Thankful Thursday

Thursday, December 4, 2008

I missed three Thursdays I think. Glad to be back.

I thank the Lord for confirming His answer to me... again.

God spoke to me about my marriage several times in the past and I knew God is in control. I knew that He's working behind the scenes for me. This morning when I woke up, I asked the Lord to speak to me about it again. When I got to my office I checked my email. To my delight, this is what I read:
hi Pia, i had saved this word from Joel & Victoria Osteen last year. when i read it just now, you came to my thoughts, so i thought i'd share it here with you:

"Your time is coming! The dreams and desires, the things you want to accomplish, the situations you want to see changed will happen. Just because it has taken a long time, or because you've tried and failed, don't give up on those dreams. Don't be complacent about pursuing what God has placed in your heart. I encourage you today - get your fire back! It may be taking a long time, but God is a faithful God. No matter how long it's been, no matter how impossible it looks, if you'll stay in faith, your time is coming. Every dream that's in your heart, every promise that has taken root, God not only put it there, but He has every intention of bringing it to pass. Start declaring today, "My time is coming. God is working behind the scenes on my behalf. I will fulfill my destiny. I will fulfill the plan God has for my life!" As you declare and expect and wait for the appointed time, your faith will grow. Your hope will grow. And you'll step into the destiny God has in store for you!"

i remember how loud this spoke to me when i read it last year, and God is still speaking thru these same words. i hope they'll bless you as well.

hope all is well with you. hugs!
God knew I'd asked Him about this and He already prepared His answer in advance... His way. God knew all along! Thank you, Lord!

God is so good! Thank you for sharing that this morning! I needed to read it and be encouraged because I have been praying for my son. I will begin to declare "Brandon's time is coming!". God will continue to watch over His word to confirm it and He gives us the desires of our hearts. Hold on to His promises...I sure am!

Happy TT!
