God knows BEST!!!

We don’t always understand WHY we go through the trials and tribulations of life.  I must admit, I experienced a hurt like I’ve never experienced before in 2019, by someone I trusted my ENTIRE life with.  Someone I loved unconditionally, and I spent months questioning WHY.  Why did I have to experience that level of pain, crushing, and ripping of my soul.  Almost 6 months to the day I surrendered, I finally got the answer.  He was putting a hedge of protection around me.
Last Friday I was on a cruise with my church family when I got the news that the contract I’d been working on for the last 6 months was approved for 1.5 million dollars MORE than I bid!!!!! When I tell you it was THEN that I realized God removed people from my life that I would have BLOWN my blessing on.........he knew THEN what he had in store for me! A 3.7 million dollar contract is mine, because I TRUSTED GOD. I didn’t give up even when I wanted to lay down and die, literally.
I say this to say, always follow God’s direction....even when it hurts to live.  Keep living, because he has something greater in store.  Those that sow in tears, will reap in JOY.........and the word of the Lord IS blessed!!!!
