Tender Mercies

Since the last post I have had several life events happen. One is that my reliance on the Lord has been increased, by choice as well as circumstance. I realized if anyone could help me it was him. So I took my petition to him one night, and the next day and the next. I kept working out and eating good during that time. Then the unimaginable happened. My husband got up upset in the morning and called his ex wife, and along with a lot of other things he begged to go back to her. Through a series of events things came to an end. I found myself alone again. I prayed that mercy would prevail and that I could go on and not feel anything, no pain, no sadness. Of coarse that was not something I was granted but through it all I was granted a tender mercy. My back strength was increased and my Chiropractor offered me an unlimited plan each month so I can be adjusted as many times as I wanted to keep in shape. So amidst the sad events of the past two weeks my Heavenly Father allowed me to accomplish something that I really wanted. The past two weeks I have trained for my mini tri. Then my dear friend Kim called and said she wanted to do the tri along side me. The sweetness of that offer makes me cry. She is such a blessing in my life. We are so excited to do this together.The events of life are not what I would have chosen but somehow the Lord extends his love and mercy to us in our darkest hours. He and our Father in Heaven are the only ones that we can truly trust to help us in our times of need because they know us. The truth is that they will never leave us, they will always extend mercy to us.
