Each day brings with it a new set of challenges. When I was working, my schedule was always very busy, both in the amazing dental practices I was fortunate to work in, and years later in my design business. Now I find myself busy in other ways; living with my beautiful 83 years young Momma, missing my dear loving husband of 43 years who lives in heaven now, and preparing for a move back to our home state of Virginia, a place we lived for nearly 30 years. Life is different now...new places to visit, up coming surgeries for my Momma (cancer) and myself (not sure what will become of it.)
One thing is certain: our marvelous God never changes! I was a soloist for many years in our church in Virginia. I had countless opportunities to share my faith through music. The testimony of my heart has never wavered: 'Great is thy faithfulness oh, Lord to me.' There is a certain calmness to my spirit in knowing Him to be the source of my peace. The trials of life once consumed me causing my mind to spiral into nearly 3 years of despair. Depression was a dark tunnel of hopelessness due to medications I was taking for a major life threatening illness. During that time God impressed upon my heart the need to understand the hurting and desperate cries of the lost.
Be encouraged dear ones! There is a Saviour who is able and willing to do above and beyond whatever you can EVER hope for! I can truly testify to His abounding grace and love. Healing takes time and He is always available, day or night to hold your aching soul in His arms of love!
From the Bible: Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will tell you what he did for me. For I cried out to Him for help, praising Him as I spoke. If I had not confessed the sin in my heart, my Lord would not have listened, But God did listen! He paid attention to my prayer. Praise God, who did not ignore my prayer and did not withdraw His unfailing love from me. Psalm 66: 16-20.
Blessings! R.B.
