Renewed Confidence

Happy Sabbath,

I will keep this post short but my testimony is that I was able to take part in a communion service today with my son by my side.  We actually sat in the sanctuary and he was quiet and better behaved.  For the foot washing, I washed his feet and he did mine as well. 

I only did communion two times since stopping going to an Adventist church 4 years ago (first at a non-denominational church and second at a catholic church when accompanying two other people for work purposes). The church I was baptized in, I don’t remember doing communion there, but I did it often at the second Adventist church I visited and changed membership.  My membership is still there as I am feeling out this place where I am now.

I am very glad to have the opportunity to do it again.

I also have my car back and it runs like a dream. I was so angry with my mechanic for telling me each week the car would be ready in 2 more days and 2 more days turned into 2 more weeks.  On Friday about an hour before last Sabbath, he texted me to let me know the car would be ready for pick up, but of course I didn’t take the money out of the bank and was not going to pick it up on Sabbath so I had to wait until Monday afternoon to get it. 

Despite some of the nonsense I saw this week at work, I had a good week on the job and was able to accomplish a lot.  The Lord saw me through one of my toughest challenges at work and now that I have gone through this, I have more confidence in staying on and doing much more.  I can do anything through Christ.  I can count on Him to get through any challenge. 

For each devastating event where I could not see a way through, the Lord already created a path to victory.  I don’t want to go through some of these things, but even if I do, I know that He is there and give me the strength and courage to endure.

God is good so praise Him today!
