A Hug From God

I just received what I have decided to call a hug from God. I think this is only the most appropriate name for the moments in life where God gives you a precious gift of reassurance or encouragement. Mine came from a sweet girl I just know will become a close friend very soon. I got to speak with Melanie, a mzungu living for Jesus in Uganda, on skype tonight. She answered a lot of questions I had and gave me some very wise advice and encouragement. I am so thankful for this hug from God. I could never begin to describe the feeling you get when God answers prayers you didn't even really know you were praying. Just to know that He knows me is enough. It is amazing! He always knows our deepest needs and desires, and tonight I received some great encouragement! Thank you Melanie for allowing God to "hug" me through a conversation with you. :-) It means so much to me. Thank you God for giving me that sweet gift when I didn't even know it was exactly what I needed. God is good all the time!
