God is SO good

Hey,
I just thought I would share a way that God encouraged me today. I was feeling a little discouraged this afternoon for some reason. And I was kind of thinking about how hard it has been already to keep the decisions I made at camp. Well, I just told God that for some reason I was feeling kind of down, I really didn't "feel" like having my devotions that morning and I just prayed "God, I don't know what my problem is but help me to keep my focus on You" Well, a couple hours after I prayed that, Carissa Hawes called me to ask me a question about something minor and I ended up talking to her for about two hours! We just talked about our camp experiences (since she didn't get in on the van discussion =) and the different stuff we were struggling with and we were discussing how faithful God is even when we are not and we reminded each other of the verse "A just man falleth seven times and riseth back up again" (I think that is going to become MY verse =) Anyways, she probably had no idea how much of an encouragement she was to me but after we got off the phone I was smiling and I was thinking "You knew I needed that, Lord!" Anyways, I just want to remind you all to stick with your decisions and to please keep praying for me and all the others! It really DOES make a difference. Also another thing I want to mention...Carissa was saying how hard it is to be away from our youth group , to start this new church and that they will probably be moving. She is excited about it but its also difficult...You know? So I am trying to think of ways that we all can encourage her and Christiana, to let them know we care and are still praying for them as teens. If ya'll have any ideas, please comment and we can all work something out together.

Oh, let's start singing..."God is so Good, God is so Good. God is so good, He's so good to me."
I love when God fulfills a need right-quick! hehe
