I wrote a devotional for the Internet Cafe (and my blog) titled "You Never Walk Alone". It's about one of my favorite stories, Jesus with the two men on the road to Emmaus. I love the pictures it shows. Jesus was always there walking beside them even though they had no idea... <BR/><BR/> Your post reminds me of that.... I also think of the verse, we walk by faith, not by sight.. It's so true. It's at these times of "not seeing" that we wrestle with what we truly believe....<BR/><BR/> Thanks for sharing. I've enjoyed my visit here.<BR/><BR/> It's nice to meet you,<BR/>JulieJuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13553121852669901186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2894901656509002540.post-66849282261781575782009-03-17T14:02:00.000-05:002009-03-17T14:02:00.000-05:00I came over today from Joy's blog "Ponderings".

It's strange that today is the first time I really noticed that without the word "TEST" you can not have the word "TESTimony"! I pray that I will not fail God's tests in my life!<BR/><BR/>God bless you!<BR/><BR/>MarilynMarilyn in Mississippihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16808156475777748077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2894901656509002540.post-68536225188471616622009-03-17T13:49:00.000-05:002009-03-17T13:49:00.000-05:00What a great word...Thank you.

Oh my friend, thank you. <BR/><BR/>"Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail." Lam.3:22<BR/><BR/>Cheri, I have been struggling so hard to see Him, yet people too, have been speaking of my amazing strength - a strength that can only come from the Lord.<BR/><BR/>Oh, praying a testimony will be born in this season of both fog and furnace.<BR/><BR/>Holding on to Who I cannot see,<BR/>Joy<BR/><BR/>"Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy" 1 Peter 1:8<BR/><BR/>"God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us."

You have spoken His words to me tonight. I needed to hear these things. Discouragement can be so heavy, no? We have been down with a terrible virus for a week now. I'm almost better...but now hubs is getting it. Littlest is still in the midst, and oldest is beginning the telltale cough. <BR/><BR/>i am tired.<BR/><BR/>But that fourth man is with me.<BR/><BR/>I do feel Him. Sometimes :)<BR/><BR/>Thank you, Cheri.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08263995875732832349noreply@blogger.com
