It's so hard sometimes to surrender our will to His, isn't it? I was just feeling discouraged that I'm feeling so sluggish and fog is taking over my brain at times. But God is still good, right? May we rest in His goodness and His plans for us!

And I am glad that you understand the depth of that surrender to Him in the hard places too. Because of your obedience to trust Him there, I have been encouraged to keep trusting Him in my places of sacrifice too. I know that HIS Faithfulness in the past has become a sort of beacon to help me here, but so has the support of my friends who are walking this similar path now. --Blessings and Hugs to you, my friend! xoxoBettieGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01184677704960428160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4123043706114460279.post-63636307912842583202016-10-24T15:43:04.867-07:002016-10-24T15:43:04.867-07:00Dear Bettie, what a wonderful story of redemption ...Dear Bettie, what a wonderful story of redemption and grace given to you as your heart chose the challenging path of obedience to God's will! How hard and painful a choice it must have been to leave your infant son in the care of another, while your own heart was torn in the service of others. But oh how lovely to see how God opened your eyes to the birth of a new son also birthing fresh blessings for you!<br />I have been in your shoes here: "And my heart tucked away the years that I felt had been eaten by the locust" while I waited to see how God was going to restore the years that the locusts had eaten, words that were given to me as portent and promise. My mind envisaged a complete physical healing and restoration of joy. What was I actually given? An invitation to years of wandering in wilderness, walking a dark soul night pathway and meeting with my Saviour powerfully there. Now He has unexpectedly restored my creativity and given me a writing ministry beyond my wildest dreams! Keep listening, sweet friend. It is always worth the sacrifice it takes. Blessings and hugs. xoxoJoy Lentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03486637586238798088noreply@blogger.com
