WOW!

Ok, so, things have been really hard lately. I've been under a lot of spiritual attack, and I've been going through a lot of tests...it's been tough. And yet, good at the same time. I've been going through all of these attacks because my spiritual walk has been growing so much! I've been learning how use spiritual gifts and the power of prayer.
SO, Jeremy has been good for two and a half weeks now, and I've not heard anything from him personally, which I knew would happen. UNTIL a few minutes ago!! I couldn't believe it!

My cell phone rang and had a weird number on it that I didn't recognize but I answered the phone anyways. And I heard a "Brittany... can you hear me?" My heart jumped. It was Jeremy, the guy I've not been able to stop thinking about for weeks, and have been praying for fiercly. We talked for 2 minutes, 13 seconds. He told me that he could feel my prayers and that God was answering them. He told me that he couldn't wait to see me and that he misses me. And that was the gist of our conversation.

Hearing his voice and hearing that he could feel my prayers was a gift from God. Like I said, I've been under so much spiritual attack, and God just really used Jeremy to tell me "Hey, I hear you and I've got it under control my dear." My God is in control and loves me more than I even realize and He loves to give me gifts that He knows will bring me delight. Now, I feel encouraged to continue to pray for Jeremy and his mission team. It's like getting that adrenaline rush during the middle of the basketball game when you know you need it the most because you're a few points behind, you've been playing your heart out, and that little push gives you the strength to make it to the end of the game. It's up to you to make the shots and play good defense, but God just gives you the fight inside of you to keep going and let you know He's there and He's rooting for you.

So... two weeks and 2days down, two weeks and 2 days to go.
