Today, before I hurry off to work this morning, I just want to thank so many of you for your love and prayers. Before I left home on Friday I printed off 31 pages of prayers, quotes, bible verses and encouraging words to hold with me as a reminder of God's love flowing through each of you - to me - a very ordinary girl on the other side of a computer screen. Thank you all for reminding me that I was surrounded in God's care, protection and security as I stepped out in faith and trusted Him. You were all a part of this journey and I pray the Lord will bless each of you abundantly for the very precious kindness you have shown me.
Your prayers were answered my sweet friends. Over the next several days I will share my journey with you. For today I want to encourage you that God IS ABLE! Believe that. Trust that. Regardless of how things look and as threatening as they may feel, God's Hand is guiding and He is in control.
With arms open wide my heart sings:
My faithful Father, enduring Friend
Your tender mercy is like a river with no wind
It overwhelms me covers my sin
Each time I come into your presence I stand in wonder once again
Your grace still amazes me
Your love is still a mystery
Each day I fall on my knees
'Cause your grace still amazes me
Your grace still amazes me
Oh patient Savior, You make me whole
You are the author and the healer of my soul
What can I give you Lord what can I say
I know there's no way to repay You only to offer You my praise
Your grace still amazes me
Your love is still a mystery
Each day I fall on my knees
'Cause your grace still amazes me
Your grace still amazes me
It's deeper, it's wider, it's stronger, it's higher
It's deeper, it's wider, it's stronger, it's higher
Than anything my eyes can see
Your grace still amazes me
Your love is still a mystery
Each day I fall on my kness
'Cause your grace still amazes me
Your grace still amazes me
(Phillips, Craig and Dean)

God is ABLE
I needed that reminder today as I struggle with a Pharaoh God has allowed in my life. You'll understand this more when you check your email.
God is ABLE!
Hallelujah!

With tears of JOY I rejoice with you and can't wait to hear all about it. It's so great to see how God has blessed you. It's just another reminder that I can cling to in those days when I myself have fears and doubts!
So glad you're home and will be sharing God's victory in your life with us!

Oh how I love those three words: God is able! Yes, indeed, He is MORE than able. He does more than we could ever imagine. Eph 3:20.
I'm so glad you were blessed with God's presence and He showered His love and peace on you.
Look forward to more.
I like your new pic on your profile. The previous one was a little dark and hard to see.
Love, Paula
