On this day the Lord has made . . .

As I was driving home from the grocery store I heard a man on the radio ask what we were leaving our children/grandchildren. He mentioned how he would choose, over any amount of money, the writings from his grandfather . . . if he had left any.

So, I have determined to create a diary/journal of what happened to me on this day(s) the Lord has granted me.

struck down

I had something happen to me that I never in a million years would dream would ever happen to me and I can't tell anyone or talk about it. That's what I thought, but then I remembered that my company offers Employee Assistance, so I called and requested the number of a Christian counselor. I talked with him last Tuesday. With God's help I was able to tell what happened and the man was kind enough to not show shock or any emotion. He sat with me and we worked on a plan. I loved how he made me see just how many resources I have at my disposal. Do you want to hear the best resource that he mentioned? Praying Friends.

So I have my friends praying.

He told me to tell the person that they needed to come in for counseling as well. I did that just now. They refused. I tried to be as stern as possible but they still refuse. I won't give up. I won't bother them but I won't give up.

After I hung up with this person I opened my computer screen back up and this is what I saw.




I took this as words from God. I'm not giving up. I am perplexed and I am deeply wounded but I am keeping my eyes on God.

Please pray.

When I said the counselor said that I had the best resource by having praying friends - the ultimate resource is God. In reading Psalms I have cried many tears hearing the love and comfort poured out in those Psalms.

The person who hurt me I love. I will always love. My prayers are for them so that they can find God and they can find forgiveness and they can find comfort and wisdom and strength. They are crying out in pain and they are seeking comfort but in all of the wrong places.

Please pray that they can come to the Lord.
