Emmanuel
God dwells among us which is what Emmanuel means. He will never leave us or forsake us. He lives among us and cares for us daily. My reason for sharing in these blog entries is to bring us all closer to Him. He is so real to me, as real as the day He appeared to me in my dining room and said, “Fear not, I will hold you by my right hand.” Two weeks later my husband died, and He did hold me in His hand. It was a hard death, and hurt the whole family. You can read more about this and how the Lord took us through in my book, ‘He Did it For Me,’ available at the My Book tab above. My Book and this blog are meant to share how my life is a series of events demonstrating God taking me through many trying times, and to encourage others that if He did it for me, He can do it for you, to just hold on because He will never leave you alone. I had many hard nights of tears and He wiped them all away. I still have memories, but the sting is gone. I know Him as the Lord of my life, and I would like to share Him with all who will listen. Please reach out to me using the Contact Me tab above if you’d like to share God’s work in your life.
