My hope and joy won't be stolen
Hi Everyone, I want to share this evening some things that the Lord is doing in me in the middle of a storm. Today my son who left our home last April on a bad note, met with me to talk. His fiancé came as well. My relationship with him has stayed fairly open since he He left, but there has been almost nothing between him and his dad, although his dad has reached out multiple times over the past year. Our conversation was good. The Holy Spirit guided my words. I believe hearts were touched and am trusting God used today in part of our journey towards restoration. I came home to my husband who was visibly not well. The turmoil he's been experiencing was evident, and he has hardly spoke all day. I've sat with him quietly and prayed over him all day. Normally, this would change my outlook and I would have allowed it to steal my hope and my joy. But tonight, I am not living there. I am choosing to trust God. And I have peace. Not only that, but the Lord has given me a song. I have been writing all night. It has been years since I've written songs of worship, but tonight it has flowed from heart to paper. I believe God is going to continue this and I am grateful. I am sitting tonight in gratitude. I hope this may encourage someone tonight. Praying for everyone who is a part of this group.
