God is Good

Last night I went with a friend to pray with a lady who was going through a rougher then normal time. We talked and prayed and kept company and left. One of the major prayer points and difficulties was that her overnight caregiver was unwilling to come and work nights any more. This meant massive sleep issues because of feeling unsafe alone in the house. Today God answered that prayer and the caregiver will still work there but will sleep through the night instead of remaining awake. This means my friend can sleep knowing that if anything happens she will have help. I had offered to go and be company but God answered the prayer in another way.

Amazing Friends

God answers prayers. Before I left home, an older lady prayed for me and she prayed firstly that there would be a bible teaching church here where I could grow and mature in Christ, and secondly that I would find a friend here who would have clear and obvious joy about being with me. A lovely friend whose face would light up when she saw me, and who clearly enjoys my company. 

God answered both of these prayers with a yes and I am still very grateful. 

The lovely people at this church invite me over to their house for hours at a time to play playdough and chat. They invite me to stay with them so I can have a break from work in the holidays. They include me in their every day activities and remember me when they plan things. After staying with one friend for 4 nights during the holidays, I stripped my bed (like you do) and got in mild trouble for it since there was a possibility I might want to come back and stay one last night before starting work. I was uncertain about the likelihood of this happening but wouldn't you know, she was right. I ended up staying for another 3 nights this week.

God has been good to me, he has surrounded me with people who I can learn from, and practice Godliness on. My parents, my youth group leaders, my bible study leaders, my friends. In every place I have lived, there have been Godly mature women to learn from and to grow beside.
