A Really Great Day

I just want to praise God for such a great day! We do have to remember that The Harbor is not a done deal and they have never said they would take Mike yet, but it sure seems that the Lord is moving the mountain out of our way.

So many great things occurred today.

1. I went through a mountain of mail, papers, and stuff and feel that weight significantly lighter.
2. Wrote some emails, notes, and letters that I've had on my list for a while - lighter still. 
3. I made a decision that had to be made regarding some issues with District 19 and now a strained relationship there seems much better - much lighter. 
4. Received the call from The Harbor which seems to be moving in a forward progression - so light I was jumping and squealing!
5. Planted and watered most of the remaining plants that needed to be planted - coming back to earth.
6. Attended a brain injury support group in Midlothian - support from those who know - more lightening.

I had attended a support group in Farmville a few times, but it disbanded. My cousin, PJ, Mike and I went to one in Hopewell one time, but it took over an hour to get there. Just a few weeks ago, I realized that the Powhatan group, actually meets in Midlothian at a church that is an easy drive for me and only about 35 minutes away. (Woodlake UMC off of Rt. 360) I am so glad I went. I felt very comfortable with the group and although I didn't say anything but to introduce myself and state my high & low (everyone did this around the table), it was comforting to hear others express the same frustrations that I feel. The same feelings of being overwhelmed as a conservator, or dreading the mail cause there may be more forms to fill out, bills to pay, hoops to jump through, etc. I'm excited to become part of this group and already look forward to next month when I can go again.

Again, I want to thank my Heavenly Father for a very blessed day filled with hopeful expectations of greater things to come. I'm cautiously optimistic. He has put a new song in my heart today. 

Psalm 40:1-3

I waited patiently for the Lord;

he turned to me and heard my cry.

He lifted me out of the slimy pit,

out of the mud and mire;

He set my feet on a rock

and gave me a firm place to stand.

He put a new song in my mouth,

a hymn of praise to our God.

Many will see and fear the Lord

and put their trust in Him.

That would be the best outcome of all - if somehow, through our story, many would come to put their trust in the Lord. I saw a billboard tonight that said "It's all about Jesus." Amen!
