Decisions, decisions, I am
overwhelmed with decisions!
They must be made quickly and so we can’t spend a
lot of time mulling things over. We are completely trusting in God that He will
direct our path.
Mark and Morgan went to work today, so I decided to take a walk on
my favorite path, Gailey Trail at Nicholls Park in Fruit Heights, Utah. It is a
wooded ravine with a peaceful stream that runs the entire distance. It makes me
feel like I am back in Kentucky, and I really miss my mom and dad right now.
As I got out of the car, I
prayed that I would feel God’s love on this peaceful walk and that I would know the answer to a difficult
decision we are facing regarding my cancer. I walked down a short path to get
to the trail head and found this sign:
I see the sign every time
I walk the trail (several times a week), but this time it was leaning against a
tree. This caused me to notice it a little more which allowed me to see a small
addition to the sign in the upper right corner:
I wasn’t wearing my
glasses, so I had to move closer. There on a small Post-It note was my answer:
I AM LOVED!! I wanted to shout it out to the world. I am loved by
God, the creator of heaven and earth and all things that in them are. I am a
tiny speck when it comes to His creations and here I was, His daughter, needing
to know that He loved me, He knew me, and He knew I had cancer and I was having
a hard day. And there it was – plain as day -- "You Are Loved."
Read the fine print. It
says #randomloveletter.
I pray that you will find
your “random love letter” from God. I promise that He knows you and loves you
as much as He loves me for God is not a respecter of persons. Aren’t we so blessed?! I will praise
His name forever!
And whoever is reading
this, I know it is because you love me, and I love you too. Thanks for being my
friend on this incredibly difficult journey. Please let me know how I can help
you on yours. And may God bless the angel who put that note on the sign just for me. -- Elizabeth
I love that phrase - "you are loved". Interestingly, I'm currently making some cards with that on the front - suggested by our dear friend Ann Dibb. I will give you a bunch when they are done. You are in my prayers. love you..
ReplyDeleteHow amazing! It almost looks like some fancy Kristen writing! :)
ReplyDeleteThis life was not meant to be easy, but it is a journey that we all gladly wanted to explore. So whenever you are having a hard day, remember that little note. You are loved, because I along with hundreds of other people LOVE YOU.
