I have spent the past few nights reading my book, different sections each night, and remembering what God has revealed, remembering where I have come from, and seeing His power in my life in so many ways. I also realize how much time has passed since I met Scott initially on the question & answer forum; it will be 10 years in September. He moved to heaven 5 years ago next month. God purposefully set all this in motion and has lovingly and patiently guided me through the love and fun of Scott, the agony of his departure, the healing through grief, and all the other revelations/lessons/corrections in me, writing the book, and now I stand at the threshold of NEXT. The pain of my life is connected to my destiny and the book is a tool for God to use. All of this will bring Him glory and serve the Kingdom purpose. As I have reread my printed words in the book, I have relived much of it from a different perspective as more time has passed and the awe of God in my life has increased. It is amazing/incredible/indescribable that God has done so much for me and yet much more is to come beyond what I can imagine.

The blessings in our lives are not limited by how we use them now. They will provide openings and opportunities for greater service and increased blessing in different ways.

We are not to measure and try to justify what He gives or does for us; rather, we are to be grateful and praise Him !!!!!
