Thank you so very much for sharing your life stories and experiences in the format of writing. Today I read your article in “Hot Apple Cider”. It was an incredible direct miraculous answer to my prayers. It was like the very breath of God breathed through the words you wrote and melted the frosty layer of discouragement in my heart.
Only yesterday I had prayed and asked God to speak to me during this Christmas season as I have been very discouraged and frustrated. I am not doing “what I think” I am supposed to be doing in life and it is has been very difficult for me to keep believing that God’s plans and ways are better than mine.
The years have been going by and no doors have opened for the dreams God has placed in my heart. It seems like my years of training, learning and experience are such a waste. Many Christians do not understand what it is like for someone to seemingly sit on the shelf while others around them are excitedly living out the dreams God has given them.
Your article breathed the very reassurance of God into the deepest part of my soul. He does know what he is doing and his plans are better than mine. I am not alone in this experience and he chose to show me that through your article.
A day after my prayer, God gave me the Christmas gift I asked for in the form of your article. He gave me the reassurance that he does know what he is doing and that I am where I am supposed to be at in life. How I needed to be reminded that he knows what he is doing especially since I cannot see the big picture.
Thank you so very much for sharing your life. You truly are a blessing. I hope this note will somehow create in you the knowing that God uses you to bless others in ways you cannot see through your writing. Your writing time was and is not wasted. You are appreciated by the people who read your articles.
I pray God will richly bless you and your family!!
