Yesterday was an exceptional day for me. I got the last of the planting done in the garden and all of the flower pots on our deck. I then went to my prayer warrior’s home and planted her little garden for her. Last night my Celebrate Recovery sponsor came for dinner and the evening. He and his wife returned from AZ for a wedding of his wife’s dear friend. He wasn’t going to attend it so it was a perfect time for us to have a few hours together since they’d moved away a couple of years ago. I’ve not had a sponsor so faithful as he and I needed that faithful commitment. He said he did too so it has been a gift from God for us both.

A new client came for counseling yesterday morning. As he sat down in his chair, I asked what he’d like for me to know? He said he wasn’t sure what he should tell me for he was nervous and hadn’t really shared with anyone what he needed to talk about. I then asked if he’d feel better if he knew a little about me? He liked that idea so I told him briefly about my own story. It was then that he said, “OK, I can talk to you.” It was then that he began to share his story of sexual abuse and beatings in an orphanage where he spent his early childhood years before he was finally adopted.

When this appointment was first made it was for him and his wife. This will take place, but he also added he wanted to continue yesterday’s sessions for now he could talk to someone about his past. I’ll never cease being amazed how God uses everything to bring Glory to His kids!
