It has been amazing as I have cried and questioned God over and over again and complained to Him and whined. And all I really sensed from Him was WAIT, BE STill. My Grace is sufficient, I am enough. I felt like I wanted to just walk away from it all and I could have, but He was holding on tight to me the more I bucked. And then it hit me on how over the past week He was pouring out everything to me. And He did it on the Highway Tuesday morning again. I was driving and I removed my everyday CD's as of late for some Christmas CD's and last year I bought a new one to listen to. And it was from a secular Artist Jewel, the songs name is called "Face of Love". And the Chorus goes: "for I have seen the face of love, the GRACE of God. I started listening to it over and over and it was such a comfort. The verse that came to me again was "How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! Which is in today's devotional reading I did today. Which is a verse that has hit me before. I am His child and He does care. I believe that with all my heart. Then out of nowhere this Truck passes me in Tuesday MORNING Rush hour traffic, while my lane is stopped. And on the side drivers door it said "Jacobs Trucking". But what made me read it closely was there also was three crosses on the door. And then the Verse Philippians 4:13 was under the crosses. And I know the verse by heart, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. And because I know that verse so well because everyone always misquotes it like I'm doing now but I for some reason I was stuck on "through Christ". For the rest of that morning when I got home I just could not believe that I could be so encouraged by a truck sign. And then it happened I had this joy and peace and I still have it today and it was given to me by God. No one else. I have felt His amazing love and His presence. See below the words to that song.

Face of Love

Until Tonight
My heart was just half full
I'd never known the fruit which fed the soul
But now I see what may put to rest my longing

For I've seen, the face of love
The grace of God, the face of love

In silence I feared my heart
Would remain words unheard
Inside a separateness of skin
But now I know that the skin just veils the soul

For I have seen, the face of love
The Grace of God, the face of love

So take my hand and knowing
With it I also give my heart
Wanting never to be separate again
Let eternity begin

If you were flame
I'd allow myself to be consumed completely
Were you wind I would wish you pass through me
But now I know that the skin just veils the soul

For I have seen, the face of love
The grace of God, the face of love
