Trials and Triumphs

Our pastor this morning was talking about God's hands and the different ways that we can view them and I thought I would share it.
"I picture God's hands as..A. Strong hands to hold us
B. Soft hands to comfort us and to catch us when we fall
C. Big hands to handle all our problems
D. Silent hands to handle us when we think we don't need God's help.
E. Cupped hands to protect us
While I took a shower this morning, God spoke to me. I have felt very much alone and haven't felt like he's been near in a long time. My Christian life was feeling different for a while. I didn't feel "on fire" for God anymore. I had been going through this trial with my baby and didn't see that I needed to grow. I forgot or refused to believe that a trial like this could help me to grow. He spoke through the Holy Spirit to me and told me exactly how he was going to heal my heart. I just bawled my eyes out. Then I went to church and this message on God's hands was unbelievable. I'm on fire again, renewed, and my cup is refilled! We had the best music selections- some of my favorite songs and like Grandma says, my eyes were washed with many tears. "Here I am to worship" and "Heart of worship"- it was unbelievable. And Tayton was able to go to the nursery half way through and did just fine. The day could not have been anything other than God's plan. So for those of my family that sensed the prayer I needed and prayed, thank you!!
