A couple of weeks ago I was in the city. I decided to hit up some thrift stores since I was on a budget. One of my favorite things to do is go to the Christian bookstore called Mardels. I was listening to some worship CDs. I came across Smokies cd and wanted to get it but decided I should wait for my next check. Last week I had spent the night at my folks house. During the night my mom was in pain most of the night. Shes had 86 different tests done on her since April to determine if she is ready for surgery and to see if she has Cancer. The process has been unbelievable. Anyway, the next morning I checked on her and she was feeling a little better. I went in the living room and my dad was sitting there. He began to talk and I noticed his voice was shaky and his eyes were watery. My dad has never been one to show emotion. I can count on one hand how many times I have seen him cry in my lifetime. He shared how he felt bad seeing my mom suffer. He is still recovering from his heart attack last month. I sat there trying to process everything and digging deep to find the strength I needed to encourage my father. After he shared his heart he sat there in silence, I breathed in and thought Lord help me. I said these words to him Dad, we have been thru all kinds of hardships- being evicted, having a car repossessed, living by faith not knowing where the next meal would come, unemployment, being run off the road by a drunk driver and thru it all GOD HAS NOT FAILED US YET!!! As I left their house I was driving back to my house. My thoughts began to wonder and gravitate toward fear. I felt like taking my mind off things and decided to stop at the Goodwill store. I walked in the back and stood in one spot, I was looking for something, but just wasnt sure what it was. I wondered aimlessly around the store. I was about to leave when I stopped and looked to my right so I walked over to the cd section. I began to look at the stack of cds. I moved a stack over and right in front of my eyes was a Smokie Norful worship cd, low and behold it was even on sale. I bought and put it in for my drive home. When it came to #4 God IS Able I knew the Lord had directed my steps from even 2 weeks prior. You see the Lord knows what you need. He listens to you. He knew what I would need even before I asked. The words to this song breathed in to me the strength and courage I needed. One verse says God will not Fail-God is Able. Dont you Dare Give up or Give In God Is Able. As I was driving the presence of God filled my car and my heart. I cried to my hearts content and released the fear and received his Love. I wanted to share this with you. I dont know what your facing or dealing with but I do know that no matter what the problem is God is Able to help you.
