I finally got some baking done today. I delivered a loaf of lemon poppyseed bread to a woman (G___) in our church who has been very sick for quite a while. She still doesn't know what's wrong with her but she is in a lot of constant pain. I stopped by quickly and dropped it off, and she seemed happy to see me (and the bread). :)
The delivery felt good.
I also received an email back from J____, a reply from last night's encouragement. She said she read the email in tears, and told me that just last night, she told her young son that she didn't know how she would get through this life. She said the email gave her the encouragement needed to survive another day. THAT is what this is all about. And while one might think it a coincidence that I sent her that email at the same time she was expressing her struggle to her son, I KNOW it was God. I prayed hard last night about who to encourage. I had so many names and faces coming to mind. I didn't know who to choose. God answered my prayer. If I had chosen on my own... well, there are many who SEEM to need an uplifting more than J____. Certainly, I would have decided on one of them. But God sees SO MUCH that I can not see. I am thankful he was willing to guide me last night.
