Fading…to Connecting…

This is a follow-up to my previous blog titled “Fading…” I am extremely blessed by God and He is ever-present I know this by His wonderous works of grace and mercy.  Yet, knowing all these things I still feel the pressures of this life I live here on earth. I want to be very authentic when sharing my thoughts and yes, today was very dark and scary to read but trust me, it was exactly what I was feeling when I wrote it.  Two of my oldest and dearest friends reached out to me as soon as they read my words, tears immediately welled up and I could feel their love surrounding me and I knew I was not alone, God had provided for my needs at that very moment.  I never meant to cause any troubles to my readers.  Margaret and Nancy, your friendship has remained strong and special over the years…I love you both immensely! And, Pastor Michael your support and prayers are felt, thanks.  After, exchanging text messages and a phone call I knew I needed to follow-up and tell you that I know and believe God is bigger and stronger than anything in this world, I knew that truth while writing but writing it down got it out of my head, my authentic message to everyone reading this is “God is good, God is good all the time!” I also want to thank a special friend and her silent strength and endless prayers and reminds me, that being me as ok.  Place your trust in God always and most especially when nothing makes sense and the tunnel has gone dark.  Nancy reminded me of one of my favorite passages, “Jeremiah 29:11-14 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back from captivity…”
