Even though this picture of Abbey has nothing to do with my blog, I just had to post it because I just love it. IT's a reminder of summer and how it is pretty much gone.
I just want to praise God in this blog for all the good news I am hearing from friends. It really blesses me to hear good things happening when my friends step out in faith and let God work in their life. My friend back east whom I consider my sister who fell away from God called me tonight and said she went back to church for the first time in along time last week. Already she has joy back in her spirit. She has her masters degree and is working at a diner. She told me she really feels God is humbling her by putting her in this position to see how hard other people have it. The people she is working with are really mean and grumpy, especially her boss. But she is standing strong and sticking with it. My best friend went for counceling today with our pastor for her marriage! I am so thrilled she went because she came back so encouraged. It's gonna be cool to see what God does. Then to hear Stacey got a great job with great hours, pay and even has a backup babysitter for when school is out, a worry she had when she took the job. And the skating ministry that Todd and Stacey are starting.Then Greg gets our mortgage statement and our payment went down $90.00! We just got a car payment so with the cut in mtg pymt our car payment will only be 45.00! Thank you Lord, for being so faithful to us when we fail you daily. When we take a step of faith and reach out and obey you even in baby steps you just blow us away! I pray for all of my friends reading this that you will show yourself mighty in their lives and plans and show them that you are greater than anything in this world and can do abundantly more than we can ever imagine! Turn our hearts and dreams passionatley toward you and your plans for our lives and make us into the people you created us to be. In Jesus Name Amen!

First... Let me just say that I love that picture of abbey! I'm sad to see summer go as now the cold weather and cold season is going to start. :(
Second.... AMEN! To everything you said. The Lord works in mysterious way and it's probably a good thing. Just think of how boring life would be if we all knew how our lives were going to turn out! He humbles us and then brings us back up when we need it. He does everythingeven though we don't deserve it! I could go on and on.. But I won't! I'll just say another AMEN! :-)
I forgot to add... It's good to see you blogging again :)
Thanks Stacey! I was beginning to think no one was visiting:-(
Yeah I am glad to get back in a routine again, and back to blogging. Amen to your Amen (heee-hee
It is always great to hear how God works in others lives. It is very encouraging! It always floors me to see his hand in things. You find it in the smallest ways sometimes, but the smaller it is the greater it seems! If that makes any sense at all.
