(NOTE:
I’d like to share with you a letter that I got from a lady who attends The
Community Fellowship. What a great
encouragement this was to me, and it will encourage you as well. Read and keep seeking God!)
He was fully convinced that God is able to do whatever he
promises.
Not so long
ago, I was sitting at my desk filling out an application to Henry Co. Public
Schools, to reapply for my previous position as a sub. I had been praying
for GOD to open up an opportunity that I could withstand due to my health and
still be able to handle my parents declining health. Then you shared the
message COURAGEOUS. I really was into
that frame of mind anyway. Half way through the application process, I
took a break to look for information they require, and before I got on with
that the phone rang. It was my dad
saying out of the blue that "I was on his mind and he was praying for
me". Then I go to my Facebook
and a friend that I met a few months back was on telling that she needed some
help. I ask her what kind of help, and she went on explaining to me
that their son has autism. They
were looking for someone to help watch him and work with him as he is home
schooled. We talked for about an hour, and we decided to meet later that
week to discuss the details further.
After
returning from vacation, I choose to meet with the family, and I had put off
filling out the rest of the application, praying for GOD's will the entire
trip. That Thursday I started working with/for this family, the
best decision I could ever make. Not only was I doing what my heart
desired, but also what GOD offered to me. Now I can only look back with amazement.
Several weeks have passed now, and I am so BLESSED to have this opportunity.
What a wonderful family. Not only
did GOD give me a Christian family to work with but also a very special little
boy. I am now making more than I ever
could have at the school, doing my dream job. Although it can be quite the challenge, I know
this happened for many reasons. GOD is always in control of every
situation. We often forget to thank him.
I went to the alter a
few Sundays ago overwhelmed by what he has done for me and brought me
through... the tears were Thankful, not scared of what’s next, just happy with
what is. That's what led me to write this to you...
There seems
to be a mountain ahead for our church, even though I don't know all the details.
I really don't need too. I do know
who will see us to the top and carry us over. You have been given many great tasks to do but
not without his arms around you along the way. Our church family is
Strong, and no matter the issues ahead, we will climb with you to the top.
I pray daily for GOD's guidance in everything we do. He promised to
see us through, but we must be COURAGEOUS enough to allow this. I know
you are because I have seen you struggle before and come out just fine, if not
better. You’re not too far from my
age. We both have climbed many
mountains of what we thought was defeat when really all they were a test of
FAITH. We can look back at what we've learned and move forward even
stronger knowing with GOD we will get through anything.
…The
strength I see in our church family amazes me still. I know in my heart
that you are a great leader and one of the chosen to do the will of GOD.
Now is your turn to show your STRENGTH, COURAGE and FAITH. You will because WE will stand with you on
that mountain after all is said and done.
We will look back at this as a defeated challenge together! Know
that your church family is with you always. GOD's Army Will Move
Mountains!!! I know it, because he has moved many for me in almost 40
years.
PRAYING FAITHFULLY!
“You don’t have enough faith,” Jesus
told them. “I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard
seed, you could say to this mountain,
‘Move from here to there,’ and
it would move. Nothing would be
impossible.”
(CONCLUSION:
that letter gives me courage and encouragement.
Don’t ya think? God is good … all
the time!)
