WE ARE HARD-PRESSED ON EVERY SIDE, YET NOT CRUSHED; WE ARE PERPLEXED, BUT NOT IN DESPAIR; PERSECUTED, BUT NOT FORSAKEN; STRUCK DOWN, BUT NOT DESTROYED.
2 Corinthians 4:8-9
I know it has been a while since I posted anything...but, it's been a while since I've been teaching. So now that I've got my excuses out of the way I guess it's time to get honest. I've let myself get lazy, I've fell victim to a bad case of the poor mes, and I lost some focus. However, I feel God led me to this blog and it's about time I start to obey!
I want to start by saying WOW!!!!! God is good, He is an awesome provider and His grace is sufficient. It's so crazy how He's got things mapped out. For instance...those of you who were in class Sunday know, Teddy was out sick and was unable to finish his lesson. So I was unprepared to lead the class, but God said..."I Got this." I gave it to Him and He provided us with an awesome time together. I think God provided us a time to share our troubles and praises, a chance to remind one another that there is a reason that we are together. To lift one another up as brothers and sisters in Christ when there are times of trial.
As you know it's been a tough time for our family as of late. You know because YOU guys have ministered to us more than you could ever understand...and for that I could never thank you enough. Even though I've been focused on my own problems over the last couple weeks God has shown me that if I just trust in Him, have a little of that "FAITH" stuff that we talked about, that He would provide and He has. He also revealed to me (whether it be through the lose of a friend or a prayer request made in class), that I'm not the only one going through something. Sometimes it's hard to realize just how blessed we are. No matter how bad we think things are, someone else could be going through something much worse, and handle it much better. That is FAITH in CHRIST!!!! That is flexing that spiritual muscle that Teddy is always talking about. Let me tell you that Regina Thompson is RIPPED and SHREDDED with spiritual muscle and I need to hit the gym.
Teddy will be finishing his lesson this Sunday and to tell you the truth I was looking forward to teaching again. But, I will be having surgery next Wednesday on my back and that may keep me out of class for a week or two. I don't know what will happen, but I do know God has a plan and He will provide.
God bless each of you. Thank you for sharing this week, thank you for praying and thank you for your obedience to our Savior.
