Good morning, Pastor John,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I am so very grateful for the book\u00a0A Story of God: George C. Clark, A Pioneer of the Faith<\/em>. (The Pioneer Tract Society – Burlington, NC<\/a><\/span> )\u00a0 I am not done yet.\u00a0 I read a little and let it settle, then read some more.\u00a0 I have learned it is not about finishing the books I read quickly, but about absorbing the good news about GOD.\u00a0 That takes me steady slow work.\u00a0 This book has taught me it is ok to not like what GOD has done and be grateful for it at the same time.\u00a0 It’s like I don’t like that they had to take my kidney, but I am very grateful that they did before it killed me!\u00a0 I used to condemn myself for not liking what He had to do to fix me.\u00a0 But I now think, or better yet, FEEL it’s ok to feel both.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I have awakened today with a mouth full of thank you.\u00a0 I have felt His Spirit running through me several times already and needed to communicate how grateful\u00a0 and happy I am to someone who would understand!\u00a0 I am aware that there is a real chance there’s a hard trial coming and this could be GOD preparing me.\u00a0 If so, I pray I will do the right thing right away and not bounce around first.\u00a0 Otherwise I’ll just be happy until and after.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am grateful for all guidance in the Lord.\u00a0 As I said I am feeling so very grateful today!\u00a0 Thank You GOD!<\/span><\/p>\n

Mark W.<\/span><\/p>\n
