  1. I am going through an INCREDIBLY dark time in my life and the future absolutely terrifies me. My husband is so bogged down he can only pray silently and I feel so all alone. Thank you for the reminder that I am NOT alone…

    • Sending prayers your way dear sister and for your husband…let all that I am wait quietly for the Lord, Psalm 62:5. He sees.. He Knows.. He hears…
      He heals.. this I know firsthand and claim for you ❤️ bless

      • Thank you Sadie! We try to start the day counting our blessings and by being thankful. The world is a harsh place!

    • Susan… words fail me but I trust the Holy Spirit to groan on our behalf, knowing exactly what you need. I am so sorry the darkness feels consuming. Praying the Light will break through and as it does you will see even more clearly that Jesus was with you all along.

    • Susan,

      Father God comfort Susan & her husband. Give her a peace that surpasses all understanding. Take away any anxiety they have about the future & help them trust you alone.

      Blessings 🙂

  2. Thank you for these transparent reminders Becky. Looking back now as a “Nana”- I too can see the slow weaving of my story – which – at the time- I was unable to embrace.

  3. God is good all the time. All the time God is good. I don’t have kids. But God has given me good friends who are even if I don’t see them that often. Who are there for me. Love me for who I am. Plus wonderful Niece’s and Nephews. To spoil and love. God has bless me so much. Yes at times I do get lonely which my Friends didn’t live 86 miles away from me. I wish I could visit them more often and they me. But God has told me you have me. Your Friends do keep in touch with you and ask you how your doing plus pray for you. Even if you don’t see them in person that often. You don’t have close friend in person where you live. Remember you always go me. Friends that care about you even if don’t see you that often because live so far away. I thank God for that. Plus the wonderful Husband I have. I thankful for him and that he saved. Plus my Friends are saved to that I don’t see that often. Just to know all care. It speaks to me. God is good to me. I thank you for todays reading. Love Dawn Ferguson-Little xx

  4. AMEN! Pray for me please. I feel The Lord trying to tell me something, but I’m not hearing clear enough yet to know exactly what I’m supposed to do or in this case not do.

  5. Good morning Everyone.

    I am so taken by this article. I can now confirm that time belongs to God. We think we can plan our lives but we belong to God. Our lives are already etched out divinely if we have surrendered our hearts to God.

    I read recently that we complement one another by God’s Timing. He allows people to come into our community in order to add to our lives and remove any negativity that hinders our growth and development. I thought I was choosing when to send a text message and when to share a Prayer and an email with someone. Only God is the Navigator of our Christian Journeys.

    Thank You Lord for how You Care for Us (Your Children).

    Amen.

    • Time belongs to God. Yes, Brenda! I’m so grateful for that truth with you. Indeed He is working ALL things for the good of those who love Him.

  6. Becky – I love reading your descriptions of God’s grace and faithfulness. My morning time as a recent retiree is a testimony to his “stitch by stitch unfurling of faithfulness.” Decades of a job I didn’t love (but learned to accept and to serve through) paved the way for me to retire early to write, look after my parents, and babysit my new grandson.

    I’m so incredibly grateful.

    Thank you for capturing in words God’s great faithfulness and encouraging others by sharing!

  7. Becky, this gave me chills. You’ve captured a feeling, an emotion, a big picture description of how God has moved for you and your relationships and shared it in a way that is very moving. I shared this with my group of ‘immeasurably more’ and let them know that they are this for me. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and Godly gift of writing.

    Christine ♥

  8. Becky,

    God’s timing is not our own. We want things now & that isn’t how God works. We pray, pray pray for something to happen. Discouragement sets in because we don’t see results. Just remember God is always working on your behalf. Our stories aren’t finished till we reach Heaven.

    My hubby & job are my immeasurably more. I waited four years for Jesus to send me someone to love. That was 20 years ago. God saw fit to give me a good job in a hospital unit run by ICU management. Absolutely enjoy helping my patients & sharing God’s love with them. It took lot of work changes to get here, but in the end the wait was worth it.

    Blessings 🙂
