Sometimes when people are beaten down to the point of giving up.... (huuuum sounds like someone I know), God is there for us, from the beginning to now. Sometimes I feel like I have this cloud over my head and I wonder where is the sun? My Sunday School teacher asked me this morning "Linda, how has the Holy Spirit helped you through this time of your life"? I told her "The holy spirit of God has given me his strength, without it I don't know how I could be doing this.", it was very hard for me not too cry this morning.

I almost didn't go to church this morning, but God with his big hands pushed me out the door and whispered in my ear.... "He will be fine". I thank God for the people he has sent my way to help me through this time in my life. Did you know that there is strength in numbers? WHO KNEW?! I have found that out many times. Sometimes I just want to pull away from one of my friends, I call on her so much, she has done so much for my family, but if I do I'll be taking her joy away... this lady has been there from the beginning, and God will NOT let me pull away from her.... with his big hands he pushes me closer to her and to my other friends... you know why???? Because there is strength among friends and family.

People has told me that God will not put too much on us to where we can not carry it.... I know that is why God has sent me the friends he did.... so they can help me and share their strength with me.

My pastor told us this morning... "Don't make decision when you're down or discouraged.... you'r vision is blocked. If you are reading this and you are going through this Cancer with your loved one, go be with friends and loved ones where there is alot of strength..... it helps.... I know.... I have been depresses so many times and I will get a call from Gail one of my friends and she will say "Linda..... pull yourself up by the bra straps and go on." (well that's different.) just little funny things to help me through the day.

I want you to say this when you get up in the morning. I posted this in one of Augusts Enterys.

"THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!" then sing "My God is big".

"MY God is so big, so strong and so mighty

there's nothing MY God can not do."

"MY God is so big, so strong and so mighty

there's nothing MY God can not do."

The mountains are his, the valleys are his.

The stars are his handy-work too.

"MY God is so big, so strong and so mighty

there's nothing MY God can not do."

FOR YOU!

While you are singing this song.... look in the mirror. Yea I know it is silly..... but it works. :-)
