When I was in counseling, my counselor had me write about "what does love look like in a marriage?" I was going through my computer files and re-reading some of my journaling and as I re-read this one, it hit me that this is what Christ's love for me looks like; as a friend told me shortly after my divorce, Jesus - HE is your Husband!

God does answer our prayers
God answers prayer! He hears us when we call out to Him. When we petition and plead, ("the effective fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth MUCH!") when we come before Him with praise and thanksgiving ("enter into His gates with thanksgiving in your heart and give Him praise,") How awesome that the God of the Universe listens when I cry out to Him.

Only God can hold me together!
It's been a year since I blogged...I can't believe it has been that long. So much has been going on in my life in a year. I don't know where to begin. I think rather than going back and recapping, I will just start with today...and blog forward and write about this past year as it is relevant.
I have been dealing with a lot of stress lately and yesterday God gave me a song on the radio. I have been googling for a while trying to find the name of it and having no luck. But it was about what if everything I am going thru is God trying to say "I love you." I was driving down the interstate listening to this song, crying so hard I couldn't see...and when the song ended, the most incredible thing happened, definitely a God thing...I passed a billboard that said in big red letters, "Jesus loves you." Ok, is that not just like God? HOW can anyone say God does not speak to us today. Later that night, I got an email from Paige with this link : Laminin by Louie Giglio.

Good News...Sad News...
I cannot believe I haven't written for six months. I have been busy with the Baby Kate...babysitting a lot, which of course, I love.
First of all, the good news...thank you to all of you faithfully prayed for me and my surgery and the results. Went to see Dr. Levine today for a follow-up and my test results were benign! PTL!
Bad news...my half-brother Donald (72) who lived in Brunswick, GA, died July 17. I am so glad we were able to reunite in the past couple of years and spend time talking and sharing. His wife shared with me yesterday that he was saved, so I rejoice that we will see each other again one day in Heaven. I like to imagine him today, talking and laughing with Mama, Grandma and Jean - what a reunion that must be!
Also, my old friend Linda Copper died yesterday. She had suffered for so long with cancer. I was glad to hear that her son was with her when she passed. Her emails in the last year or so have been so encouraging to me - what a woman of faith she was.
