God is Great

Last night Brandon and I attended our church's Ash Wednesday service.  Growing up in the Baptist Church, we never celebrated or did anything super special on this particular day.  It was amazing!  I feel like my heart was in the right place yesterday. 

After texting with K all day and finally getting the good news I was so happy.  After the ashes were placed on my forehead I went to the altar to pray.  My brain immediately started racing, but all I could think about was K, her husband (J), and their teeny tiny baby.  I thanked God for His gift of Life and for giving them this blessing.  I prayed for peace and comfort for K and for her and the baby to grow and become strong for Him.  I thanked Him for his divine will and for allowing K and myself to meet through our circumstances and become great friends.  I cannot say it enough that God is Great.  He is in control.

    Hi,

    I'm finding you for the first time through ICLW. I am deeply moved by your post about the power of God and the power of friendship.

    Best wishes,

    I grew up and am currently Methodist, and even though I'm in the same church I grew up in, we have a much more conservative pastor now and so do a lot more with things like Ash Wednesday than I remember as a kid. I was really glad of it this year when I lost a coworker on Wednesday...it helped to be able to go to church and be with my family.

    I love your beautiful surrender, Courtney. I love the Cinderella quote, too, "Even miracles take a little time!"
