I have been going through a bout of discouragement for the past couple of weeks, but God has put some very special people in my life to help me. Sunday night someone told me just the right thing that REALLY helped me, and then I read some very encouraging posts both yesterday and today. I just wanted to get on here and tell everyone how good God is!! Isn't He just wonderful?!
Our Pastor preached a message Sunday night on "Sticking With God". As most of you know, we are going through something with my sister right now, and that has put a huge toll on our family. Because of what we have been going through I have gotten discouraged and behind in my relationship with the Lord. I had been very hurt because of what my sister is going to be doing in the next couple of weeks. But I realized Sunday night that I had to give what we were going through over to God and let Him work...not me! I was trying to tell my sister what she needed to do, and I was not letting God have the situation.
I just want to thank everyone who blogs. I get so much encouragement from reading your sites, and I know that a lot of others get the same encouragement!! So thank you to all of you!

Hey Kristina,
I know, I never leave comments. I've got to try to do better about that. :) I dont visit blogs all that much, but I just wanted you to know that Jess and I are praying for you. I know this all has to be very hard on you. I dont know the whole of the situation, but I can imagine how hard it must be. God will bring you through. He always does :) It's so wonderful to know that isn't it??? When I'm going through a rough time, a song that always helps me is - This Valley is for ME. Lean on God. He's right there beside you :) Take care.
Love,
Amanda P.
My husband always reminds me that if I do get behind on spending time with the Lord I won't really be fully fed and then I won't be able to feed others, which is what I try to do a lot the time. I'm glad you get encouraged by reading some posts and the teachings. Don't give up, I know it can be tiring, but the battle is the Lord's... you are "all" in my prayers. The Lord is good!
Mrs. Crystal,
Thanks...I look forward to getting the tape.
Bro. Tim,
Thanks for the encouragement!
Amanda,
Thank you so much for commenting. It really does mean a lot.
I know what you are going through Kristina and I understand so much what you are feeling because I SEE with my own eyes what you are going through. It pains my heart to see it too!! I want so much to take that pain from you or to take it for you...but I can't. And I have my own pain I'm experiencing through all of this. You have been such an encouragement to me and have been there for me to lean on and talk to. The times you and I share just talking mean so much to me!! I want that with Michelle but she refuses to have that with me but chooses to have it with other family members. Hang in there Sweetie!! God is in control of all of this and He will get the glory out of it all. Either through our lives as we go through it or her life as she comes out of this time she is putting us all through. I love you and thank God for you daily and the strength and God's grace that I see displayed in your life each day.
Thank you also for putting up with me!!
Kris,
I am praying for you and your family.

Kristina,
I'm sorry this situation doesn't seem to be any better. I'll be praying for ya'll!!
Haha,,, oh Kristina, I just noticed that I left you a message from my husband's account. I hope that didn't freak you out.
Hope things are better for you and your family. Still in my prayers :)
Jimena,
I knew it was you that had left the comment. I have left many comments under my mom's name by accident before, so I completely understand!
Thanks for the prayers and for leaving the comment.
