God's Goodness!

Good morning everyone! I have more blessings to share. First of all, we traveled out of state to visit my husband's grandmother this weekend. Some of you may remember when I first posted about this, she had had a stroke and was paralyzed on her right side and the doctors said that her situation was very grave. Well praise God, Grandma is doing better! She turned 94 this past Wednesday and is now out of the hospital and into a nursing home for rehab. The droop on the side of her face is basically gone, now they are focusing on helping her learn to swallow again. My husband and I both feel better seeing her. She is doing Ok!! Second of all, you know we have been worried about one of our vehicles, which we desperately need due to my husband's job being 50 miles away. We knew we would need a new car soon, although we didn't know how we would pay for it. That poor car is on its' last leg...fine for local driving but a bit worrisome for more of a distance. Well there was a car that my hubby had been looking at that is in EXCELLENT condition and right in our price range. Our credit is rather poor so we would have need a co-signer for a loan...but don't you know that God made a way for us anyway? A relative lent us the money, which I in turn can 'borrow' from my retirement to pay them right back (we were afraid we wouldn't get it in time to get the car we wanted, that is why we borrowed it). The payment will be very low and we can pay it off any time! So today I wake up and do not have to worry about whether my husband will make it work safely! And on top of that you guys, I know that God is still working on me...my cousin had been on my mind even though I hadn't spoken with her for a couple of weeks...well she called this weekend and was telling me she had just totaled out her vehicle, and her fiancees' car is overheating and not safe to drive...so I let her borrow the car my hubby had been driving! I know God is working at me because I felt so good that I could help her out. We have been struggling and I have not been able to help folks as much as I would like at times, but I felt happy to be able to help her out, as if she hadn't made it work today she probably would have been fired from her job. I am glad that even while I am struggling God has helped me to still feel useful to someone else. Valena

Valena...what an awesome God we serve! He is showing you that His love is amazing and He is able to provide your needs and use you to provide others needs...we are the Body of Chirst and we can be used as His feet,hands and voice if we allow Him to. May the Lord continue to show Himself faithful as you seek His face and His ways. In Him, Joan M

God is an awesome, rigth on time, amazing God. I am so glad your dh's grandma is doing better. My mom had a stroke about 5 years aho(she was only 51) and it was so scary to see the sagging side of her face that she could not control. Glory to God though she has completely recovered except that she does have to take meds but if you didnt know that you would never know she had a stroke. I'm so glad you got your car!!!God does indeed know and care about our needs. As for our struggles, my favorite evangelist, Paula White, always says that God will take our mess and turn into our message. That helps me keep going because I know that I will be able to minister to people that have been where I am now once I am through this trial. God is just so good-hugs Amy
