amazing work

No, not amazing work by me. Or by others. But by God.

God has been doing some AMAZING work lately!

I have now adopted a term that I have heard a friend of mine use many times but never really connected to it. Megan K, I hope you don't mind me stealing your term...it now makes TOTAL sense and I felt them more than EVER!

The God bumps (I've also heard them referred to as the "glory bumps")....these would be the little goosebumps you get all over your arms or body when something touches you, shocks you, or just takes over all of your emotions....and you KNOW it was only God who could have accomplished this.

The God bumps have hit me like crazy a lot lately.

God is working his plan - one that began with a little girl named Cora (and quite possibly it really began way before her)

Stretching me

Humbling me

Giving me an opportunity to grow that I've never had before

"Shouts of joy and victory resound in the tents of the righteous: "The Lord's right hand has done mighty things!"
Psalm 118:15

"Whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us." Romans 5:1-5


Have a BLESSED holiday weekend!

Brought tears to my eyes. I thought of that very verse (Romans) just this morning. I am feeling pretty choked up about it all. Praise God from whom ALL blessings flow!
