Sunday

Just got back from church where I had a wonderful time!  I am a Sunday School teacher and today's lesson seemed to be more for me than for the students!  Seems like that happens just when you need it.  Our lesson was about faith, that special ingredient in prayer.  I was so encouraged by our lesson.  God is reaching out to me and I can feel it.  I can feel it again!  I must admit that lately I have been feeling alone and like God is not dealing with me, but this is just another sign that he knows my situation.  I'm the one who just needs to have faith.  Why keep praying if you don't believe God is capable?  Why keep praying if you don't believe anything will happen.  That's what our lesson was about.  So I've gotten the message twice in the past week.  I'll let you know how things turn out once I start exercising faith.

Then, my fiancee preached a wonderful word on this morning.  He talked about the importance of focusing on praise rather than on our situation.  He talked about how praise can bring us through so many thing.  He shared his own testimony of losing his uncle recently and how he was very hurt and saddened, but yet he had a praise on the inside that brought him through.  I am so proud of how he allows God to use him.  Of course he has a wonderful sense of humor too so he had us cracking up throughout his sermon.  Again, I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful man!

Well, it's extremely hot today.  I'm going to go now, drink some water and relax before it's time to head back to church for evening service.  Thank God for sending me all of the encouragement.  Everything will be all right.  I just know it!
