Blessed by Oasis
Posted: Mon Feb 25, 2008 10:39 am"the peace of God that surpasses all understanding" Phil 4:7
I lacked peace in my life. when something happened, especially to my family, I would fall apart. Instantly. Since coming to Oasis this has changed. Oasis has been used of God to teach me what that verse means.
Inspite of our circumstances knowing that God is in control. Even when we do not "feel" that He is, He still is.
When my oldest son got hurt on the job on Thursday I was in chat doing "Overcoming the world". The old me would have fallen apart and probably made a hard thing worse. Instead I sent my husband on a head of me to the hospital and I finished "Overcoming the World" and then saw my son. The wonderful thing was people in Overcoming the World with me automatically started praying. I was so richly blessed by that.
My son is on the mend. If I had fallen apart I would not have experienced that blessing. I knew God had a reason for allowing it to happen. Maybe through this my son will draw closer to the Lord again.
My husband and my son bonded through this which enriched us because there has been strain in the relationship in the past.
If I had fallen apart at the hospital, the focus would have been on me.
Since I have MS, when I fall apart I really fall apart! It's very noticeable.
Another thing I praise God for is the fact I am not as lonely since finding Oasis. I am not able to get out as much as I would like to and I miss Christian fellowship. Now I awake in the morning looking forward to coming on this site and fellowshiping with all of you. You all have blessed my life.
God Bless You All
