HUGE BLESSINGS
The Lord has truly blessed me in my life and is still blessing me daily.
You know sometimes the Lord just has to knock you down to get your attention. The reason I know this is because that is what happened to me several weeks ago.
I wasn't going to church and studying the Bible and praying like I should. He kept after me and after me and I was like okay I will but never did.
SOOOOOOO, he knocked me down. Things seemed to be going fine and then all of the sudden within a week it seemed like everything fell apart. I literally thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown. There was nowhere I could go without something effecting me personally.
Then it hit me, the Lord is going to get my attention one way or the other. I started praying like I haven't prayed in years. I went to Church on Sunday and came home and one of my prayers got answered. I knew it actually before it happened. God said okay, I've got you back and don't leave again, and I haven't. I pray everyday that he keeps me reading the word and spending time with him daily and keeping in church and giving myself to him totally. Because without him I know I would continue to make mistake after mistake.
Its amazing how from just one week to another I feel totally different. Don't get me wrong, everything in my life is not perfect. But the difference is with God walking with me everyday I know that as long as I stand and wait on him he will make the right choices for me and bless me.
One of the things I was dealing with is my son has had drug problems for years and had done so good for awhile and in a split second he changed and went back to the drugs. When I found out I called him and said some terrible things because I was so hurt, which was wrong. I realized that so I asked God what could I do and he told me to love him and just wait on the Lord. I know in my heart that he will be okay because God has let me know that. So I have been calling him leaving messages (because he wouldn't answer my calls) telling him how much the Lord and I love him and how I know he is going to get back to where he is, etc. Yesterday for the first time he called me back and talked to me. When we were through talking he said Mom I love you please continue to pray for me. I know that I know that I know where I am going when I die, do you?
Please keep my family in your prayers.
Love, Terri
