| Beyond Blessed |

| As I stop to pray, I have just written two blogs and tried to post each of them and to no avail. Disturbed and getting frustrated, I stopped to pray again for God's leading. This deep, deep leading is exactly what my world has been about lately. The absolute only thing going okay in my life right now is seeing the precious face of my daughter. Then I come to my senses and return to the spiritual walk God has called me to in my daily choices and I see the carnal side of life verses the spiritul side of life. Through every storm...I see the silver lining. I see the lessons being taught. I see the joy, I am standing in the peace. Yesterday was my hardest day ever in over 5 years. I gave up in the natural/human side of life, why continue trying, I wondered....God did not give up on me. He was right there. Through my tears, I reached out to Godly counsel and had a wonderful conversation with a friend from MyChurch, Valarie who lives in the same area. God then sent one more person, then in a hour a third person, Steven Anthony from MyChurch. The perfect three for me today. God has perfection in the number three, the Trinity is in three...completion, a perfect unity, all we need. God proved over and over He was there for me every step of the way. As I day dreamed on the swing out side, I wondered if this was how Jesus felt when He asked...Why have you forsaken me? God was always there...This was part of His plan...His will...that HAD to be fulfilled. It may be equivillent to one having to sit down and finally tackle the financial mess in their life. Or to come to the realization that a addiction has a stronghold in their life. The desperation is clear, the direction and what is happening is not clear...BUT it is clear to God. It was not confusion, just not a clear direction. As I cried out to the Lord, immediately 10 storms dissolved. I knew He was standing in the middle and saying on my behalf..."peace, be still" Within minutes life started reappearing to me...people who had caused conflict suddenly became friendly, financial problems dissolved, the ramifications from moving disasters were clipped, a loved one did not run-away from home, another loved one had peace about her newly found cancerous situation, Some of my property that was broken after the move seemed less important to me, a realization of the lack of urgency in job hunting became evident, many people being mean with their comments or actions stopped when I guess it was God that reminded them I am only in this refuge area in my life due to the cancer I had, two relationships were restored when a lie that one told was brought to light, ....the list could still go on.....God and I have adopted a standard prayer that had a list of meanings and is now a complete sentence between us..."Beyond Hard" Is life beyond hard for you? God is beyond faithful! He will never leave us nor forsake us. This too shall pass. |

| Thanks so much for the post. Yes, sometimes life is "beyond hard"...but I always think about what Jesus went through on the cross for me and my "beyond hards" become trivial. God is faithful, trustworthy, and always in the midst of our storms........I praise Him! |

| I will say this to you! It is darkest just before day break. If you hold on to the promise(s) of God He will hand you the answer. Hold steady to the Hand of God!! Good Morning, Cheryl! |

It marked my path until that day when Jesus came my way......never again would destruction be in the way....for the King saved the day......a lamp unto my feet and direction from the past...following would be marked as He taught my life class....with trust, I held His hand, for I knew He has the way.....being Truth and Life.....we gently swayed......dancing through this time together...I knew this would end....I am waiting for the shoe to drop for it always has.....He looked at me....dripping in love and care.......I saw then that this was not the same.....there was no danger here.
Taken from your blog! You wrote it!
I love you!!!! |

I expect that "beyond hard" doesn't begin to explain what you've been going through :) I took a God-imposed break from MyChurch so I wasn't aware you were missing until lately. Praise God for moving quickly on your behalf. Amazing how much He loves us, isn't it? |
|

((((((Cheryl)))))))))) Jesus is our Anchor in the storm! YES He is always there in the midst of it.
LOVE U!!!!!! |
