Well, my friends, you are wonderful. You have been praying for me. There's no doubt in my mind.
This morning I had no trouble remembering today's new verse. Easy peasy. Amazing.
It was one of those mad-dash homeschooling days with a four hour theater rehearsal plunked smack dab in the middle. It was the kind of day when I usually feel flustered and slightly overwhelmed and I forget something important and I'm late. The kind of day when I am not exactly sweet and patient at all times.
Our girl got all her school work done before we left, and we got to the rehearsal on time. And I didn't have to put on my grumpy Mama voice. Amazing.
While passing the time waiting for her rehearsal to finish, we went to the library, did some shopping, went to the park... and all the while I had a song running through my head. Except the song had no tune. Just words...
... for I know that this will turn out for my deliverance through your prayers and the provision of the spirit of Jesus Christ...
Where there had been a constant distracting fuzziness of how will I remember all these things I need to do and think and write there was now a steady press of...
...according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will not be put to shame in anything, but that with all boldness, Christ will, even now, as always, be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death...
And more. Verse after verse after verse. Words that I had struggled so very hard to find, were now flowing through my mind like a river. I marveled at this. I am still marveling. Marveling at your prayers and the provision of the spirit of Jesus Christ. Amazing.
.... I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always offering prayer with joy in my every prayer for you all...
Never would I have imagined some of these verses being able to apply so specifically to my situation.
Amazing.
Thank you, friends. And thank you Lord.
Did you figure out that the verses were Philippians 1:3-4, Philippians 1:19, and Philippians 1:20 ?
