Last Sunday Morning I went to church expecting to hear another sermon on the Devil .I sat through church mesmerized by the Word of God and how through out history Satan has walked this Earth to steal, kill and destroy. I left church with goose bumps and tachycardia. That message resounded through my mind all week,as God showed me time and time again, His presence in my life. Today , I went to church with a heavy heart for the pastor and his family. Pastor Ferrell Hardison and his wife Millie , lost their son this week, and I knew that church would be sad and difficult. But GOD showed up. I saw today that GOD is present in all things.He is present in the good times and bad.Today,he showed up in the valley. As Pastor Hardison spoke this morning about how GOD had never left him in this valley. I knew just what he meant. When my brother died , I felt like the world had ended. My heart was crushed. I remember Beth Hunnicutt calling me and praying with me. I remember crying and crying until my heart felt as if it would burst. When I reached out and called on Jesus, He was there. He filled my heart with a song that I can still hear today -Turn your eyes upon Jesus,look full in His wonderful face, and the things of Earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace. I left church today with my heart pounding and with goosebumps....... God is there in that valley, walking right by your side, towards that next mountain in the distance. He will never leave you or forsake you. What a beautiful promise. I pray Gods peace and Gods strength on the Hardison family this week. There are no words for that kind of pain but there is a loving God who has been there and will be there through it all.
