My Lord,
You #still overwhelm me! Thank You!
It feels as though it's been a while since I've written to you. Not sure if I thanked you for allowing me to have the flu. I was able to be still for more than 7+ days. Thank you for restoring my health. And, although I do not have a medical answer for my right ankle, I am thinking you in advance for healing and that area as well.
Thank you for allowing me to purchase Christmas gifts for family and friends. Thank you for the overwhelming amount of Christmas cards that I received. The love of your Saints still overwhelms me.
Thank you for the quality time that I haven't been able to spend with my baby sister. Thank you for continuing to provide for my son and my daughter and my beautiful godly Grangirls.
Thank you that my life and law-enforcement is coming to an end.
I just want to take a few moments to talk about Christmas.
This post is inspired because I got an email from Carrie today. I love her and I miss her. And not only that, we just finished our Bible study, "Seeking Him."
It was indeed an amazing journey, and your Holy Spirit was with us the entire time. Hearts were pierced and we were vulnerable and connected on a deeper level than we ever have in the past. And that, was because your WORD is truth and life sustaining. Jesus Christ transforms lives.
Our candle light Christmas Eve service was amazing. Just rejoicing with your chosen children as we sang hymns and praises to our once baby Jesus who came in a manger and who is now our King brought tears to my eyes. I absolutely love to worship you. And I love it even more so when I'm surrounded by other believers who truly have a heart for you.
The love at Grace Church still overwhelms me. It is my heart's desire that every church expresses that same love, commitment, faithfulness, and adoration that we do.
Many of my friends and family members are still in the world and have not yet embraced your salvation and/or desire to have a relationship with You. Those are still heartfelt prayers from me to you.
Thank you for allowing me to have special lunch engagements, to include Arlean, Tessah and Summer. Thank you for allowing me to be busy in the fellowship and shipping! Your #patience and your #provisions are endless.
Father I have to praise you and acknowledge your faithfulness in my life. Waking up on Christmas morning with you and not having to be Sergeant Fuller was so amazing to me. I was able to sit and my chaise lounge and just be still with you. I listened to Christmas music, after praying and then started texting people and calling people and reading Christmas cards, and opening gifts, and crying, and laughing, and wow .... When I opened Beverly's gift. ... She and Amy blessed me with my very own personalized Bible.
#TEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I still cannot read it without weeping. But knowing me, you knew that would be the case. It completely overwhelms me each and every time I open it up. Thank you Father thank you from the bottom of my heart. When ever someone blesses me in that way, I always go back to you and your plans for my life. Nothing is new to you. You knew everything that was going to happen, and you know everything that will happen.
You knew that I would get the job as a substitute teacher, and you knew that I would not get the job as a temporary library assistant. In both regards, I thank you and I praise you!
Thank you for the blessings that you gave to me and my baby sister yesterday. Thank you for the sweet fellowship that I had with my family over the holidays. Thank you for the wonderful dinner that my son's dad prepared on Christmas Day and the sweet fellowship that I have with his godly wife, Barbara.
Thank you for the sweet fellowship that I had with my daughter and my Grangirls the day after Christmas and the shopping that we were privileged to indulge in. Thank you for the dinner that my daughter fixed which was really delicious. She cooks better than me. LOL
Hiwever, I made some brownies from a store package and she absolutely love them. LOL
Thank you for the wonderful time that we had at my mom's house with my sisters, my nieces, my great nephews, and all the love that filled the room.
Thank you for the devotionals that I have been reading lately and the ways that you continue to speak to my heart. Thank you for loving me so much and choosing to set your affections on me.
Thank you for hearing my prayer request for Missy, Josh, Dana, Karen, the Carpentets, my siblings, Kenneth, Scott, Kara, Barbara, Casey, Karina, Kenny, Kim, Tate, Mark, Janet, Charlie, Carol, the police department and so many others.
Thank you for the countless praise reports that I have read via Facebook and from our secret sister prayer ministry.
Father at this very moment I am at peace. And, whenever I think of the word piece, I am reminded of your promise to me and all those who choose to call you Lord. Your promise and John 14:27 is truth.
A very special thank you for yesterday's grace. I turned in my weapon at the Armory. And all I have remaining, are my uniforms and my police radio. On January 2, 2016, I will no longer be Sergeant Fuller but simply Ms. Fuller.
All glory, praise, and honor along to you and you alone.
Eternally yours
