Surprise!!!!

 

oops, uploaded a couple days late!

 

I’m not one to enjoy surprises. I love surprising others…but I really dont like being surprised.

But tonight, God surprised me! I had my night planned, and to be honest I was in a rather weird mood, a pretty down mood and just wanted my Jesus time in the coffee shop to just sit and read and pray and journal all the heaviness on my heart away.
But that wasnt what God had in mind! Instead, he worked it so that i would spend time hanging out with people I rarely ever hang out with or see for that matter for a while. and then ran into another friend at the coffee shop and had a quick catch up chat!
   I guess that is exactly what I needed….sometimes I just need fellowship with people that I don’t get to see often. That is sometimes just the remedy you need, and who God will use greatly to lift your spirits. Just sharing life and laughing together. I love it.

I’m feeling very blessed and very loved right now. Which I needed that. Because let’s face it, I’m extremely hard on myself. so getting together with some different people is quite a relief for me a lot of times.
Thank You God!
I love that you surprise me. I love that you know exactly what I need. I love that you pay attention to me and don’t want me to stay in a weird funky mood. I love that you want me to feel loved and to know and believe that I am loved and found in You and no one or nothing else!

THANK YOU MY KING!

 

Verse of the Day:
”Rejoice in the Lord always, again I will say, Rejoice.”
Philippians 4:4

reminiscing

 

I love God’s Sovereignty and how He knits people together.
Tonight as I’m sitting in a coffee shop, supposed to be working on quite a few different papers….but I guess God has other plans as Natasha and I keep distracting each other and just chat away. Reminiscing on the people we know, and how God has knit us and others together and worked in different relationships.
   It just blows me away that God is so Sovereign and that He knows the people we need in our lives, consistently and every now and then. and how even when people are not consistent in our lives, the bond that can be made is incredible. And the memories are life-long!

This just makes me happy, and love Jesus so much more!

 

VERSE OF THE DAY:
”Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.”
Ephesians 6:10-11

Thank You God for Saving Me

 

Yesterday during church all of a sudden this realization hit me…
  If I were to die right now, at this age, in this season of life, I would be completely content with that, simply because I’ve known the Love of God.

Some of y0u probably know that this past year has been a rough year in many different areas, but one of those areas has been singleness. Ive struggled with it like never before, and its probably due to a lot of my friends getting married, therefore I hang around couples on a regular basis, as well for females entering into their mid 20’s…..its just not fun!
But i realized, as much as I desire to have a husband in the future, or right now, I’m completely content. I’m not living for that desire. I’m living for my desire for God. and if I were to die without ever knowing the bond and love of a husband….THATS OKAY! I’ve known the love of God, I have the love of God which is enough for me!

Your love, O LORD, is enough for me.
I hope and pray that the love of God is enough for you too. and if your not at that point, that you will get to that point. because God is faithful, and is jealous for you. no matter your gender, your history, your story, your hurt…He is jealous for you!

 

P.S.
(this is not a morbid post, but a Praise post, because I’m grateful for the love of my LORD!)
