First I want to ask, if anyone reads these take a few minutes and cover our law enforcement officers in prayer! They see us at our worse when we are hurt, in pain (physically and emotionally), lost or just in need of direction. They protect and serve our community everyday often unseen (unless their lights are behind you). I have a friend who has seen more than anyone should and on top of a personal life roller coaster is also facing many uncertainties at work.
This is were why heart is as I type today. I was asked for advice for dealing with stressful situations, this person thought I handle stress well. I have dealt with an appartment flood while pregnant, I have got behind on my bills and paid some hard consquences, had a premiee, lost my job, spent 2 years searching for another while going to school and trying to raise 2 kids, lost my Uncle to cancer, almost lost my dad to H1N1, dealt with car probs and NUMEROUS money probs...even though I say "I" the only reason I know we(our family) made it is HIM.
In Judges He promises to be with me, in Psalm He says He will equipe me, and that He is on my side I have nothing to fear, in Isaiah He again tells me He will give me strength.
God has allowed people in my life that I watch face things I think I never could and He uses them to show me that with Him all things are possible!
All I know is that in the past 25 years I have seen Gods faithfulness in so many ways, yet I think Thomas and I would have been good friends. I see God get me through one situation yet in my heart doubt Him the next time I face a trail.
To the person facing hard times, hard day at work, loss of a job or relationship, sickness, etc. I know God will use your situation to grow you and show you yet again His faithfulness. He loves you and is for you, you have NOTHING to fear for with God all things are possible.
"Count you blessings count them one by one. Count your blessings see what God has done..." "Turn you eyes apon Jesus...and the things of earth with grow strangely dim in the light of His goodness and grace."
