A Gift From God
God has been exceptionally good to me. From day one of The
Fifth Trial my girlfriend Tammy has stood by my side through circumstances that
I thought I was immune from. I was convinced before all this stuff went down
that I had been given someone very special; someone who was strong physically
and mentally. The thing that really surprised me was her spiritual strength. I
knew she was tuff, I knew her story and all her struggles and how she has persevered,
but what I have seen in the last 5 weeks has left me speechless. She is
fearless, obstinate, demanding (in a good way), compassionate and relentless! I
have never felt alone in this trial; with Tammy, it’s always “we”. When I am
away from her I can hear her say “Davis, you’re not going anywhere”. She is in
this with me; like she has this disease. For those of you who know her, you
know what I’m talking about. I know I am undeserving of this caliber of person
in my life; I have an incredible gift and I am grateful.
Lesson- So wrap your brain around this; God is for you! He
wants to give you gifts because He loves you. We are all undeserving of His benefits;
they are not earned so just accept them. Most of you have the best things from
God right under your nose- so look down and you will see them! God sent me the
perfect person at the perfect time because I’m His kid and He digs me. Say it,
God is for me!
Hey Pastor Greg. Troy gave me the link to this blog. You have many here in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia praying for your complete and total healing. I got saved at Calvary Chapel Brea after one of your sermons. You baptized me a little while later in 97 at Corona Del Mar. It was my oldest sons 3rd birthday. It was a "double dip" as you called it with my wife, Derrina, who had also got saved. Thanks for letting Him use you to add us to the kingdom. It took a little while, but our self centered lives that had all kinds of garbage became Christ centered. There are some who still cant believe my wife does missionary work. Shes been to Africa twice, the former Soviet Union, a Sioux Indian reservation in South Dakota, etc. You cant imagine how thankful I am to you for planting that seed. I took my oldest son on a short term mission to Mexico a couple weeks ago and celebrated his 18th bday. My younger two cant wait to serve Him like that. When my son was diagnosed with Juvenile Diabetes, I had Christ to turn to thanks to you. Its all worth it. God is handling issues that you and I cant even begin to comprehend. So we trust Him!!!! Please keep the blog going. Even after this trial is done with!!!! Its super encouraging. God Bless you and your family.
