God is Amazing

God is amazing and I love how HE worked powerfully yesterday as I shared my story. I spoke to four classes of 4th graders sharing my life and how it has been transformed. Pointing out that the choices we make can have lifelong consequences both good and bad plus I emphasized the importance of being kind to one another and how you can change a person’s day , even life, by saying an encouraging word, giving someone a genuine smile, and by being a friend because the bottom line is you never know what someone might be going through even if they have a smile on their face and a bounce to their step. The first class I spoke to were moved to tears and while that does happen with my story I felt there was a deeper connection as I spoke . When I got to Alexis dying in a car accident I could see the overwhelming effect but I stressed there was hope and that my God , who has saved me, has seen me through this horrible tragedy and that I have joy even when I am sad. When I finished the teacher came to me in tears and hugged me telling me that just a month ago one of the classmates died in a car accident. His mother had been drinking and the car flipped killing two of her children. It was a horrible tragic story and the students are still in such pain and shock from this loss. The teacher told me my story was perfect and came in perfect timing. Praying for this sweet class of children , praying God will bring healing. God surely sent me there for a reason and what a blessing it was to me to share my hope with these hurting students. He is on HIS throne and in control and that brings me such comfort and peace !!
