Praises to an Awesome Father

They say the Father works in mysterious ways, and that you should expect the unexpected. But with God, all you can do is hang on for the crazy awesome roller coaster ride He's put you on. Trust me though, it is all with good intentions that He does the things He does.

I found out earlier today, to my sadness, that I will not be YouthWorksing for God.  At least not this summer.  And, like the blogger I am, I posted this news to my other blog.  Read it if you want - I won't reiterate it here as it's readily available just a click away.

But someone actually posted a comment to my post.  I rarely get comments, so I'm always thrilled when I do.  Usually though, it's someone I know.  This time it wasn't.  So what else did I do?  Promptly went and read some of his blog, of course.

To this date, his most recent post was about that of the day he was going to take his life.  But then God intervened.  I will not share his whole story; you can read it in his own words here. I was completely blown away. Completely and utterly.

Just when I think my world, as it was, has come to an end (not getting the job was a big letdown in many ways), God immediately works again as only He can, introducing me to other believers whose faith is (I feel) so much greater than my own.  But I would have it no other way.  They are an inspiration and a true Spirit presence in my life.

I am not going to bed tonight depressed, as I might have done.

No, tonight, I am going to bed singing praises to God the most High, and to our Savior who has never forgotten us.

Blessed be the Name of the LORD!
