God is at work...

As I reflect on the past six months, I see that God has provided me with many opportunities to exercise my trust in him. This is not surprising, since I have discovered this is exactly where I need to grow. As I have learned to trust him, God has proved exceedingly faithful.

I praise God that I appear to have recovered from the injuries sustained in the car accident I suffered in January (though I still shudder while driving through the intersection where the accident occurred). God has also sustained me through some teaching opportunities and has caused a variety of fruit to grow as a result.

However, life is still crazy: I still have family members who are ill, some who need jobs, and others who need to recognize their need for God. Many of the women to whom I minister are suffering physically and/or financially. The economy is wretched and the cost of gas alone is enough to make a grown woman cry.

But God is good. And he is still on his throne. He is faithful and is worthy of praise. He has not, nor will he ever abandon us. He is ever present. We just need to look for his presence in our lives.

What is he doing in your life?
