Advice From Friends -- Grace

I had a few things I wanted to send ya'll's way tonight. :)

I've been learning a lot with the Lord lately.  He's been teaching me how great and powerful He is, and I am amazed at the majesty of His works.  You see, I've been working on a project that people told me was impossible.  But three times last fall He brought to my attention the beginning of Isaiah 42:6, which reads, "I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee..." 

Now...the Lord has led me on this journey far longer than I thought in the beginning.  My faith has been strengthened more than I ever thought it would be.  And now, things are happening that could cause this project to go down the drain in a heartbeat.  My mom thinks it will go down the drain.  I was trying to think on how I knew that the Lord was leading me...trying to remember the testimonies that He gave me last fall that showed that He was leading me.  And then tonight, one of my dear sisters sent me this.  And I cried...

"I know thy every thought and every care...What power shall stay the hand of God?...My kindness shall not depart from thee."

I needed that.  :)

Then, I was talking to another dear, dear friend of mine.  We'd been talking about relationships and things for a couple of days now, and he sent me a quote his mom shared with him yesterday -- not knowing that we'd been talking about relationships.

"Jesus provides the fire when the right one comes along -- Satan tries to to light our matches all the time."  I thought that was pretty neat...and true.  :)

Last, but not least, a piece of advice from me, myself, and I...

It may be humanly impossible, but God is not human.
