Apology in advance

I have been going through some turbulent times of late. But my faith keeps my spirits up. I know that better times are ahead. 'I know the One who holds my future.' I have always received encouragement from unexpected sources during my times of trials. Just as Moses received divine guidance through his father in law (Exodus 18: 13-27) I have received not just guidance, but also messages of reassurance through others at such times; He sends unexpected messages of encouragement through people to whom I have meant something.

I contacted a former colleague this morning just to get something clarified. Her reply included the following message that reassured me and encouraged me so much that I see it as a message from heaven.

"You were on my mind this past 2 weeks. You have no idea how much I admire your honesty and your commitment to values even when honesty does not serve ur personal interest. Just wanted to let you know that I have so much respect for you."

Please forgive me if you think I'm showing off. To me such messages tell me that my life thus far has not been a dead loss. Thanks to that former colleague, and I thank God for making me find favour in her eyes. May God keep her blessed always.
