A Letter:
Dear Carol,
. . .You are much appreciated! How thankful I am that God has chosen to bless the ___ women by placing you in our family! Thank you for your love for the women that has translated into leading this segment of the Wednesday Bible Study. It has been such a joy to watch the women explore what God has given them. Thank you for the years of preparation that have gone into that which you teach us now!
I'm looking forward to what God will do in you, in me, and in the women of ___ as we continue to love and serve Him and His women!
What a joy to watch you delight in Him and to sense His delight in YOU!
Love,
____
I can't tell you how encouraging this made me feel yesterday when I found this letter tucked in a book that she gave me to read.
GOD IS AWESOME!
This letter came to me last Sunday:
My new friend, Carol,
. . .I am so grateful to the Lord for sending you to us. I clearly felt the Lord's presence and saw His hand move before and all through the retreat. Thank you for investing your heart, time, and energy in our women.
I'm looking forward to our future of serving the Lord together.
Many thanks . . .Let's do lunch soon.
Love,
_____
:) These are both the women's ministry directors of my new church. I am so glad to be part of a team of lovely women like this! YAHOO!
It has been a long road over the last two and a half years, and these two letters just confirmed to me that God has led me on a good road. I finally belong!
Thank you God!
