Secret Sister - Thank You

Posted in Secret Sisters

I have to say that taking part of the Secret Sister program through TRAINING HEARTS was more than a blessing to me this summer. It has definatly strengthened my belief in the fact that God answers our prayers. There were so many times this summer where life could have sent my world into a tailspin - but instead, something positive came from all of our trials!! There were also many times where I felt worry and negative whispers start to get the best of me, but my heart would lighten and my vision was made clear through the Lord and with the help of prayer.

In the early summer I went on vacation and got a very bad steam burn (my fingers were almost purple from the burn and blistered) on our first morning there. With prayer though, the Lord healed my fingers almost overnight - still blistered, but there was no pain anymore by the next morning. This was truely a miracle!!

Seth's job hunting was also a trial that we faced through the summer.... ALL SUMMER! BUT, I believe that with the help of my Secret Sister's prayers, and the prayers of others along the way, Seth received the job that he most desired.

I also faced a lot of depression throughout the summer that I tried to keep inside, out of view from everyone else. Whispers from evil things never do good to one's heart... but through prayer - I have experienced less depression over the last couple of weeks. This is very interesting because earlier in the month I had received a card from my Secret Sister, Bobbie, who had said that she was worried that I hadn't posted in a while. She just seemed to know that my soul was getting bogged down, and said that she had been praying for this to be lifted. These of course are not the exact words, but she KNEW that I was down.... and had been praying for my heart..... I thank you so much for that Bobbie, because NO ONE else knew about this... but God put it in your heart to pray, and I have been able to focus on God, more than the worry, over the past couple of weeks!

So many times I could have falled on the floor and given up this summer, but my heart was lifted and I was able to refocus on The One that can do all things. I thank you, Secret Sister Bobbie, for the prayer that you offered through my journey. You are etched into the story of my life and will forever have a place in my heart.

Posted by bubbebobbie


I am teaching a women of Faith Study called Contagious Joy and last week a girl came in saying she had been suicidal and very depressed all week long and transfered into our class. She worked on the study to catch up and has been so surprised a hw her joy is returning. It is so easy to let the cares of this world interfere with the Joy of the Lord which truly is our strength and our song.

I am always with in the reach of your keyboard. You are in my prayers and I am so glad the Lord has brought you hrough all your trials this summer. Praise God for a NEW season!

Because of Jesus, Bobbie

I just wanted to stop by and thank you for being the wonderful secret sister you have been. Your encouraging words uplifted me many times this summer, but especially when half of my family was away on a mission trip and we couldn't hear from them. Thanks for the booklet Captivating and the Book Touchpoints for Women. I also wanted to let you know that in my yardsaling this summer I found the perfect purse for .25 and can now carry the paper and index cards that you gave me. I love it and I love having the paper available, because I'm always looking for something to write on. Thanks for the keychain and the rainbow bookmark, but most especially all of your prayers.
