Her Husband

Her Husband

My single friend excitedly told me 

about all the options and opportunities that were beginning to open to her 

as she considered leaving her tenured job of many years. 

She was beginning to test the waters 

and do some looking.

She was feeling a little overwhelmed as this new task was added to an all ready very busy season as teacher. 

'There's this and this, 

a phone call, a meeting, an offer etc etc." she shared.

Immediately I saw a picture.   

She was sitting  at the breakfast table 

with her Husband,  

telling Him all about the many things that were swirling around in her mind.  

I saw Him sitting back in His chair 

in rapt attention 

as He intently listened to her every word.

"Honey", He said,  "Go and enjoy your day today. 

While you're gone I'm going to take some time 

to look carefully at each of these offers 

and suggestions and make a few call etc.  

Leave it all to Me!  

You know I have Connections!  

When you return 

and are rested 

we will chat about each one and I will give you My thoughts and guidance on each and every detail!"

He shooed her along as her "but but but's" faded away.

What a GOOD HUSBAND we have!!!

Is it possible?!

Does Someone really look out for us like that ?

Does Someone really care that much?

Is He really willing to get involved in the muck and mire of daily living?

Does it really matter to Him?

YES IT DOES

and yes HE DOES 

Wait for the end of the story!

My Story

While sharing with a friend today she shared how others had told her she should write her story.

I recalled the story of Cinderella  

 She was in a safe beautiful family

Her mom died and eventually her dad remarried

A step mother and 2 step sisters moved in on the scene

Immediately her life changed

drastically

She became a slave, her carefree life and all the freedoms she had known were now over. 

At any time during these years 

her story could have been written 

but yet today we know it would not have been the whole story......we would have "held" her in the chapter where we last saw her.

Cinderella obediently went about her business, 

preparing her family for the ball, 

bearing her own disappointment of broken dreams and sitting in the cold ashes.

A knock at the door

a fairy god mother

some mice, a few pumpkins and some "magic"

a Prince Charming that would not be satisfied with lesser "things" and an ill fitting shoe

brings us to the 

rest of the story

where they lived happily ever after!

What we miss by writing our story before He's finished!

Wait on the Lord...

Don't lean on our own understanding,

but let Him keep writing your story

Don't Be afraid

He has the VERY BEST ENDING in store for those that follow Him!

Halleluhia!

The Train Ride

The Train Ride

As I listened to a dear sister talk today 

I had a picture of her being on a long train ride.

It seemed she did not know when she got on the train

 and her trip seemed to have taken on a life of its own.

She kind of had forgotten where she was going

 and that she even had a destination.   

Each day ran into the next with the mundanity of broken hope and nothing new.

Today it seemed as she stared out the same old window on the same old car a sign caught her attention.

A SIGN

    A SIGN??

 A SIGN!

HEAVEN BOUND...

  

What a relief....

she had been riding so long, 

so many broken dreams and crazy life happenings had caused her to doubt and wonder if she was even on the right course

But Today...

She saw a sign

that reminded her

she was on the right train,

That her conductor was Jesus and that He was taking her the route she had to travel.

All is peaceful now that she has seen the sign.  Relief and peace has washed over her

Jesus is a Very Present Help in times of trouble.   

Keep watching ... 

Praise His Name

The Knot

The Knot

Today in Prayer Meeting a Powerful Presence hovered over us all as we lifted many requests to His Throne

As one woman prayed and shared I saw a long chain stitch with a large KNOT at the end.  I knew by its size that it had been there for sometime.   As my friend prayed again for the family and all that was going on, I saw the knot loosen and come apart quickly.  Immediately the chain stitch began to unravel ..seemingly "suddenly".  

I felt the Holy Spirit say that a Work had been done and accomplished and that we could expect to see a string of supernatural events in our near future.

God is at work

Many are praying and believing

Many are taking their stance

Friend don't lose heart

He has heard and He has answered.

God knows and His timing is impeccable

Praising God

Amen
