Memorial Box Monday

Memorial Box Monday is the time we set aside to remember. To remember all the ways God has shown up for us. He is always faithful. (click on the picture above for an explination of what a memorial box is)

Are you in need of being reminded just how BIG God is? Are you in need of being reminded how much He loves you? Are you in need of being reminded that God can do ANYTHING?? I am, so I'm posting to remind myself......

It was April of 1986, I was a freshman in high school. I was playing softball and after practice one day the girls were watching the boys team from the public school as they practiced, and were talking about a couple of brothers, and asking which one was Chris and which one was Brian. Well I was no help because I didn't know either of them and don't even remember if I had ever seen them in town (which is strange because it's a small town). After more discussion we had figured out which one was which. On Friday of that same week we had a game in town and after the game was a dance and all my friends were going. By my parent's rules I was not old enough to go to the dance, but I asked anyway. My sister's boyfriend was gone in the Marines so my parents let me go with her. That night at the dance a guy came up and asked me to dance. After we danced that first song, he asked what my name was, so I told him, and then he asked if I knew what his was, and I said yes, it's Brian. He was surprised that I knew it, but thinking about it now, I know who wasn't surprised. It make me smile to know how God orchestrated the whole conversation about the two brothers just days before my parents allowed me to go to a dance, and Brian (my now husband) asking me to dance.
God is so awesome, and in my times of distress, I know He will always come through.
