Thankful

I am reflecting today on my weekend. So busy and packed full of things, lots of boring, real life things, like cleaning house and laundry. Some fun things like hair design,color, and consultation for wedding hairstyles. Some inner strength requiring things, like helping a 19 yr old friend see that her life will be fine, better tomorrow than today, maybe not easier, but definitely better. Some parenting things like how many friends can stay over, is there enough food in the house for three 14 yr old  boys for the weekend, worrying about whether or not the 19 yr old is making safe choices in her desire to spread her wings. Lastly, getting the finally finished quilt in the wash so I can enjoy its crinkly goodness before it goes to its new owner (this occurred at midnight last night). Hmmm as I type this I am thinking I should be exhausted, but I am unusually refreshed. Looking back I know the exact moment that happened...11:47 am Sunday morning sitting in church, contemplating the message that has been shared about Believing God, not just IN Him, but BELIEVING HIM...God spoke to my heart, I have been troubled about a situation with my son and his unintentional wounding at the hands of a leader. The Lord reminded me that _______ may have lost relationship with my son, but the Lord has not. I cannot tell you how much that restored my soul. I BELIEVE God in this, and am so thankful for his promises that He speaks to my heart!
