Revelation by Third Day

I went to church yesterday,early as I had to teach Sunday School. In the middle of the lobby I saw Ms. Betty. McKenna of course went to hug her and she beamed with the joy that McKenna hugs bring. He smile faded as she looked at me and I started to crumble right there in the middle of the lobby. She took McKenna into the classroom, let someone know I was there and would be right back to teach and we stepped into a small room. Immediately down on her knees she went in prayer. What a prayer warrior she is. She prayed for me, for you, that God would hold you in his protective hands, that he would take my tears. I did not need to say a word, her prayers were as if God were telling me He was there. From where else would the words come? By the time she stopped praying, my tears had stopped. She asked me what was wrong and I just could not bring myself to say for fear the tears would begin again. I needed to have faith that her words would be true in all else she prayed as it was in God taking my tears. I have not cried since. And today on the way to school listening to the radio, as soon as I got in the car I heard Casting Crowns, Voice of Truth and I smiled. As I rode down HWY 11 I heard Third Day, Revelation, and God promise of "do not rely on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight" is very true. He will take your tears as he did mine. I am not to try to understand on my own but trust in Him and he will make my path straight. Then again, it was Mac Powell singing! :)
