Thank You for your Prayers and Encouragments

Hello Hello,

Thank you so much for all your prayers. They are a blessing. And thank you for all your encouragements that you have been giving to me through our blog website and by phone.

Things are getting better. Joy does come in the morning. Joel is doing a fabulous job with his new position. It keeps him busy and he is really good at it. God has blessed him with leaderships skills.

God has given me grace and wisdom this past week. I am starting to feel a lot better and like my old self. Which is a good thing. The enemy will not win this battle. I have been very deep into the book of Genesis. I have realized even more that no matter how many times you read a passage in the bible something new always pops up.

Yesterday was the most awesome day ever. Since Joel and I have been feeling down the ministry sent us to a pastor that is a friend of Friend SHips. He understands the ins and outs as well as the hardships. On the way to our meeting with him I came to realize the only reason Joel was coming was to support me and that he didn't really need to talk to pastor Bill about anything. I was nervous about this.
We went in to the church and as soon as we saw him he gave us a huge bear hug. What a nice beginning. (Oh I should mention before we got there Joel brought up a subject that I didn't realize I needed to work on. It made me cry because I was so tender in the area. SO I was bawling before I even got there. I said Joel next time bring these things up afterwards so I am not so sensitive going into a meeting with a pastor I have never met. hehehehehehe)
Pastor Bill asked us what was going on in our lives. I was so nervous that Joel graciously went first. And then I went. And of course I cried. I told myself before hand to keep myself together. It didn't work.
When I was done he said well everything you are going through is good and will help you in the future. The advice was very Godly and I was very appreciative of everything He had said. I was truly blessed. Joel sat there and squeezed my hand every so often to let me know He was there. They were both encouraging. God knew that I needed the encouragement. Then the strangest thing happened at the end of the meeting Pastor Bill asked me to pray for him. I was so nervous. Mainly because I blanked on his name. But God gave it to me before I started. Then we said good bye and parted our ways.

Joel and I went out to lunch and then a movie. It was a wonderful day. I thank God that He blessed us indeed.


Thank you for all your prayers they have been working. Thank you also for your encouragement. It was needed.
God has been so good I dont' know what any of us would do with out Him.

Have a blessed day.

Kickin it with Heavenly Father,
