Why should I feel discouraged
Why should the shadows come
Why should my heart feel lonely
And long for heaven and home
When Jesus is my portion
A constant friend is he
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches over me
I'm going to try to make this really quick and to the point today. Ha! Almost time to pick the kiddos up from school again. And that's where I begin today's blog…picking my kiddos up. Yesterday, I was driving down this long country road to pick the boys up from school and all I could do was smile from ear to ear. I was happy. The happy that only comes from the Lord.
At times, I still feel the aches of the past. So discouraged, not understanding why the dark shadows seemed to follow me everywhere, my heart so empty, wondering if I would ever experience joy on this side of heaven ever again.
Now I know the answer. Yes, absolutely, YES! I was traveling down this road only God could have put me on. This road I didn't even know existed. This road of so many opportunities. This road that has led me to ministering to women and children in ways that I never imagined. A way that only God could know would complete me.
I received this email…"Thanks a million! I know God sent you to me to organize these lessons based upon the knowledge and experience you have. Did you ever think that everything you have done so far in your life was to help me get this curriculum ready for God's kids?…and who know what else???"
My Response…"Not in a million years!"

Getting to love on people everyday right here on Lee Legacy Farm!!! What more could I ask for???
So guess what? I'm singing!
I sing because happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches ME
So very happy for you and the things you are accomplishing there. I completely agree with your friend. Only God could work in a way that this tiny random town you suddenly move to would host a woman writing a Christian curriculum, of which you just happen to have 20 years experience.
ReplyDeleteThank you, sister! God has been so good and gracious. I very thankful for the blessing he has rained down on our family.
