It is amazing that if you just shut your mouth sometimes and
listen, that God speaks directly to you.
After my post early this morning I felt discouraged and defeated, but
this afternoon while trying to figure out how to make my blog look pretty. I was glancing at some others. I came across one called Every Day
Miracles. There I was reading Wendi’s
blog when I happen to look off to the corner to see a picture of a baby in an
incubator. And underneath it said ‘JD:
In our lives for 10 days. Changed our
lives forever. Dancing with Jesus.’ I lost it and broke down and cried. I heard Jesus at that moment saying. ‘Tanya, see you really don’t have it all that
bad. Relax and give me your burdens.’
And if that wasn’t enough, I was driving with Caleb this
afternoon to Lifeway Christian Bookstore and I was listening to a sermon by
Greg Laurie. He had a guest
speaker, Pastor Levi Lusko. He had lost his 5 year old daughter, Lenya, 5
days before Christmas, suddenly with an asthma attack.
Again I heard Jesus say ‘see Tanya, again, be thankful that your son is healthy. Trust in me, know that I will not leave you.’
I find it amazing that through great difficulties, if we
open our ears and our hearts, we will hear God speaking to us.
And on the drive home I was listening to Pastor Mark Ambrose http://www.pacificcoastchurch.org/GrowInChrist/SermonArchive.php talking about marching in line walking towards Jesus. And he was discussing James 5:13 ‘Are any of you suffering hardships? You should pray. Are any of you happy? You should sing praises (NLT). My response. ‘Okay God, I hear you loud and
clear!’ I will continue to pray and know
that you are listening.
It is times like this afternoon, where I am lifted and
strengthened and rejuvenated by the Lord.
Thank you Jesus.
