"God of Wonders"


"God of Wonders"

For the past couple of days, God has been blessing me with amazing strength. I wanted to share this will all of you. I feel so good. So strong, I still need to rest in the afternoon. But, just rest not really nap anymore. And, yes on our snowy days the past few I have snow blowed my own drive way. If you can picture me out there in full snow gear blowing my own driveway---you are way ahead of my own perception of myself.

But, God truly gives us no more than we can handle. I feel stronger every day. I feel blessed and amazed by his awesomeness. My doctors told me my strength might not return for up to three months, and here I am at just a little over 2 months since I have been out of the hospital and I am feeling really strong.

It is an answer to my prayers. Truly. I prayed for strength and some insight on when I would feel strong enough to return to everyday life and work. After my last doctor's appointment, I just felt tired and wondered if I would ever feel as though I could do this "single working mom" thing ever again. I mean it is tiring!!!! :) But, he is truly a God of Wonders.

Third Day is my favorite band. So, thought I'd share this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CBNE25rtnE with you all...it makes me put my hands into the air every time to praise God and his awesomeness. When William, Anna and I listened tonight and I raised my hands they said "what are you doing." When I told them I was praising God, they both raised their arms and sang to the part they know "God of Wonders..." and told me "We love Jesus too." Then, William told me he is going to ask Jesus and Santa to open my eye, okay Mommy?"

This is why I have strength. God keeps blessing me so I can experience more moments with Anna and William that continue to make me smile and KNOW he is working in all of our lives.

The other song I've included, again my Third Day, titled "Call on Jesus" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOb8ihacSM4 is my all time favorite. It is perfect song when I need a reminder who to talk to when I am sad or in my "unbelieving moments." It was the song that I listened to everyday during my seperation/divorce. My wedding anniversary was this past Sunday, Dec. 7th and although a much easier day than last year, I listened to this song again that day. I remember crying in my car so often with this song, but knowing that by calling on Jesus I would get through it. And, again I celebrate our God of Wonders only one year later that some of that pain has subsided.

Love, Claudine
