I have to post this while it's fresh!  If I wait 'til tonight, I'm sure I'll forget a few things.

The Lord has been pouring out blessing upon blessing on my life.  Almost too numerous to mention.  The most recent?  An unexpected visit from my dear friend, Dawn!  We were emailing back and forth a bit last night and I brought her up to speed on current events in my life.  Well, I was just about to rinse out another paint brush when the doorbell rang.  Lo & behold, there was Dawn with outstretched arms!  She came for no other reason that to give me a great big squeeze...what a peach!!

Of course, she said she could only stay a minute but does it ever turn out that way with two women?  We blasted through about five or six topics as quickly as we could, then she was on her way.  Before she left, she clued me in to a church close by that I think I'll be checking out this weekend.  What really got me interested was her mentioning an upcoming Sunday school class for women.  A John MacAruthur study!  Now THAT sounds more like me...you can have your Beth Moore!

So, as you can see, God's got my back!  He has provided me with comfort, friendship, love, peace, patience, joy...sounding familiar???  Fruits of the Spirit ringing any bells?  It's amazing what complete surrender will do for one's life. 

Yes, God is amazingly good!  Even in adversity...especially in adversity!!!
