I had felt the Lord tugging at my heart to do this for a few weeks..Yesterday, I did...and thanked God that I finally walked in obedience. I felt Him speak to my spirit, letting me know that I may not know where these ladies 'are' right now, but He did,,and He would touch them...It is amazing how a 'simple' email or letter, or gesture can have such an impact on someone...Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11857554289543670693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689868815257965373.post-78429948893834411632009-09-25T08:25:32.425-04:002009-09-25T08:25:32.425-04:00I am smilingggggg :) I felt like you were with me ...I am smilingggggg :) I felt like you were with me on Wednesday!!!<br />Sharing and caring can make such a impact on us sometimes just at the right time. The book marker I sent to you, I sent to another friend the next day, It was on the Armor of God, I knew she would like it very much, but what I didn't know was how much I touched her how I reached out to her heart.<br />On Wednesday, I was sitting here at work, and in walks a Florist, asked to speak to "ME", and had 2 arrangements. I was sooooooo excited, The card on it read "Thanks for always being my friend!" "I Love you very much"<br />It wasn't flowers per say it was edible arrangements. But she never signed her name, But I knew where it came from. <br />Sometimes out of the clear blue, our hearts can reach out to someone and not even knowing they are stressed or down or what may be going on and put a smile on there face, a lift of there shoulders, a reminder of our Lord and how much he Loves you, ORRRR just letting them know YOU are thinking of them or praying a prayer for them. It can do so much for someone!! <br /><br />It's really called "LOVE"!!!<br /><br />I was going to write about this, but I know I can't put it in writing like you do, wowwwwww so awesome! Your scriptures were so perfect. <br /><br />Sometimes I think it's like a test, like our hearts are being tested, and to see how willing of a heart we have. <br /><br />As far as leading someone to the Lord, I never push the issue, but it seems like there are so many lost souls, I find them everywhere, sometimes we will have 4 or 5 in a week, sometimes 1 a month, but I know when we get our church we will have extreme amounts, these will be days of pure Joy, Amen!!<br /><br />This as always is a great post :)<br />You always know how to reach to my heart, I Love You my friend, sister in Christ.<br /><br />Have a Beautiful, Blessedddd and Joyfilled Weekend.<br /><br />Hugggggggsss :)Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292404509675099875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689868815257965373.post-31544034529534339942009-09-24T22:58:03.083-04:002009-09-24T22:58:03.083-04:00I have missed you, Paula, dear...and your willing ...I have missed you, Paula, dear...and your willing heart.

Thanks for the encourag...That's awesome Paula! Thanks for the encouragement to be planting seeds. I spoke with a coworker today about a situation she is going through that is very difficult. Our situations are somewhat similar, but the big difference is that Evan and I have Christ to help us through. After our talk I thought about how I mainly just listened, and tried to give grace, love and compassion in my glances and responses. Afterwards I was hoping that I said enough, gave enough grace and truth with what we exchanged. The phrase that came to my mind is this: "They will not care how much we know until they know how much we care." That really comforted me. I do pray for more oppurtunities and boldness to go forth. In that moment all my troubles seemed to disappear as I realized that God has strategically placed me at this job so that I can show and be Jesus to my coworker. He picked me. Can you believe it? Don't answer that. :) I know we all feel that sometimes, but we are His treasure and He loves us enough to use us even while we are goign through our own "stuff". Sometimes I truly believe it helps our own stuff to be there for others. Love you Paula. Thank you for sharing and giving me an oppurtunity to write my experience out. Toodles. :) <br /><br />Oh, by the way...as I was reading your email to your coworker I truly sensed God's wording all over it. I can tell you have grown in your walk and it is so exciting!!! Keep climbing up sunshine mountain my friend! Blessings!!!<br /><br />Just something else that came to mind...I want to keep planting seeds until the Lord brings the harvest. In His time He will make all things beautiful. In His time!!!Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06298677165838555844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689868815257965373.post-86478021360467439752009-09-24T18:54:54.256-04:002009-09-24T18:54:54.256-04:00I loved this!!

Perfect timing...just came back from my bible study group - coincidence? No, I don't think so. Some of the things you mentioned have been coming up in my life also; a common thread God is weaving in many women's hearts. He is definitely doing a work here; stirring us to speak, to share, to not hold back His love. Thank you for being faithful and sharing, for being honest, for listening to His voice and for allowing Him to use you. <br />His richest blessings,<br />CharlotteCharlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11179941572125296102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689868815257965373.post-90733303308518371182009-09-24T14:20:53.177-04:002009-09-24T14:20:53.177-04:00Yay!
