I am Truly Humbled

First of all let me say that when I started writing this blog, I did out of a curiosity. I have said it before and I’ll say it again…I’m a blog junky, and I don’t really know why. I never read the newspaper, but I have a few blogs that I read daily. And since I love to talk (just ask anyone that knows me) I can talk on the phone like a teenage girl….to anybody, so I figured I would throw my hat in the ring. I could have never anticipated what happened yesterday.

Most people want to know that they matter, I think we can all agree on that, but ask any Christian and they just want to be used by God. To know that God used you to speak to someone else is powerful. Lets back up in time to yesterday at lunch. I’m going in a restaurant to meet some customers and my phone rings. Its my crazy, beautiful, and unhitched sister (I love ya girl), anyway she says you've got a comment that you need to read immediately. Well I couldn't right then, but after lunch I got out the laptop and sat in my truck with my Verizon wireless card and checked the post. As I read what Cynthia wrote I sat there and cried. The reason being, I had deleted certain parts of that post 3 times and I kept coming back to it. I felt the Spirit prompting me to put it in. And it was just what Cynthia needed to hear. If you haven’t read Cynthia’s comment from yesterday here it is:

Thank You so much for this. I read your blogs as often as I can and sometimes play catch up. You may not understand that the words you speak are exactly what I needed today. I have had a mountain in the bedroom for years. Mine was not a pile of laundry awaiting my attention. Instead it was a mountain of loneliness that I cry over each night. God has been a major surgeon in my life in the past month. He has removed people and things from my life that would have caused spiritual death. I had been headed down the road of destruction when I called on HIS name. My Jesus has delivered me and forgave me. It is a hard walk downhill just as it was going up. I had a friendship with the opposite sex that you were talking about. I sought out council with him and did not realize the danger in it. I had made him my emotional and spiritual helpmate. God corrected me fast and brought it to our attention that we both were being disobedient. The Lord is my helpmate and my husband. Thank you again for this message. Be encouraged and continue to minister to those who read. I am encouraged that this was confirmation that God is still removing mountains.

Cynthia, first of all let me say thank you for your kind words, but it was all God. The best part is that I have no idea who you are, but I do know that you matter to God and he used me to speak to you through a blog. I’ve got to tell you I am still floating. To think that God used me is truly overwhelming. We all need encouragement daily, and we are called to help each other, but when it happens it can catch you off guard. I am just glad that I listened to Him yesterday morning. Cynthia you are not alone in the daily struggle, we all fight our demons daily, but know that me and Jesus love you. I will add you to my daily prayers as I’m sure the other people who read this will do as well. Welcome to the family.

Have a Blessed Day!!!
