I think I have written this in the past...but it never ceases to amaze me how a book I am reading, the Gospel reading of the day, or the spoken words of a friend can have such a profound way of touching on something I am going through....it seems to always be perfectly presented at the exact moment needed.
Last week, I was reading one of the MOST INCREDIBLE stories...a few words struck a cord with me so deep, I still can not shake them so I decided to write them down so I never forget this God moment. In NO way am I trying to compare myself with Katie!! I am sharing this God story because God was speaking to me through this story... Katie writes my feelings so perfectly, therefore, I will share....
And God spoke so plainly to me. He did not apologize for my heartache; even better, He shared it. He knew. The pain in my heart over having to give up a little boy I had loved for a month did not even come close to the pain He felt when He gave His only Son. And He did that for me. The pain I felt was so unbearable, but it was just a fraction of what He felt when He sent His one and only child to save me, to allow me to spend eternity with Him. He knew. And while it still hurt to put the little boy back in a situation where I could not guarantee his care, I knew God was going with him.

I truly believe God was showing His love to me through this exact moment....Katie wrote what I was feeling....and God let me read it reminding me He is there for me and for all of his children!
