I have been through an interesting and in some ways, dramatic time in my life recently. During these past few months I've learned much, don't know if I want to share it all publicly here at this point, but....maybe later....
Last month I lost one of my dearest friends. She died at the beginning of September, on the birthday of my Dad. Then my Dad passed away on the 25th of September. Both of these events were sudden and unexpected. I am amazed at how Yeshua has carried me through with His love. Looking back I can see ways in which He was preparing me for these very sad changes. He spoke to my heart once the word "elah." In my spirit I knew He was directing me to look it up in the Strong's Bible concordance which has every single word in the Bible listed, with its Hebrew or Greek meanings.
The word elah was the name of a specific person, I knew that was not the meaning of it for me....then reading just a little further, I learned the other meaning of this word is "Strong support." Yeshua was telling me He is my strong support. At the time this blessed me very much, but now I can see He told me this in advance for a reason, knowing the grief I would soon be going through. How amazing and kind He is, how amazing and wonderful is His faithfulness and Love. Truly I could not live without Him, and I wouldn't want to if I could.
Today I discovered this beautiful article, a testimony of a miracle of the Eucharist. It is different kind of miracle than what you might expect. I hope you'll take a minute to read this. It is definitely food for thought and prayer for me at this time especially.
