Thanks and praise

I wanted to take some time to give glory to the big man upstairs. A peculiar thing happened to me while I was in my car Friday. I was sitting in traffic and the beggining of the song had just started so I stopped to listen. Then I hear what sounds like the start of a gospel song and I was about to change it. Not that I have anything against gospel music I like gospel music I guess I just wasn't in the mood for it at the moment. So I go to push the button and the man speaking the intro says something that grabbed my attention. "He will meet you at your need all you have to do is believe. Even through struggles.." and then he started naming off all these struggles... divorce, abuse, job loss, loneliness, family struggles... every SINGLE one I had been witness to in my life. As I am sitting there in traffic drinking my starbuck's on my way to get a pedicure I started to cry. Yeah I know that's retarded and I will probably get made fun of by whoever decides to read this, but I was crying because I was happy.
I HAD been delivered from all of those things and I had been filled with the feeling of warmth and a knowing that it's not over. God has much bigger plans for me and in that moment in my car I thought of all the prayers I thought had been unanswered or when I thought he wasn't listening and it was then that i realized he was and always had been. It was like my own little personal reminder that God loves me.
It's moments like that that make me realize how extraordinarily blessed I am, and I just had to share. Maybe this will serve to remind someone else of blessings in their life too. :)

  1. I really do believe that God speaks to us in various ways to let us know he is there and watching over us. With the crazy day I've been having today it was refreshing to read this and realize that there are a lot of blessings in my life that I take for granted.
