Or in my case, the sunset.

(((((((((((My friends)))))))))))),

Thank you so much for your support, your encouragement, your steady guidance, your love.  This fear that I was experiencing was very unlike me.  It was further complicated by the previous week which I had learned some difficult news to hear.  At any rate . . .

As Jerry said, I need watch for False Evidence Appearing Real and this was so.  After I posted, I was paralyzed by the fear and so I got on my knees next to my bedside and just sobbed explaining to God how this fear was gripping me.  It's amazing as it was like an awakening.  My sobs stopped and I felt his presence and was able to go to work.  I then felt all of your collective strength and walked through the fear.

I still don't have everything figured out, but my first day went well.  On my way home was the most beautiful sunset I had seen in some time and I am sharing it with you.  All along was God showing me the way, the way to, and the way through, with all of you with me.

So from the bottom of my heart, I thank you,
love Maria

Takes my breath away. God is sooo good, blessing you so abundantly. May you continue to see much, much more.

I share your gratitude for this fellowship, when I fell back into fear recently, this fellowship walked me right back to God, from where all goodness comes.

Thank you for posting these beautiful photos, my heart is full.

I heard something today - we choose between faith and fear.  Luckily for me I have awesome friends, and my fears are, for the moment, overcome by my gratitude.

you rock - that's my story and I'm sticking to it :)

Thanks for sharing, Maria. Yes, sometimes I feel that way too, that a landscape or a sunset is God's confirmation that there is hope and all will be okay.

Hey Paul,
Did you see that smiley face in your posted photo, or just birds? Very cool.

Blessings,

Lou
