Encouraging Word

Thanks to my friend, Melissa Bell, for introducting me to KLove's Encouraging Word.  I just HAD to share today...

Encouraging Word

Sunday 9/12/2010I took my troubles to the Lord; I cried out to him, and he answered my prayer.~ Psalm 120:1, NLTI would say that it's so funny that I get this particular scripture, but nothing happens by coincidence.  I'm positive that it's all God's plan for me.   Just about four years ago, my life was a mess and that's probably putting it mildly. I was so confused. And one night, I cried out to him.  I will never forget where I was or how I felt.  He answered me.  Just like He promises that he will.  Maybe not instantly, but in His own time.  Several weeks later, I met Shane.  Again, not by coincidence.  God was trying to show me balance in this crazy world.  And Shane was a huge part of that revelation for me.  He once said that for everything good there is something bad... people die but babies are born.  I held onto that when my Daddy died.  It really was a comfort to me to know that on April 22, 2009... so far the worst day of my life... someone else was rejoicing.  Someone witnessed the miracle of life.  Someone celebrated a birthday that they didn't expect to celebrate.  Someone received good news.  Balance.  That brought me great comfort.God heard my cries.  He hears yours too.Trust in Him.I wanted to share this one of Shane and Sadie... enjoying the light show at Laketown Wharf in Panama City Beach, FL.
