It's amazing how God uses us, eh?!! :) I shouldn't be so surprised. This morning was a very sensitive heart morning for me. I came in to work and my Pastor had left me a beautiful  Thank you card. It said, "Michelle, you are appreciated! Thanks for your peace and gentle spirit you bring to the office! Praying for you Rob & Nikki, that she will find her true self in Christ"... Ok, so that blew it. Glad I came in early and was all alone cuz I cried like a baby. Then I checked my email and someone had sent something with a video in regards to our service men & women serving overseas. It was beautiful, then again, I cried like a baby. One nice thing of working at the church (and I am early and all alone) I was able to go up in to the sanctuary and kneel before the cross and talk with God. Tears in my eyes, I prayed and shared, and layed down my burdens, and then asked God to use me.. Little did I know it was going to be soooooo FAST! ;) Not too long later I got a call from a distraught mother needing to talk with the Pastor, because her young son was talking about suicide and wanting to die... Ding Dong!! Is this not the scenario I just went through, except the hospitlization part... Whoa!! I was able to share with her a little bit what was going on and how we needed to thank God for showing us that this was going on. I was able to pray with her and also get her in conact with Pastor to arrange some counseling. I told her to contact me anytime if she needed to talk and that I would continue to pray for her and her son. I am a firm believer that if God brings you to it, He'll bring you through it!!! Stronger, too. So, if it is His Will that, even tho I am still raw, to help someone else going through this, than Here I Am Lord! :) Out of all this terrible hurt, pain, sorrow, etc. I know that God can turn it around for good. Hallelujah!! :)
