You make me brave

The other day I was having a bad day at work..the type of Bad day where you wonder what you just did since it was so busy..and you question if you are supposed to continue. Don't get me wrong..I LOVE my job but on days like that it's VERY difficult..this job is probably the most stressful but most rewarding!!! I get in the car after my crazy shift and this song immediately comes on "you make me brave" by Bethel music..Sooooo AWESOME!!! At once I felt peace and felt HIS strength to continue in doing what He has called me to do!! Also a few days prior I had a patient that was having bad anxiety..started an iv on her and some blood had dripped onto the sheet and it formed a PERFECT heart!!!I told her that's Jesus saying he LOVES you..It was so AWESOME!!!

struggling

I've been recently struggling with things (how America is in a downfall, things happening overseas, all the negative , etc). It's easy to get down with world events but we need to remind ourselves that GOD is on his throne..he is still in control No matter what is happening around us..It's easy to lose sight of him and the enemy wants you to focus on the negative instead of God and all the positive. We must stay strong especially now. Anyway, I was really feeling down and last night I just prayed that God would send his angels down and comfort me..around 130am I felt my bed move at the head of my bed..i looked over and my husband was sound asleep. I asked for God to reveal himself but I just felt his peace (good enough for me..I don't need to "see" to be comforted). So then I met with one of my friends/team member and she said her overall volume is 333. She had no idea that's the number God communicates with me to let me know he's near. I felt so much better..sometimes we just need him to show us or tell us whatever so we can keep on going..ask and you shall receive!!!

Mary night

A few weeks ago we had "mary night" ..a night of reflection /worship/communion. My mom just retired from the school and has been having some difficulty adjusting to being "retired" and letting go /grieving over her job. It's hard when you work for so many years and think "now what?". Anyway..It was an awesome time and we discussed letting go of our fears and trusting God. We each were given a verse to read and I got Jeremiah 29: 11 which was my verse at my walk to Emmaus. My mom got Romans 4: 5 "However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness." WOW!! Everyone that was there got a verse that meant something to them or ministered to them in such a great way! At the end, we were talking to one of my friends and she was telling me how she had lily in her group for VBS and how lily shared the story how my mom was healed 6 years ago. My mom and I then proceed to walk into the living room to gather our things and on the tv (she had it on christian music channel)...the song that started was the song that ministered to me while Mom was ill 6 years ago from 10th avenue north (hold my heart).. We both instantly were overwhelmed and then i started to leave and another lady that was there shared her story how God conveyed to her to be still and know he is God...which was what Jesus conveyed to my mom when he healed her 6 years ago! I felt like God was wanting to remind my mom what he did for her 6 years ago..that he is the HEALER and he is her comforter etc..That all she has to do is keep her eyes on Him and he will direct her paths.. She did feel better after that..sometimes we all need reminders of what God has done for us especially when you are down.
