It was last
Thanksgiving when I received a sign from God where he actually appeared to me
in my pellet stove. I posted a Blog about it and shared this same
picture. It was a memory I will cherish forever and be so grateful for
his blessings in my life. When He appeared, I was pretty distraught.
I won't go into great details, but just know I was dealing with something
personal that I just couldn't handle on my own any longer. Instead of
throwing in the towel and giving up, I turned to God. I talked to Him for
quite a while. Tears were shed, and in the end He gave me such peace.
When I saw His face appear in the pellet stove, I couldn't believe what I
was seeing. When I look at this picture now, it is still clear as day.
His head is turned; you can see one eye, His nose, mouth and even His
hair cascading around His face. He looks so solemn, and His message was so
clear. He took on my burden and lifted my spirits. He gave me
peace, and I knew He would make things right.
Yesterday, I was
reading the story in our book "Signs from God" about this very story,
and it was like a light bulb went off in my head and now this story is even
more memorable. It’s as if He wanted me to recognize His role again in
this situation so that I would continue to trust and believe that He is in
control! He still carries my burden so I don’t have to!
We've all heard
and I know we've written how things always happen for a reason and in His
timing. Well, He gave me peace and took my burdens back in Thanksgiving
to the point where I knew He heard me. But, like I said it's all about
the timing. It's not like things miraculously got better. In fact,
they actually got worse. I could have given up again, but instead I held
on and fought and continued to talk to God. Today, I realize that the
changes that finally started occurring in this last month were all part of His
plan. It took 10 months for Him to put things in place; certain events,
certain circumstances, certain people, and some heart felt conversations before
the changes started to occur. I know now
that things will continue to get better and better, and I can rest knowing that
He is working behind the scenes.
I feel so blessed and truly believe that God is in control
and as long as we believe and have faith in Him, He can move mountains! He can do what we cannot!
With God all things are
possible!
