I have been awake for about 4 hours today and there have been some
incredible things already happening. I started out with Sunday
service, of course, which was amazing. The sermon was on betrayal
specifically related to Psalm 3 and Davids life. This is something
that has been laying heavily on my heart for years. Betrayal of
friends and boyfriends is something that I somehow just can’t seem to
let go and forget about. The saying of ‘the past is the past’ or
‘forgive and forget’ are not easily come by with me. That was until
today.. when my eyes were opened. Pastor gave multiple examples of
where betrayal could lead and one specifically stuck out to me. He had
said that eventually betrayal will lead to blessings or bitterness. If
I continue to hold these grudges in my heart i will not move forward to
see the great things to come in my life. I was also reminded yet again
that the Lord will always be there for me and I need to turn all my
emotions and sufferings over to him. Stated in Psalm 3:3 it is written
that He is a shield all around me and His glory lifts up my head to
Him. Pastor had told us that our heads can not be lifted by God until
we first BOW DOWN to him. Incredible.

Then I came home, checked my account and boom there it was an
outstanding generous donation. About a week ago I blogged about my
feelings towards fund raising and the lack of support I have been
feeling. Thank you to the many that commented, your advise was taken
and it worked wonders on me. My prayers were different, my outlook was
different and in just this week alone $620 was placed in my account..

I’m sitting at my breakfast counter eating some leftover chinese
from last night (yum) and ahead of me is a plaque that has been sitting
in my kitchen for probably 6 months. I love what it says but never had
the few words mean something to me as it did in that moment. It reads,
“Faith is not believing that God can, it is knowing that God will.” Is
it not just mind boggling sometimes how God chooses to work in us
through simple words, songs, experiences?? I am constantly blown away
by His voice in us.

Fortune cookie time…. “Your eyes will be opened to a world full of beauty, charm, and adventure.”
Enough said. Can I get an Amen?!
Love you guys. I hope that everyone has the ability to just open
their eyes and take in and appreciate the smallest of things that God
does for us everyday!!
