Calvary's E-Mail.....

This is older, but still wanted to share. Felt like God needed to use this for someone today....






Whew! I have definitely been on the “ride of my life” since December 20th. I cried most all day, everyday since then until 3 weeks ago. That is when Ricky had to take a job out of town after being laid off. Some would wonder “where was God?”….Me, I just went to the bathroom and had a (as my Grandma Taylor would say) “come to meeting” talk with Jesus. There, I vented my frustrations, my anger, my disappoints, but most of all my LOVE for the Lord. I do love him so. I reminded Him, my Father, that even if he never showed up in my life again, I was going to keep praising HIM. Now, that is CrAzY praise! You heard me right! I have and will continue to Praise MY father in the storms of my life and this has been the largest, by far.

I want to thank you as my Calvary family for your obedience. No, I have not received thousands of calls and cards, but I have seen God move and work through you. I have seen you start to step out of your comfort zones to bless your brother and sisters. I have seen you pray with our children. I have seen your tears as you quietly fight for your life, your marriage and your children in the storms that you are facing. I have seen you rejoice with our new little ones and love on our elderly. I have seen you fight to raise your hands in praise. You encourage me. You give me hope. You help me trust…….

I don’t feel the rain, but I can finally smell it. It’s coming! If you get this e-mail and feel like you have hit rock bottom, PLEASE let me know. I want to pray for you. I am not a pastor or a philosopher, but I am a child of God; A child of the most High God. I want to help hold your arms up as you struggle to praise and grow stronger in your walk with the Lord.
