I hope everyone had a wonderful smokefree day. Sunday was full of awesome surprises for me. Since I quit smoking, God has taken control of my life.I think He was waiting for me to lay my addiction at His feet and step out in faith. I know in my heart that He led me to this website where I would find the most empathetic and loving family ever.
Yesterday my son who is 36 who lives with his girlfriend, which I totally disagree but said nothing, is very unhappy in his relationship and is moving back home. Now if I hadn't quit smoking this would not be happening because he quit smoking right before me. I have been praying that God would open his eyes to this realtionship and get out before they married. God rewards obedience.
Another reward since I quit smoking and I know this would never have happened if I had not done so. I thought at church I was just asked to be a fill in deacon for serving the Lord's supper when they were short of deacons and I thought wow God that is awesome. Well I found out the church board who makes all decisions had nominated me for full time deacon of the church and I was asked in a manner that I misunderstood it. I just about fell in the floor when one of the elders informed me. Yesterday was my first Sunday serving The Lord's supper as a full time deacon. Until this time, I was totally against women deacons, elders and pastors but God has been working on my heart. If I had not quit smoking, I just know God would never have permitted all of this to happen.
I will stop for now but other wonderful things have happened to me since I quit smoking that only God could have done. I hope everyone has a wonderful smokefree day and Cookie and I are sending hugs and kisses.
God bless
Carolyn and Cookie
