I am having an awesome day. I would like to share some GOOD NEWS!

1) We have a man in our church who has a burden for those with addictions. He wanted to offer a series of classes to the community that would focus on GOD being the answer for those with addictions. He advertised in the newspaper. Now, we are small-town America all the way. To be honest, we did not expect much to come of this because we've tried things like this in the past with no obvious substantial results. However, we felt that we needed to give this guy a chance because of his burden. His first class was last night. A few cm's came for support, including the SP and my dh, the pastor. God is so amazing! Only ONE couple came... BUT... they listened... they are older, the man is an alcoholic and said that he has tried everything to get help. After the class, my dad, the SP, asked this man if they could pray for him. He readily agreed. As they prayed for him, he began to cry. He was noticeably touched by the Holy Ghost! He and his wife have both promised to be at our service in the morning and attend the potluck afterwards! My dh came in and the first thing he said is "There IS a God!" Our faith is soaring over how God is working behind the scenes. Can't wait to see what HE is going to do tomorrow!

2) My 17 year old son FINALLY got a job!!! Another miracle~he has looked since he was 15 and could find nothing. He was at Bob Evan's Restaurant with my mom the other day and my mom mentioned to the manager that Jonathan was still looking for a job. He had already turned his application in there several months ago. The boss - a really nice guy - said - Well, I am hiring! He took Jonathan in for an interview right then, he had his 2nd interview last night and he has the job! Hallelujah!

3) Last, but not least, Misty (our 13 yr old newest daughter) is court ordered to have counseling because of her dysfunctional family. I have been to two couselors, but have felt no peace. Yesterday, I took her to counselor #3 and praise the Lord! I knew it was the right person for Misty to see. She is a Christian, talked to Misty about the Lord, is very flexible, sweet spirit... I'm so thrilled at how God works!

So, there you have it ... I'm amazed at how awesome our God is. I have really been struggling... my mom told me that God is getting ready to do something! She was right! Thanks for listening. I'm glad I can share my "good news" with you pw's and not just the discouragement. God IS faithful!
