Letters From The Heart 22

Happy New Year!

2009

It's been on my heart for sometime now to start reading passages from the bible to mom everyday. And from time to time I would think of asking her and this morning I prayed and asked God to give me the words; so I went upstairs and I said "mom I need to ask you something, I would like to spend some time reading God 's word to you everyday, it's important to me." and she responded very well to my request. The neat thing is later on when I went to check on her she told me that she had been thinking of asking me to do that very thing. This will be an important time for both of us and I thank God for His timing. I think the reason I hesitated to ask mom in the beginning of her stay here was probably because the timing was off, that's why I believe God had me wait. She wasn't ready and she could of told me no. I am usually the one who cannot wait especially if I see what good can come out of it but God has shown me in great detail how to wait on Him. Our intentions can be very good, our timing can be off. We must wait upon the Lord.

Tonight we prayed and I read to mom. I am starting in the Gospel of John. I look forward to our days to come so we can grow in our faith together. This is the best well spent time I have ever had with my mother and I am excited and come with great expectations from my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

I am so thankful...God is a God of restoration! He is the great Restorer and the Mighty Healer. He has restore my relationship with my mom and He has healed the hurt and pain and He has given me my mother. God does answer prayer.

Psalm 73:24-26 You will keep on guiding me with your counsel, leading me to a glorious destiny. Whom have I in heaven but you? I desire you more than anything on earth. My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; he is mine forever.
