One example of feeling him as my comforter was actually about 6 years ago when Jeff's plane was hit, he landed in China, and then was held by the chinese for 11 days. I honestly have never felt so much peace and comfort in any other situation. The comfort God gave me allowed me to be a comfort for those around me who didn't feel that same kind of peace and comfort. It was totally undescribable. People would ask me how I could be doing so well and I honestly had to tell them, it was God. God comes through for us all the time. He comes through in the big things like the above example but he also comes through in the little things too.
Just recently I began have some anxiety about going to Hawaii. God has had to comfort me several times and give me peace about it. When I need comfort I would like to say I always go to God first. Many times I do and those are the times I am comforted and am able to get past something quicker. Other times, I turn to distraction (computer, books, tv...). They just don't comfort at all. They just prolong the anxiety.
The 1st trimester of my last pregnancy I felt and got so sick all of the time I thought I was going to die! It didn't help having a needy one year old either. I fell into bed every night literally dreading waking the next day. As I laid there in all of my misery I never felt alone. I had so many conversations with God....and I knew he was going to see me through. I am especially comforted when I can find myself pretending that Jesus has me wrapped up in His arms....holding me like I am his little girl....he held me a lot through that pregnancy!
I could feel God with me and that He cared for me through the craziness before we moved here. A new baby on the way, moving when he was only 6 weeks old, trying to sell the house, leaving friends and family that we love so much behind and trying to explain it to our children, Zach changing jobs and leaving the military life that he had known since high school, a helicopter crash the night I went into labor and praying that our friends were not in the crash....so many things going on that felt like total chaos, but He gave me peace through it all. Others would come up to me and ask me how I still had my sanity, and I could say that I knew God had it all worked out and that He was taking care of us. It didn't take long after the move to see how different things all worked into His perfect plan!
