God has such a wonderful sense of humor. Yes He does. I think that’s why He loves me so; He finds me to be quite comical. The past few days I’ve had to sit back and chuckle at how He has presented a situation to me. It went a little something like this - I do something….He counters. I pray something…He answers. I sow a seed…He gives me a harvest. I listen to a song attached to an email sent to me …He sends confirmation while listening that He will give me the desires of my heart. That’s the kind of God that I serve.
For the past eight (8) months I have enjoyed being able to focus on my family, especially my children and their needs. It wasn’t a decision that I made for myself, but it worked out for my good; it’s been a long time since my children have had me 100% to themselves without having to share me with work, their extra curricula activities, etc. For eight months we’ve had dinner together, we’ve created a business together, we’ve spent many days laughing, decorating their rooms in their favorite colors and most importantly we’ve made time to have Morning Prayer like we used to. During my time off God had to remind me that what was meant for my bad has opened up so many doors for me. He showed me that nothing happens apart from His will and that it’s possible to have peace when the devil wanted me to have turmoil. My friend in D.C. reminded me that eight (8) is the number of new beginnings, so it is only fitting that God would close a door that I had just put my hand on so that He could give me my new beginning; He didn’t want me to lose focus of His plan for me (Jer. 29:11).
With a smile on my face I think of my friend, the jazzy medical student that sent me the email with the song attached. I hope she knows that I miss her too and think of her every time I wear the earrings that she gave me. Little did we know that we would eventually have a lot in common – God put us on pause to show us a few things about ourselves. As the messenger she had no clue how the very person that she sent me the message through would also be the person that blessed me earlier with an email that would change my life & my direction. She had no clue that while I was listening to the song that she sent to encourage and uplift me that I would receive a phone call with a job offer even before the song ended. Nothing but God…Whatever God has revealed to her about her future I know she’s going to take it by storm; being cute and jazzy along the way. It’s been a while since I’ve seen her, since I’ve had a chance to pick with her as only I know how to do, but God placed me on her mind and through her He spoke a message that He knew I needed to hear. To my jazzy friend & to the person she sent the email through ~ God has a plan for our lives and no one can take our place. Many thanks and much love to you both! See ya at the top! TGBTG
