The Wonders of my Redeemer

I cannot express how awesome and wonderful my Savior Jesus Christ is. I was having a hard time lately, thinking about some things. But this night while we were singing praises to our Lord during Vespers, Jesus really spoke to me. He spoke in my heart, and told me that He was going to use me and use my past. My story and my life will be used to glorify my Savior and my God.

God truly directs our steps and uses both the good and bad that happens in our lives.
He let me understand that, that things had to happen the way they did. I mean, I don't know all the details of how He will use me or His specific plan for my life. However, I do know that He knows. And that gives me excitement and peace.

May the Lord bless you all abundantly, as you find peace in knowing that God has a plan for you...'For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."' -Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)

I love you and miss you,

I am so glad that you have heard the Lord speak. I know the Lord has great plans for you. I have always known this. I am glad you now know it. You are the most special person and God and I love you so very much. You are where you are supposed to be- learning the things you are supposed to know, to experience. Israel, China, these are where you are to go to learn about the plight of the people and how God has planned for you to help them. God in His infinite wisdom chose you for the great and wonderful. You are up to the task with His help- always knoww that. And always know that I will be here for you if you need a physical hug or encouragement, or anything.
You are so very loved.

"Wonderful, merciful Savior
Precious Redeemer and friend
Who would have thought that a lamb could Rescue the souls of men
Oh, You rescue the souls of men"

What a wonderful God we serve. How he can make Himself known to us daily. I am assured that God will use both of you in a mighty way. I have told that to Claire many, many times.

Yes, you are loved. Both of you.

Praise God~~kathy
