God Just Knows

I posted the following on Brandon's caringbridge site yesterday, and am keeping it FRESH today!!!

don't think that I will ever just "get it" by always being amazed at God's FAITHFULNESS. It will just never get old, and I am so THANKFUL for that.

God showed up this morning in just the most perfect way, that my hurting heart has been needing. I just love that about him, he knows me so much that he knows just what thing I will need. And the fact that he actually knew what I would need today...........before I was even born. How GREAT is that.

Also, today I heard this wonderful statement on a morning Christian show that I watch/listen to while getting ready in the morning....

~ Your FAITH does not prevent life, it carries you through life.

That just made such an impact on my heart and in my mind. God is just so good at giving me the "stuff" to move forward, whether it be by that next step, next breath, next hard time, or even next adventure.

He is just that BIG and always there!!!

Hello, FRIEND!

I'm sorry it's been so long since I've checked in. I had my "hill to climb" too. It's always hard to face the holidays without our sweet boys isn't it? Well, with Mother's Day behind me, I'm HOPING to get back into somewhat of a normal routine. (Whatever "normal" is) Up until yesterday I'd been keeping myself REALLY busy.. trying not to think. I really think I'm doing much better now. I hope this little note finds you doing well also.

Before I go I'd like to say a prayer with you? =-)


Lord, I thank You so much for my friend Dawn. Neither of us would've chosen the paths we're on, but I THANK YOU, LORD, for allowing those paths to cross and a friendship to be born.

God, I pray that You would touch Dawn in a special way today. Let her continue to SEE YOU and to recognize that you know her needs before she does. I thank you LORD that she's already doing this. It's so easy to be blinded by this world and miss recognizing that YOU are near. Please bless her as she seeks YOU and let her see and learn NEW things about You.

Please lighten her burdens as YOU said YOU would when we cast them upon YOU. Help her heart to be light and her day filled with JOY... in JESUS Name, Amen.
