Overly Joyed — An Impossible Historic Day
as in… totally really seriously OVER joyed. as in… pinch me I'm dreaming this can't be true. as in… I actually feel sick, like when you eat an overload of sweets and feel faint and dizzy. This is how I feel on account of being so overjoyed. The impossible has happened. The child whom I've loved as a daughter has come back. I can only weep and praise the Holy, True and Faithful God who is too kind to me and my family. The one whom I feared would be lost to me forever is now back and God is so gracious in His sovereignty. If you are hoping for the impossible then praise God with me and know that all things are possible for the King of Kings. Four years is nothing to wait knowing that full restoration is now here. It was a light and momentary sorrow and worth every second in comparison to the great gift God has given and the joy I feel right now and the hope I now have for the future. His plans are perfect. The suffering, grief and pain was not lost on my God. Dear Lord, please finish out the rest of this story and may I always sing your praises and publically give you glory for your loving-kindness. |

Oh Jen,
This is wonderful. We are so weak in faith somedays, that's why I am so happy that HE is so awesome in power.
May God continue to bring healing and restoration to your family.

Praises!
Amen.
May the LORD who delivered her out of the paw of the lion and out of the paw of the bear continue to deliver her from the hand of the Philistines, wherever she walks. (if you can forgive the paraphrase).
"Behold, we count them happy who endure" (James 5:11) whether or not they see His response in the way they pray. Praise God for his merciful, loving response and for your enduring prayer.

Wow!
That is so good, so amazing. God is so good and amazing. Your testimony will help others to "keep the faith". I'm so glad that I stopped by and heard your news. It puts a lot of things in perspective.
Rejoicing with you – let's all sing a chorus of "God is so good, God is so good, God is so good, He's so good to me"

Rescue the perishing Care for the Dying
We are strangers to each other, but one day, may be in heaven we will meet face to face… I thank God that He has answered your prayers. I do not have a biological daughter, but God has brought me a girl not old enough to have gone through all she has. She is still searching for God and I have been blessed enough to be some kind of a mother figure in her life. I pray for the day when I can make an entry like you have. Thank you for sharing your heart. I have thanked God more than once for the ability he has given you to share through the written word (TOS mag) Thank you for letting Him use you.

Shouting In Joy
Jen, I don't know what the history of your circumstances are, and I don't need to know . . but I can't help but rejoice with you. Your post was abundantly overflowing with the joy of the Lord and one can't help but be caught up with you. What a beautiful praise report, and I am agreeing with you that the Lord will bring a very happy ending to this story and a testimony that will bring hope to many many women. Thank you Lord!! 🙂
Psalms 98:5
Make a joyful noise unto Jehovah, all the earth: break forth and sing for joy, yea, sing praises.
