HeAintThroughWithMeYet

Here I am again,

I could shout from the mountain top today. I am so elated and overcome with joy in the Lord! He truly gave me signs today.  

My Pastor sent me a link to a website where you can order books.  So I went there and I ordered a few books, as you all know I love to read about God, Grace, Faith, everything. And I might add I am not a good stewart when it comes to finances and books  

Anyways, those books came today! And I took one book with me when I picked up my cat Cookie from the Vet office. I knew that I would be there way before I can pick her up, but I am a over punctual person so of course I was there a half hour prior for pick-up. So I started reading this book called “Grow In Grace” by Sinclair B. Ferguson. It is not a huge book the size of each page is about a postcard, so you see not a big thing, but about 139 pages. So, I come to page #4 or 5 I think and the Author talks about Jesus, and Mary , and our Father in Heaven. And I dont know I sat in my car in front of the Vet’s office sobbing. Sobbing I tell you! I had to put the book down and stop reading or the people in the Vet’s office would think I am losing my mind.  

But this writer, he writes the book that you can actually feel how Mary must have felt, and Jesus. It talks about the growing up from his toddler years to an adult and the temptations and sufferings our Lord had to go through.

This was the first time in my life that I actually understood when people say, I weep for Jesus, when I think he got crucified. I felt it too.  To me it felt like my mom or my brother or my late father when he died you know. Like family, and I never felt like that before in my life. Not about Jesus either, but today I did. And it overflooded me with emotion. I am an emotional person but today this was just to much. Sitting alone in a truck, other people around in their cars and trucks to pick up their pets, and I am in the midst sobbing  (for them for no reason of course).

It is an emotional time for me this passed two days, last night I heard on the news here that a little boy age 3 had passed yesterday from a brain tumor. So I looked up their website, and left a comment of Sympathy there. Next thing you know I get an reply email but it is from the little boy, saying…thank you for praying for me, and I will get better soon. My daddy is sitting with me in the hospital room reading books to me and my mommy is there too. Signed Joshua.

And I knew that this was an email that comes automatically since their blog is on the web for a while so the parents dont have to respond to each and every email you know. But it touched me so much so that i sat here on the pc and cried for this family. It is heartbreaking news for a young family to go through something like that. But there goes the suffering in the end it should work out for the good, for His Glory. But you cant tell parents that when they just lost their little boy!

Same with the Family from my church, Katy is so ill, you all can read and post comments there too. She loves reading comments. Anyways, she is so young my sons age and she speaks in one of her posts called “Heavenly Encouragement ” about the time she saw Jesus and He took her with her and He showed her all the things in Heaven ( you got to go there and read it yourself now)  http://katysblog.com , it also touched me and I was sitting crying on this computer screen.  I read her blog daily and it is horible what some people have to go through at a young tender age, and of course their families.

Anyways I am rambling on here now 

So people please pray for me that I keep my sanity, and that God will do great works through me. I want to lead people to the Lord as long as I can. Which, if I finally would stop smoking would be probably a long time.

I thank everyone for their loving and kind, encouraging comments, and it is my Hope that you keep commenting so I get encouraged to write more posts on here!

May the Prince of Peace be with you all

Love In Christ
