The Two Greatest Encouragements Yet

This week has been one of the toughest weeks for me, but I was encouraged in two ways. First my friend's friend sent me an email and she read me a poem called A cushion for your head. By now I am sure you are wondering how did she read you the poem when she sent you an email. Well to answer that question she sent it like a voicemail. This is a great poem and I love that God is telling us to just sit there right now and not do a thing but rest. Resting in God in a time of need is the best feeling ever. I also love that we can use God's words as a cushion for our heads... after all his word is our counselor. This is how the poem goes:

A cushion for your head: 

Just sit there right now
Don’t do a thing
Just rest.

For your separation from God,
From love,

Is the hardest work
In this
World.

Let me bring you trays of food
And something
That you like to
Drink.

You can use my soft words
As a cushion
For your
Head. 

And then the same day I got that email I was on my facebook and I saw this on Sheri Rose Shepherd's page. It says: "When you have no idea what to do and you’re too weak to fight the good fight, just be still and know He is God. Let Him fight for you. All you need to do is stand. What I mean by “stand” is to avoid making any decisions while you’re in the heat of emotion. Instead, take time to seek wise counsel and to allow your heart to calm down. Stand; don’t walk away. God will walk you through this, and when you follow Him, you will find you’re still standing once the crisis has passed.

So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.
1 Corinthians 15:58"

I hope that both of these encourage you as much as they encouraged me this pass week. I am now much happier in my time of need because I know that God is in control and I know that he won't give us anything that we would not be able to handle.
