I love how the Lord gives you words that speak truth, love, & encouraging words to yourself and to others. These words came these words came to me half way through Romania while my squad was feeling tired & wanted a huge break. When I shared these words, I felt a presence of peace in the room. I did not write these words down cause I thought it was a one time deal. Those words came back but he added to it and I knew I had to write it and share it.
The Lord is wanting to share it but also share what is happening at home. The past couple of months at home it has been difficult and rough. My sister found out she will not have a teaching job come next year. My dads back has been giving him more pain than he can handle that he had to miss days of work because of it. My grandparents are aging and what makes it worse is my grandma was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. I have no idea how much longer she has on this earth but what I do know is that she is one more day closer to Jesus. It brings me tears when I talk with my mom and hearing things about my grandma. Not being there for my mom as my grandma is forgetting thing. From what I have heard and read is soon she will be to the point that she wont remember how to eat. I do pray against that as I pray I get to see her one last time; even though she will have no idea who I am. This hard for me to share. I am being obedient and sharing. Yes it is hard and God has a special reason for it. May we all continue to press into him.
Corrie Ten Boom says it great; “In the darkness his light shines the most.” The Lord is ever faithful and sovereign! He knows what he is doing and he is doing it, even in our sadness. He also knows what he is doing in success and our sickness.
If you feel like giving up, don’t! May these words speak into you. May they be words you are longing to hear from your Savior! For he is cheering you on!
