Day 177 :O)

I am so grateful for strong women of God that surround me to keep me accountable and headed in the right direction.  They really do make walking this walk a lot easier.  For anyone who doesn't have Christian mentors, ask the Lord to send you an on fire, born again Christian mentor to disciple you.  It has made all the difference in the world to me. 

Because I had strong women that came along side of me when I was going through a rough spot yesterday, I was able to be where I needed to be today to be God's hands and feet. 

I was on facebook for a few minutes and a guy that used to be a client of mine had friend requested me a couple of days ago, so I added him.  While I was scrolling through I saw a post he had made had been commented on by a lady whose name I recognized.  I sent her a message asking her if she was the woman that baby sat my sister and I when we were little.  It turned out it was the same woman!  I got to chat with her for a few minutes and it was apparently clear that this was a divine appointment. :O)

She had recently gone through some difficult things and I was so blessed with the opportunity to pray with her to see God do a miracle in her life.  But before I asked her if I could pray with her, God kept speaking to my heart the scripture that says if someone gives even a cup of cold water to a child of God he or she will be blessed.  Now two things come to mind from this scripture:
                                  1) It reminded me that I was His child long before I even knew Him, when I
                                         was just a baby as a matter of fact.  And after the last few days I can use
                                         all the reminders of His eternal love for me as I can get.  I'm sure that we
                                         could all use those reminders.  Who has never felt unworthy of Christ's
                                         cross and the work that God has called them to do and the gifts that He
                                         has given to us?!!?!?! I mean really, let's be honest, everyone has been
                                         there!
                                  2) She will be blessed.  It is a promise not a maybe or an IF it's God's will... It
                                         IS His will that she be blessed!  So I don't have to worry about whether or
                                         not God heard me or if He will answer, I know that He will because His
                                         word says that she WILL be blessed.  God is not a man that He would lie. 

Isn't that incredible?!?!?!  I get to know what God's will is just by knowing Him and His word and I get to share it with others! I cannot wait to get the phone call confirming what I already know is happening!  I love being His princess, even when I act like an ugly stepsister some of the time! :o)

I am also grateful to all the people who helped me get here so that I could be there for someone else!
