For the past couple of weeks, I have felt as though the blessings that the Lord has poured out upon me have left my cup more than overflowing.  He has been so faithful in answering some very specific heart-cries of mine; I cannot help but want to shout His praises.  What a good God we serve, and how He delights in giving blessings to His children!

Along with the blessings, though, have come some trials (as often happens in life).  There is a sweet side even amidst life's difficulties when we face them knowing God is with us.  I am at times amazed at the peace He can give (if I allow Him to) even when the skies are dark and the going is hard.  He is always good, trustworthy, and completely faithful, even when we are not.  There is great comfort in knowing that He never changes, and that His mercy and grace are so much more than we deserve.

Over the last two weeks, my husband and I have had not one--not two--not even three--but several very specific prayers answered.  We have seen the hand of God work so very clearly in certain areas of our lives, and we have felt His leading and guidance in unmistakable ways.  And through it all, I keep asking myself why I would ever begin to doubt His care for us in anything.  We want more than anything to glorify Him in every area of our lives, and as a result we are seeing His goodness and blessings upon us and our family.  I am excited for all that He is doing in our lives, though at times I have to admit I feel fearful.  He is leading us into unkown territory; it's hard to trust when you don't know where it will lead.

In a couple of weeks, I will (as promised) be able to share more details of what is going on our lives.  You have all been so sweet and patient, and I have greatly enjoyed and appreciated your comments and speculations.  (I am actually a bit surprised that any of you would care what goes on in the life of little ol' me.)  In the meantime, know that I am experiencing God's goodness and am left with a cup that is running over.
