God is SO sending me messages...

like this one that came through my sister in law, Christine, affectionately known as Weezy. I had read and heard so many times that God uses troubles to reveal himself to us, to draw us near to him. So many times that, although I thoroughly believed it, I got to the point where that thought just fell dead on my ears and in my heart. I knew it's truth but quit spending any time figuring out what it would look like or feel like. Well, if you've read my last couple of posts, you know what has been going on around here. I keep receiving a new word from God, and just when I need it. The song by Switchfoot, the song by MercyMe, the book Calm My Anxious Heart my friend Allison has been after me to read, the version of Psalm 23 and then this. This is awesome, which is an overused word, I know, but it truly applies here. This guy has a gift for speaking. Thank you, my Weezy, for letting God first breathe this into your spirit, and then sharing it with me. It is a little long, but I promise you will be blessed by watching this. May God hold you in his arms like a shepherd:

He takes care of his people like a shepherd.
He gathers them like lambs in his arms
and carries them close to him. Isaiah 40:11

Wow! I came across this same video a couple of months ago...during a time when I needed the assurance that God was taking care of me. I'm sorry now that I didn't pass it along to you then!

Oh, Katie, I didn't need it then. I'm sure it would have fallen on deaf ears.

Kristin, thank you so much for posting this tonight. That video is so powerful it had me in tears and is just what I needed tonight. Thank you.
