The other night in the bible study people were talking about how strangers (sometimes what they felt might have been angels) came and encouraged them at the right time. During all of this Jesus took my thoughts back to the summer of 2006. It was one of the hardest, I hope ever, summers. At this time my dad had gone, and my mom was just hanging on by a thread. I finally just couldn't stay at home anymore and asked if I could please come and spend the rest of my summer in NC. I was out one day with Aunt Song and Ellen grocery shopping and my dad called crying. I started to cry in the store, so I walked out. I was just sitting and crying, when a lady walked up to me and asked if I was ok. I said yes, and she looked at me straight in the eyes and said "remember this is only for a season." When she said that, it did something for my heart. I knew that was Jesus letting me know that what I was going through was just for a little while. He really does hear us. Thank you, Jesus!
Wow, that's one of the best stories I've read (or heard) in a long time. I had never heard that one before, either! How did I miss all these things that were happening to you? :)
My heart hurts for the pain you endured. I guess I never realized what you were going through. I am thankful that Jesus loves you Ashley and that he is always there right on time.
