Just Simply Amazing

Good Morning Friends! I am already having such an awsome day today. I woke up to say good bye to my Uncle, who is even now on his way back to his home in Indiana. We all had such a wonderful time while he was staying with us, he keeps us laghing all the time. (He was even laughing when he crashed into the front fence while driving the lawnmower trying to figure out how the crazy thing worked.)

Since he was here I didn’t have much time to blog, but I wanted to share with you something I went through last Wednesday night and Thursday morning. Well, first off, all of you who personaly know me know that I am a little on the…shorter side. (A couple of weeks ago, I had to get measured so I could go get my Driver’s Permit and I figured out that I am exactly five feet and 1/2 inch tall.) Anyway, on Wednesday night I could not sleep at all and I was so happy about that. The reason I was so happy was because I was in major, major pain. I know it sounds weird but I was experiencing growing pangs and I haven’t had those in a long time! I was so excited, but it hurt really bad. Around midnight I finally fell asleep and when I woke up on Thursday the pain was gone! Nnnooo!! I wanted to scream. My legs weren’t in pain and as far as I can tell I didn’t grow. As I went on throughout the day I kept thinking, Why did I go through that if I didn’t grow or do anything?  After I thought about it a little bit I figured out that I did grow, but not in the normal way. I grew spiritually. God gave me a revelation. (Some of you know that that is quite unusual because I normally only get them when doing Chemistry homework) So, my revelation was this…when there are times in our lives when we aren’t growing in God or feeding our Spirit with His Word, we become stagnant. We stay the same height in our relationship with Him. We want God to work a miracle in us or through us, but we aren’t willing to go through things for Him. So when the “miracle” of spriritual growing pangs comes we aren’t ready. We experience the pain and the trial (not that all trials are painful), but we don’t move anywhere. We aren’t any taller. If we want to grow in Him we’ve got to feed ourselves on His promises and keep the window of communication open with Him. Continually talk with Him and learn from Him. And the things that you go through will be tough, but you will grow and experience new heights forever afterwards. 

Keep up your faith, Brianna      

Hey Readers! Today on June 10, 2008, is when I get to post my actual “first post”. (My other “first post” was actually just a test run.) Anyway, I hope all of my posts of pictures, stories, Bible verses, daily struggles and triumphs, new things I am learning, and much much more, will be encouraging and uplifting to all who read them.

Right now it is 10:53 and I am off to bed,  but I will post again tomorrow. TTYL my faithful readers! Brianna

P.S. For those of you who have no idea at all of how to read computer lingo (I shall not name any names) TTYL means Talk To You Later.

P.P.S. One more thing about me…I like to use P.S.’s  

The Lord is doing Amazing things in our life. This is a place where I can share my heart and the amazing things that I see that He is doing all around us. Lord, help me to be attentive to the things that You are doing all around me and to share it with others in order to give you all the glory.

On Friday morning while getting ready to go to Robert’s office for the last time, I was thinking that the Lord was the only stable thing in my/our life. Later on that day while I was waiting on Robert to get there to wrap up things and I had a few minutes to read God’s Word. In Isaiah 33:6 (NIV) “He will be the sure foundation for your times…” WOW! Talking about confirmation that He is near and listening.

I look forward to sharing my thoughts with you.

After living over 35 years full of worry, doubts and fears, God has begun to open our eyes to see how real He is and how he is actively at work every day in the lives of people all around us.  We had been living as powerless Christians. The uncertainty, worry, doubts and fears had produced stresses in our lives that led to poor choices and left us vulnerable outside of God’s provison.

Here, we will share stories of God’s amazing work in our lives, the lives of friends and in the lives of people from around the world.

It is our sincere hope that this site might help you to one day experience God personally in your life through His Son, Jesus Christ.  Furthermore, that you would come to complete dependence on God and turn to God to meet every need in your life.

Robert and Sandy
