]]> Comment on I’m back! by Susan McAlinden http://thewerners.org/2010/08/16/im-back/comment-page-1/#comment-1381 Susan McAlinden Tue, 17 Aug 2010 16:39:30 +0000 http://thewerners.org/?p=73#comment-1381 It's so nice to have you"back" Cherie! I can't wait to hear more about what you learned at the conference. I loved this blog post! We supported Courtney, and before praying, we discussed contacting you and Jon to see if you agreed with the direction she was going. However, we prayed, and I kept getting the feeling that this was COURTNEY - genuine, honest, trustworthy. I had peace about supporting her. Paul agreed. Isn't it neat that we DIDN'T contact you, but allowed God to guide us and then we learned after the fact about your mis-givings. As a parent, I totally understand where you are coming from. I'm praying NOW for me to trust in God for their futures and that they will all do the things that He has in mind for them. We have been blessed by Courtney's blog (Megan follows it as well), and by her beautifully written note to us in response to our gift. She really is amazing. It looks like God has other ideas for a direction for raising up young leaders. So neat that your girls are on the fore front of it. Thanks for sharing! I always come away learning something from you. It’s so nice to have you”back” Cherie! I can’t wait to hear more about what you learned at the conference.

Your message certainly lifted me up today, as I was feeling overwhelmed by our current storm. But I will not worry but pray, I will take courage in God's past deliverances in my life and praise Him for His blessings in this trial. Thank you for sharing your heart and love for the Lord with me and others. I have shared your blog with other friends going through similar trials and they have been encouraged by your words as well. You all have been in our thoughts and prayers and I just know that God is using you in a mighty and powerful way in His kingdom.
