Blessings Through Trials


Fri. August 17, 2012

This evening we attended a wedding reception for some good friends of ours. Their oldest daughter got married and it was wonderful to see them on their happy day! At the reception, I ran into several students from Rocky Mountain Elementary and they were so happy to see me. I had fun talking to them. One girl told me that her mom was helping in the kitchen and wanted to see me. 

I stopped by to talk with her for a few minutes and she gave me the biggest hug and congratulated me on my recent good news of moving from chemo to radiation. She said her family prays for me every day and I was so touched by her faith. Then she said something to me that really sank in. She said, “I’m so grateful for your journey and the opportunity that my children have had to pray for you and fast for you. Because of you, my children now have a testimony of miracles and the power of prayer. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of this experience.” 

Once again, that thought came to my mind, ‘Remember, Lisa, it’s not about you.’ The Lord’s ways are not our ways and so much good can come out of challenges and trials. He truly is in charge and we must always remember, remember to trust in His will and His timing.
