In my life, I can always be sure that when God works and answers prayers, there will be something following to challenge me to step further out of my boat, beyond my comfort zone for Him. I've learned in my walk with Him, to be ready for it, and be ready to do it.
Today is an example of that. Today has been one great big bundle of God at Ken and Cindylou's home.
First, the disability came through. Woooooohoooooooooo.......thank you Lord.
Then I'm cooking supper (dinner to some of y'all), glowing and praising God while doing it.....and the phone rings. I didn't recognize the last name......but answered anyway.
It's a family member of Ken's, who never, ever, ever liked me. We barely have spoken 2 minutes to each other in all our years....and they weren't nice words. They called to ask about Ken....ok. I'm leary and cautious. But, their voice sounds different, kinder, gentler.....hmmmm. Then I hear "I have MS"
Caution thrown to the wind......I talk about Ken's.....they have the same symptoms!
Well, our talk goes over an hour, Ken's supper was late, lol......and he had no clue who I was on the phone with.
They have no one. Alone. Welllllllllllllllllllllll, God, You sure threw away my oars with this call. Way out of my comfort zone. But, that's ok, it's all part of the journey. They're not going to be alone anymore! Thank you Lord for pulling me out into deep water :) |

God certainly took away your oar's on this one Cinder's. And talk about deep waters! Seems someone was steered right into your path.
Seems stranger how "not so nice words" in the past become somewhat gentle by the other party when the word "MS" manifests itself. As I've often said to people, never judge a person till you've walked a mile in their shoes, because one day you just might be wearing them. I know its going to be hard, but this is yours and Ken's time to shine through like its never done before. The symptoms maybe the same, but how you and Ken deal with it will be different. And that believe it or not will make the difference. I remember some time back I wrote "How Attractive Are You?" Somehow, and I don't know why, what you and Ken believe in will become attractive, and they will want what you've got. Does that make sense? |

| Oh and sometimes that's the way God does things my friend....That's why it behooves us to treat EVERYBODY right...and keep our mouths off of God's anointed. |

Wow!! Hey, is it worth it to be stricken with MS, in order to find God?
I say... YES!! So glad God used you in this person's life, CindyLou! In fact, maybe it could be said that Ken was stricken, so that YOU could introduce this family member to God? |

| Hard as it is, some of our greatest blessings occur when we get the courage to step out of our comfort zones! I, for one, like to hang on to the familiar, but know I must step out in order to be the witness God has called me to be. Sounds like things are going good for you and Ken, I'm so glad. Ken's family are blessed to have your understanding and encouragement |
