The card!

I received a card in the mail this week from Susan. Wow it couldn't have come at a better time. I have been so "thrown" into my work and personal things going on in my life that I haven't been looking at the important things. I failed at that point of handing it over to God. I was hanging onto to much worry and I shouldn't have been. I was disappointed in myself that I didn't put my trust in God, which is what I should have done all along. I struggled with praying for myself and reading HIS word and this discouraged me even more.

Susan sent me a card and this is the verse she wrote in it

"From the end of the Earth, I will cry to you, When my heart is overwhelmed Lead me to the rock that is higher than I"
PS 61:2

She wrote much more that truly touched my heart. But what really hit home for me was something she enclosed in the card that had deep meaning to her. I honestly don't know Susan that well and for her to give me something that obviously means something to her tore me up. When I first got the card, I read it and started to cry. Then I felt guilty because I felt like I haven't tried to get to know Susan better. When I read the card again today, I realized that this is the start of a new beautiful friendship that God had planned.

Susan, thank you so much for taking the time to reach out to me when I was so down. Thank you for praying for me and my family, thank you for showing me just what I needed to see and most of all thank you for having the faith that I didn't have.
