Let the re-blogging begin.

It is amazing how God works. You always hear people say that His timing is perfect and I couldn't agree more. This morning, on the subway ride into work I was praying. Praying on the subway is great because it is generally quiet and people don't look at you strangely if your eyes are closed with your head bowed. This morning, my prayers consisted of asking that James arrive safely at work; confessing my impatience and crankiness this morning towards James as he drove me to the subway and promising God that I will apologize to James and not let my pride get in the way; asking that the Lord provide me with opportunities to talk about Him with my co-workers; and a long prayer about finding a group of Christian women to discuss the Bible with and other issues of faith.

My faith has been a struggle this year for me. I was in denial about this struggle for a long time. When I finally got out of denial, I was completely empty and broken. I knew that something wasn't right when every area of my life was going just fine, but I was so dissatisfied with what I saw.

This morning when I arrived at work, I checked Cathy's blog to see if she had updated it. She had, but I noticed something new... a link to something called "Captivating". Well - I was captivated alright! After clicking on the link, I was connected to Heather's blog, which spoke of doing an online bible study. Silently, I cried out, "thank you Lord."

I've joined the group and I pray that it will be a source of encouragement, growth and renewal for all who are involved.

On another note, it is hard to believe that I have been married for close to a year. July 9 is quickly approaching! I am so blessed to have such a loving, selfless, and patient husband!!

Sidenote: if anyone talks to James today... please direct him to my blog... once seeing my remarkable compliments he will overlook "cranky Courtney" who he had to spend 20 minutes in the car with this morning. Cheers!
