Testify Forever

I so often find myself testifying of God's love and grace and that's the way it should always be!

So much has happened over a period of 4-5 short years. I don't know where God is taking me but I sure am enjoying the journey. It has definitely had it's ups and downs. I have certainly shed my share of tears and then some. I pray for those lives which God has so graciously brought into and out of my life. Though I would treasure that they never leave, I realize sometimes I cannot control that. It breaks my heart but I pray for them daily. Through it all, I can't praise the Lord enough for carrying me through and never leaving me.

I have had so many people praying for me and encouraging me with advice, Scripture, and simply listening and crying with me. For them, I praise the Lord!

Here are some thoughts that I hope encourage you as they have me....

"What happened to you yesterday, however easy or difficult, was used by God to help prepare you for what He has for you today."-DaySpring Devotions

Jeremiah 33:3 " ‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’ :

My back hurts and as per my usual (if not earlier) time where I seem to get rather sleepy, I can't believe I am still up. I know, 10:00pm is early! but teachers hit the hay early and greet the morning sunrise. I've still got quite a bit of grading to do but I caught up on some administrative details which is important! Well weekends are different but anyhoo....I am blessed and thankful that the "joy of the Lord truly is my strength" and my smile has returned.

To help along your smile here's a wonderful student/teacher quote....

"Miss Schreck, what is your last name?"
My last name? My last name is Miss Schreck.
"Oh, I meant your middle name...."

PS the song "The Proof of Your Love" has been played in our chapel a lot lately....I love the line-"So let my life be the proof, the proof of your love!"
