be taking. All the glory be to God for that. He really IS mighty to save, full of compassion, all-knowing, The Alpha, and The Omega. Can I get an AMEN?!
It is my prayer and desire that God is blessing your families, and your situations, too.
Thanks again for all your prayers and all your support!
