Faith
Oh, Lord, my Lord, You are ever faithful! I am amazed at the ways our Lord works things out if we will just get out of His way and let Him work.
If you know me at all, you know my family has been, and is still, dealing with numerous upsets and crises.
But I want to tell you, and this is my public acknowledgement of it, that the Lord I serve and follow and trust completely with my future and my present, is so faithful! Words cannot do Him justice at all but I will try to convey the love and the blessings He is showering upon this family. And not just financially either. That's not even the most important. Our family itself is being knit back together, slowly, but it's happening. Things are falling into place after so many months of confusion. I got a bit of much needed rest during Christmas which has cleared my mind a bit. So many things--so pitiful a way to try to say "Thanks!" to My Father.
I returned to work on Tuesday after Christmas break to find over $70.00 worth of gifts from my bosses and to top it off, a raise! My husband found out on the same day that he also received a raise. This is after so many people helped us take care of the basics, like groceries, after my husband's accident. Hopefully, he will be able to return to work next week--his physical therapist says he is progressing wonderfully. On the same day he had the accident, we got a call from the third job he applied for telling him he had the job. Then he wrecked. So naturally, we assumed the job was gone. Last night, the manager called just before nine to see if he still wanted this job! So, while I am wondering how in the world my poor husband is going to manage three different jobs, as well as work on his mother's house, we seem to be headed down the right road as far as finances are concerned. We have a long way to go--we've called everyone we owe, like the mortgage company, to explain the delay in payment--but we seem to be making a few small baby steps. Onward and upward, I say!
I've been praying for financial help forever. But I've just started noticing that I'm getting it! I was praying for a windfall, which would be nice but not very practical (really, what are the odds of winning the lottery?), yet not seeing that my prayers are being answered. Not in the way I thought, but in the way God chose to answer them. Really, I think I spend way too much of my life with my 'blinders' on!
I've got friends, family, and coworkers who really care about me and mine. I've got so much more than I realized. I've got the creator of the whole universe rooting for me! What more could I possibly want? I may not get the easy solution I wanted (ok, still want and who doesn't? I'm just tired and things are just so---uugghhh!), but I am getting solutions to things every single day!
THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH:
God is faithful. He will not let you down! Open your eyes and see His answers to you. Don't focus on how you wanted it to be or how you thought it should be, just look around you and SEE His replies to you. I'm telling you--I just can't imagine living any other way, I can't imagine trying to navigate this world without Him. I don't want to.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, mind, and soul, and you cannot be moved! He will not let you fall, no matter how bad things are looking for you right now. Hold fast to your faith and refuse to be shaken! God will see you through!
May the Lord bless you all and keep you close to His beautiful heart. Have a wonderful day!
