Theres always a special purpose somewhere for someone that has walked into your life. May it be brief or long term, they have impacted me in someway. Maybe a smile,a kind email or word, or picture of their child..something to make me smile in return and lighten my day. One time ,someone surprised me with some small crochet books for me that they had searched for in some grocery aisle. Such a small gesture, but to this day, warms my heart. I had someone in my life at one time that even now seems to impact it in a major way. Before, in giving me the desire to become a better person, to know God even more. To now,opening my world to all of my failures and things I had missed. Its an ever process to be the proverbs 31 woman, and at times I can be completely oblivious to whats going on around me..ok a lot ;) But with their words and Gods movement in my life, I felt the cloud of oblivion lift away from me. I saw before my eyes the things I had missed. I felt sickened at how I showed such lack of caring. To have the most important person in your life but be focused only on what was around you. That was the same with my kids,family, God. So wrapped up in my own world,work,etc, I was too busy to really spend time with them. To connect one on one. To really listen. I felt sadness, desperation..can I ever change? Can I fight this cloud of oblivion so it doesnt happen again? I felt defeated...felt such a task impossible. My moms soft words over the phone gave me hope and helped to dry my desperate tears. Jill, we cannot change who we are, but God can. God can. If we but have faith of a teeny tiny mustard seed and can move mountains, but of course I can, with the power of God by my side, change! How? Every day! Every day, on my knees, asking for a renewal of heart. Every day,ready to turn my life over to Him. Does it work? Yes..I have felt the calm wash over me when I felt my frustrations rise. Felt peace when times of depression threaten to hover over me. Felt my childs words of love wrap around my heart when I felt like I was failing. God gives us these moments to pull us through. To lift us up. Oh my dearest Father, my world was empty until I let You in..I thank you ever more for being my rock in this falling world. For bringing people into my life to help me to learn and become more of the woman you desire of me.. 2 Chronicles 7:14 ESV If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
