A day in the life of a workin girl...

I love the saying "April showers bring May flowers" What about June? Well, June these days have been filled with humidity and late afternoon thunderstorms. June is the beginning of summer and always fun for a recent high school graduate! Pool parties, BBQ, trips to the zoo and night time campfires. But without the constant homework load and papers due a girl can get preoccupied with friends and the social life around her. I love this because God just pulls you back and reminds you that there is a time and place for everything. Recently I have been able to experience a situation just like that. I love to get ahead of myself and think about the future too much. When will I get married? How many kids will I have? Where will I live? So many things to worry about and I try to do it all on my own. God just grabs me by the hand and pulls me into His lap and says "tell me what your thinking, hoping and worrying about!" Sometimes this pulling can be hard and it forces you to give up possessions or people. One scripture that has given me comfort is “The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; your love, O LORD, endures forever— do not abandon the works of your hands.”- Psalm 138:8. Praise God that we have a hope and a future in Him and that what He has planned for us is way better than anything we could imagine!

Forgotten?

Sometimes I wonder, has God forgotten about me?  I'm sure every true believer and follower of Christ has asked themselves that.  For me it came all at once today.  Not subtle at all. Nope. Just all at once.  The word W-E-D-D-I-N-G is a word I hate now.  Its hard to see others getting engaged and being able to plan their wedding and all the to-do's that come with that.  Sometimes I wonder, when it will be my turn.  Can't God just reveal it to me in a dream?? No! But why not? Then the verse comes to mind where we find out the Gods ways are not our ways, His plans are not our plans! The peace comes and I now know that its better not to know. Just have God take the wheel and the map and just let me ride along.

The hardest day!

Have you ever fought with someone who you hate to fight with? Well, last night I had a huge fight with someone close.  That sick feeling wells up inside of you and you just can't sleep or think about anything else.  Prayer is the only option.  It sounds too simple. A simple prayer to solve this sick, horrible feeling inside.  But as soon as the words come out of my mouth a peace surpassing all understanding comes over me.  Like a breeze, a soft breeze from heaven.  Eventually the fight ends and your happy again but did that breeze end? No! That wonderful breeze continues and it fills you with hope and joy.  Only a joy that can last through the fights and happiness.
